Chat with your assistant, where you'd normally chat with your partner.
Mellou joins the family group on WhatsApp or iMessage. Both parents communicate small things and Mellou keeps even the smallest of facts in its mind. Trust Mellou to remind you.
Talk to it like an assistant
Say it the way you'd tell a person - send quick texts or long voice messages. Mellou remembers everything you've said, like a human would, and reminds you in advance.
It anticipates what's coming
Most of the mental load is working out what has to happen for an event to happen: packing bags, washing laundry in advance, preparing snacks, checking what the weather is like? Mellou anticipates and briefs you the evening before.
Remove the flood of information
Most parents feel like they are bombarded with information in tens of different channels: multiple group chats, different email addresses, school apps, hobby apps, etc. - Mellou gathers all information for you to read in one channel.

Your family's life, kept totally private.
Especially when dealing with data about children, privacy becomes a huge concern. We understand that and keep everything related to your family private.

The team behind Mellou is building it for their own families first. Today's hectic life throws way too much information at us to handle: work, hobbies, home maintenance, family members and friends, cars, school. The flood of information from all different sources is just too much for one person to hold, and it feels impossible to keep up with everything.
Mellou handles the information flood and brings it together in one place: instead of opening five apps to find out what’s happening, Mellou keeps you informed in one chat, remembers everything for you and reminds you well ahead of time.
Questions parents ask
In WhatsApp or iMessage, wherever you already chat with your partner. Mellou creates a family group so both parents share the same information and Mellou hears it in one place. Each parent also gets a private chat with Mellou, for instance to update their own calendar.
No. For now Mellou lives in your chats. Later there will also be an app where you can see the family calendar, the task list and a knowledge base of everything about your family, but even that will be available as a web app if you have app fatigue.
No. When you talk to Mellou it answers and acts. Otherwise it speaks only when there's something to remind you about, or a new piece of information has been received and you need to hear about it. Mellou sends a full brief of your next day every evening, so you can be prepared. If you tell Mellou about Thursday's pickup on Monday, Mellou will remind you on Wednesday evening and just before pickup on Thursday.
Your calendar and email to start with, but soon you can integrate almost any tool or channel, including grocery orders, hobby apps and school groups. Mellou also follows the weather and travel times to anticipate things for you. You choose what Mellou can see and do, but we recommend giving it a safe access to your calendar and email for it to be truly able to take the mental load from you.
Tell it, in the chat, the way you would tell a person. It fixes the plan, confirms what changed, and remembers the correction. The more you use it, the more context it has about your family and the better it gets.
