Built for Real Parenting

• TALK OR TEXT WHENEVER YOU NEED IT
Some moments are easier to talk through. Others are easier to quietly type from the next room. Switch naturally between voice and text without losing the conversation.

• NEVER START OVER
HumanUp builds on what you’ve already shared, so every conversation begins with context instead of starting from scratch.

• KNOW WHAT TO SAY
Get practical guidance for what to know, what to try, and what to say. Save concise summaries and revisit them whenever you need them. Share them with a partner or caregiver to stay on the same page.

• DISCOVER WHAT OTHER PARENTS ARE ASKING
Explore timely parenting topics and real questions from families with children at similar ages and stages. Sometimes the most helpful question is one you hadn’t thought to ask yet.

Help Across Every Stage

From everyday questions to the parenting moments that keep you up at night.
Guidance is shaped around your child’s age, stage, and unique family context.

Topics include:
• Behavior & Emotions
• Sleep
• School & Learning
• Screens & Technology
• Family Relationships
• ADHD & Neurodivergence
• Health & Well-Being
And much more.

Privacy Protected

• PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS
Your individual conversations are never read by a person. Ask the questions you might hesitate to ask anywhere else, knowing your family’s privacy is protected.

• KNOW WHERE THE GUIDANCE COMES FROM
Every response is grounded in named parenting experts you can learn about, not anonymous internet sources.

• NO ADS. 
HumanUp exists to support families, not advertisers. Your information is never sold.

### 5/5 — Trusted

*2026-07-30*

The best thing about this app is the trusted sources vs general AI where you don’t know where the info is coming from.

**Developer response:** Thanks, Smange#1. Knowing exactly where information comes from is the foundation of what we built. When you want what’s best for your child, average advice scraped from the internet just isn't good enough. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Support the moment you need it

*2026-07-11*

Human Up has been a tremendous real-time resource for me as a parent. In moments when I feel overwhelmed or unsure of how to handle a difficult parenting situation, Human Up provides fast, thoughtful, and sound advice. It helps me respond with more confidence and show up for my kids in the way I want to, especially during the moments when parenting on my own feels hard.

**Developer response:** Thanks, LV Holly. Parenting can feel so isolating... especially in those overwhelming moments when you're trying to figure things out on your own. Providing real-time, thoughtful guidance so you can show up exactly how you want to is why we built this. So glad the experts on HumanUp can be that in-the-moment support and give you that extra confidence. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — A solid single source

*2026-06-29*

With so many opinions and ideas about parenting floating around, it’s nice to have one place to go that I trust. And when you look at the experts that HU has put together, you can feel confident in their advice.

**Developer response:** Thanks, Joji! There is so much conflicting parenting noise out there. Giving parents a single place where they can feel completely confident in the caliber of the experts on HumanUp is exactly why we started this. Really glad it's helping. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Helpful for those teen moments

*2026-06-24*

I was feel frustrated and not sure if the boundary I was holding with my teen was right or if I was being over protective. It was so helpful to chat with an expert and get advice. I was able to reframe how I thought about it and it changed the dynamic. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thanks, Vyb! Navigating the line between holding a healthy boundary and being overprotective is incredibly tough. I'm so glad a chat with the HumanUp experts gave you the right reframe to change that dynamic with your teen. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Exactly the kind of parenting support I needed

*2026-06-17*

I’m really impressed with HumanUp. One specific way it has been helpful is with my seven-year-old, who has suspected/undiagnosed ADHD and really struggles to fall asleep at night. Instead of spending an hour searching online for advice that may or may not apply, I was able to get calm, practical guidance that felt specific to our situation.

The advice helped me think through bedtime in a more thoughtful way — not just “try a routine,” but how to support a child whose brain and body have a hard time winding down. It gave me language, ideas, and a plan I could actually use that night. As a parent, that kind of support in the moment is incredibly valuable. Five stars!

**Developer response:** Thanks, MomErin22! Navigating bedtime with suspected ADHD requires so much more nuance than a standard internet search can provide. I'm really glad the HumanUp experts could offer that deeper, in-the-moment support and a practical plan you could actually use that exact night. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Easy Parenting Advice

*2026-05-27*

I’ve been using HumanUp for a few weeks and really like how natural the conversations feel compared to ChatGPT or Claude.

I’ve especially appreciated talking with the AI version of Dr. Ned Hallowell. As a parent of an 18-year-old with ADHD, it’s been helpful in thinking through how best to encourage and support my child.

**Developer response:** Thanks, Debi823! Navigating ADHD with an older teen requires a level of thoughtfulness that platforms like ChatGPT often lack. Partnering with world-class experts like Dr. Hallowell to provide natural, trusted guidance is exactly why we built HumanUp. So glad you're getting the support you need. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Remarkably Helpful

*2026-05-21*

I used the app to get advice on how to help my 10 year old daughter who was having issues chatting online with friends. Super helpful!!

**Developer response:** Thanks, Kme1022! The digital world of a 10-year-old has its own unique dynamics, and generic advice often just falls short of the thoughtfulness parents crave. So glad the HumanUp experts could provide the deeply age-specific guidance your daughter needed. – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Great for range of ages!

*2026-05-20*

We have kids ranging age from 16 to 7 and have been impressed with the insides provided on topics related to all of them. This is a great tool that we will continue using on a regular basis!

**Developer response:** Thank you, BigAl-BigAl!  Parenting a 7-year-old and a 16-year-old are two completely different worlds, so we're so glad our experts can support you across that whole journey. Honored to be a regular tool in your belt! – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Access to real experts

*2026-05-16*

I was frankly surprised at how useful my conversations were with these experts. We have a 10-year-old boy and good counsel is hard to come by,  especially awake in the middle of the night. 
Convos with real experts in so many different & helpful domains. The conversational manner is super cool, I especially found useful the fact that I could share the conversations & takeaways with my wife so that we could collaborate. 
So much better and deeper than ChatGPT help.

**Developer response:** Fantastic to hear, IamSammyC. We built HumanUp to go much deeper than generic AI, so we love knowing the expert counsel hit the mark. And great to hear you and your wife are collaborating with the share feature! – Jason, Co-Founder

### 5/5 — Finally, a parenting app that actually gets to know your family!

*2026-05-12*

I've been using this app for about a week now and I'm genuinely impressed. What sets it apart is that you can talk to expert coaches by voice or text — whichever fits the moment. But the real game-changer? It remembers your family. Unlike ChatGPT or other AI tools, I don't have to re-explain my situation every single time. It builds on what it already knows about my kids and our family dynamics.

As a parent, I can already feel the value after just one week. Highly recommend to any parent looking for real, personalized guidance.

**Developer response:** Thank you Alex. Building a product that actually remembers your family's unique dynamics was one our top priority so you can skip the repetitive context and get straight to the advice. Thanks for the high recommendation! – Jason, Co-Founder
