Helping busy families breathe out. Family life isn’t difficult because of one big thing. It’s the hundreds of little things someone has to remember. School events. Appointments. Permission slips. Birthdays. What needs organising, who’s doing what and all the things that can’t be forgotten. That’s the mental load. Meet Pepper. Your family’s decision partner. Pepper brings your household’s commitments, calendars and responsibilities together, helping everyone understand what’s coming, what needs attention and what can wait. Not another calendar to maintain. Not another list for one person to manage. A little more understanding, shared across your household. MEET PEPPER+ AI-powered help for family life. Pepper+ takes things a step further. Using the information your household chooses to share, Pepper+ helps you think ahead, prepare for what’s coming and make everyday decisions a little easier. With Pepper+, you can: • Prepare before the scramble. Get AI-powered preparation suggestions tailored to your events and household context. • Make decisions together. Get thoughtful suggestions about what needs attention and who might take responsibility. • Capture the little things. Share information from your phone or scan a school note, invitation or reminder into Pepper. • Notice the patterns. Pepper can recognise recurring household needs and suggest ways to keep on top of them. • Start the week with clarity. Your Sunday Brief brings together what’s happened, what’s coming and what might need attention. Pepper+ doesn’t make decisions for your family. It helps everyone make them with more context and less effort. HAND IT TO PEPPER Less to remember. More room to breathe. Not everything needs your attention right now. When something can wait, hand it to Pepper. Pepper keeps the commitment, its preparation and its timing together, bringing it back when your household needs to act. You can stop carrying it around in your head without losing track of it. FOUR SIMPLE VIEWS Pepper makes family life easier to understand: • Today: What deserves your attention now. • Ahead: What’s coming and may need preparation. • Held: What Pepper is holding until it matters. • Done: What’s already been taken care of. A clearer picture of family life, without another overwhelming list. SHARE THE MENTAL LOAD Pepper is built for households, not just individuals. One subscription covers your household, helping everyone share responsibility and understand what’s happening. No more relying on one person to remember everything, explain everything and follow everything up. Everyone can see the plan. Everyone can play a part.
