Zupzi is the family app where chores become missions. You pick the missions from a ready-made list — make the bed, put away toys, feed the pet — or write your own, and choose what each one is worth. Your child opens her own side of the app with a four-digit PIN, sees today's missions, and taps them done. When a mission needs a photo, she takes one and it lands on your phone for a quick yes or no. Approved missions turn into Stars; Stars turn into the rewards you set up — a movie night or a trip to the park. WHAT YOUR CHILD GETS • Her own board of missions, each with simple steps she can check and a voice that reads them aloud • Zupzi the cat can do a mission along: recorded voice, a timer and a cheer at the end — all on the device • Stars she earns and spends on rewards you chose • Small games: ABC Kitty and Seasons Run built in, and new ones she can ask for — you decide what gets unlocked • The Funny Mirror: silly faces, animal ears and backgrounds with the front camera — everything stays on the device • My week: the missions she finished and the Stars she earned, day by day • Zuzi, a voice friend who listens and talks back WHAT YOU GET • A three-step start, and a practice mission so you can see the app the way she does • Every mission and every reward under your approval • Print each child's missions, or save them as a PDF, to tick on paper • A Safety Center: quiet hours, how long photos are kept, whether Zuzi may listen, and how many minutes of Zuzi a day • The whole Zuzi conversation e-mailed to you after every chat, with a summary — and a button to report any conversation to us • Notices for everything that needs your yes • Pop-ups when a mission is done, and reminders on your child's device at the time you choose • This week: missions approved, Stars and rewards for each child, day by day • Help & feedback from the Family screen — a person reads every message • Sign in with Apple, Google or e-mail; delete the whole family account from Settings, any time ABOUT ZUZI Zuzi is a voice companion. She only listens after you allow it in the Safety Center; she understands and answers through Alibaba Cloud's Qwen voice service, which does not use your child's words to train its models. Each family has 10 minutes of Zuzi a month, shared by the whole family, and you can set a daily limit down to zero. Nothing Zuzi says is hidden from you: the full transcript reaches your inbox every time. ABOUT THE PHOTO COACH Off until you turn it on in the Safety Center. When a mission asks for a photo, an AI model can look at it and answer with a word of encouragement and a tip, spoken aloud. The photo, the mission's name and its steps are sent to Alibaba Cloud's Qwen service, in Singapore — never your child's name — and are not used to train its models. The coach can be wrong, and it never decides Stars: you still approve every mission. MADE FOR FAMILIES No ads. No purchases inside the app. No chat with strangers — a child can only ever talk to Zuzi. No analytics or tracking software. Zupzi is free, and each family can add up to two children. Zupzi was built by a father for his two daughters, and it grows with what families ask for. Write to support@zupzi.io — a person answers.
