Sprout is your family's AI assistant. A chief of staff for your household. You tell Sprout what matters. Practice piano three times this week. Pack your bag every morning. Read for 20 minutes before screen time. Sprout turns your goals into plans your kid actually wants to follow. HOW IT WORKS Talk to Sprout the way you'd talk to a trusted helper. Set morning routines, homework schedules, chores, or any goal you care about. Sprout translates your instructions into your child's daily plan, complete with progress tracking and proof of completion. Your kid sees their plan on their own device (Sprout for Kids, available separately). They check things off, earn gems, and build streaks. You see proof: photos, timestamps, completion stats. No standing over their shoulder. WHAT SPROUT DOES FOR YOU • Routines: morning, after-school, bedtime. Set once, Sprout runs them daily. • Progress: see what got done, what didn't, and why. Proof, not just checkboxes. • Coordination: invite co-parents, grandparents, tutors, and coaches. Everyone sees the same picture. No forwarded emails, no group texts. • Conversation: talk to Sprout naturally. Ask "what's the schedule today?" or "remind her about the spelling test." Sprout handles the rest. • Gems & rewards: your kid earns gems for completed tasks. You control what gems unlock. • Safety: no ads, no strangers, no data selling. Every adult in your child's circle is verified by you. Sprout is PRIVO COPPA Safe Harbor Certified. YOUR FAMILY, YOUR SPROUT Every family gets a different Sprout. You decide how it coaches, how it motivates, and how it responds when your kid pushes back. Sprout adapts to your parenting style, not the other way around. DESIGNED FOR TRUST Sprout was built for families from the ground up. Your child's data stays private. The safety architecture was built first, and every feature grows inside it. No strangers can contact your child. No ads. No tracking. Just your family. EARLY ACCESS Sprout is currently available by invitation. Join the waitlist or enter your invite code to get started. WORKS WITH • Sprout for Kids: your kid's companion app (available separately on the App Store) • iPhone and iPad
