Baylo is your assistant for life and family admin, and you can talk to it like a person. Who's picking up Noah? Did anyone sign the permission slip? When's the dentist? What was that thing on Friday? Baylo quietly holds the reminders, notes, lists and small things that keep a household running, so you and the people you live with don't have to keep all of it in your head. No forms. No fiddly setup. No commands to memorise. You just say what you need, the way you'd say it to a friend. TALK TO IT LIKE A PERSON Talk to Baylo the way you'd actually talk. Type a message, dictate a voice note, snap a photo of the permission slip in your kid's bag, or forward an email from school. Baylo reads it, works out the dates and tasks, and sets everything up for you. A few things you can ask: "Remind me to call mum on her birthday next Tuesday at 6pm." "Add eggs and oat milk to the shopping list." "What was that thing I had to sort out for the kids on Friday?" "We need a gift for my sister, she likes hiking and crime novels." "Watch this link and tell me if the price drops below 20 dollars." IN THE APP, OR ON WHATSAPP Use the Baylo app, or use Baylo right inside WhatsApp. One tap to link the two. Most users end up on WhatsApp because that's already where the chats are. BUILT TO SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY Add your partner, parents or housemates. Reminders and lists can be just for you, or visible to everyone who needs to know. One tick from anyone in the family marks it done for all of you. Personal stays personal. Family stays shared. No one person has to remember it all. GETS BETTER THE MORE YOU USE IT Baylo picks up on what you tell it. Who your family is. What you care about. How your week tends to run. There's no profile to fill in and no settings page to wrangle. Over time it gets a feel for what matters to you, and occasionally offers a useful nudge when it spots one. You can always say no, and it remembers that too. WHAT YOU CAN DO Shared reminders for the whole family or just you. Notes for gift ideas, addresses, anything worth keeping. Lists for shopping, packing, to-dos. Voice notes, text, email forwarding, photos of letters and handwritten notes. Calendar import, with a timeline or calendar view. Price drop and ticket sale alerts from any link you send. Daily, weekly or monthly summary of what's coming up. Sign in with Google or email. For families. For couples. For housemates. For anyone with a busy life and too much to hold in their head. Let Baylo carry it with you.
