What is Milo?

Milo is an AI assistant designed to help parents and caregivers manage the administrative side of family life. It collects information from school emails, activity sign-ups, birthday invitations, and other family communications, then organises everything into a single calendar and to-do system. Instead of juggling multiple email threads and paper forms, families get a daily SMS summary of what's coming up, who needs to be where, and what needs attention. The tool aims to reduce the mental load parents face when coordinating schedules, permissions, and logistics across multiple children and activities.
