A small computer in your kitchen holds your family's calendar, mail, chores and the facts you have told it. It texts each of you from one house number, and it does nothing on its own that you did not say it may.
The morning brief on a parent's phone, and one reply. A kid's phone gets its own three lines.
A parent sets Ira up and adds each family member by name and phone number, confirming consent for each. Ira then sends that member one welcome text that says what the house line is, that parents can see everything said on it, and that STOP ends the texts. A member who texts the line first gets the same welcome before any reply. STOP, START and HELP work on every number, always.
Everything. The messages, the calendar, the mail, the memory and the record of what Ira did are on the device you own. Our relay routes texts to it and keeps no content. The language model Ira rents sees one task at a time and retains nothing. The privacy notice says this in full.
The first thing a child hears from Ira is that their parents can see the conversation. The line answers schedules, chores, allowance and messages to family, and refuses everything else with one plain sentence. A child in distress is put through to a parent at once. Nothing about a child leaves the household.
Ira is in its first household now: ours. Write to hello@cowboyailabs.com if yours should be next.
