What Milo does

Milo is the Family AI. We give busy parents back time + mindshare by tackling the daily details with a behind the scenes co-pilot. By pairing a human in the loop with the latest in LLM capabilities we're able to effectively build a copilot for detailed, high context and noisy tasks, via a simple conversational SMS interface.

The Family AI - a copilot for parents

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Milo, an AI assistant that helps busy parents manage daily family tasks through a conversational SMS interface. It handles high-context, noisy activities by combining AI with human-in-the-loop support to save parents time and mental energy.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work across San Francisco, Vancouver, and Seattle, and the company will remain based in these locations after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our distributed team reflects where the founders live and work. Being spread across these cities helps us tap into talent and stay closely connected to different family experiences.
