Hi HN! My team and I are building Penny, turning your caregiving WhatsApp group chats into helpful feeds that keeps everyone in the loop.

I see my friends and relatives being in numerous family group chats with the sole purpose of caregiving for someone. It's hard work trying to keep track of ground truth when coordinating care with different family members and other carers, and often scheduling mistakes can derail an entire treatment.

Penny would sit in your group chats and ambiently listen into the conversation, keeping notes and putting it in a feed that anyone in the group can see, without having to scroll through chat history. Penny is also a group member, so you can ask questions about anything, including something that happened too long ago.

In short, it turns chats into feeds. you can give it a try at https://app.pennyai.chat for free :) Let us know what you think!

Cool idea. Hard problem. To do this properly you need access to all communications of all family members. iMessage and email would be needed for my family to really take advantage of this. That level of access would demand more trust than I'm comfortable giving to a third party like this.

Skylight is making some progress as a family hub of operations. I could see value in something like this in that ecosystem, especially if there was a way to control data sharing.

For example, could this run on my Mac, review all the data, then create a memory/fact feed that I can review and control?
