Family logistics arrive from everywhere — school emails, a flyer in the backpack, a text from another parent, something a kid mentions in the car.

Forward emails to your private address: yourfamily@smitty.app. School flyers, activity emails, PDF permission slips, image-based newsletters — Smitty parses the messy forwarded format and runs OCR on attachments.

Text Smitty anything. Screenshot of a schedule your kid handed you. A photo of the paper flyer stuck in the backpack. A quick note: “Sarah has a playdate Saturday, 2pm at our place with Sophie's mom Lisa.”

Update on the fly. “Move volleyball 30 minutes earlier.” “Cancel Thursday's piano.” Smitty updates the calendar and confirms.

Set your own reminders. “Remind me to pick up the kids at the movies at 10pm.” Done.

No portals to log into. No app to open. Whatever surface the information lands on, Smitty meets you there.

When the details are clear — date, time, kid, place — Smitty adds it to your family calendar and notes it in your evening update. When something's genuinely ambiguous (“Which kid?” “This Tuesday or next?”), Smitty texts one quick question. No permission slips for the easy stuff.

Nothing happens behind your back. Every action lands in your evening update and your web inbox, one tap from edit or undo. You're always in control — Smitty just stops bothering you about the easy stuff.

School-wide noise is quietly archived. Picture-day reminders only show up the week of. Sent to up to two adults because we believe sharing the mental load shouldn't cost extra.

Pings when something needs you now. “Pick up Sarah from dance in 15 minutes.” Reply “got it,” “done,” or “snooze 15” and Smitty respects it. Acknowledged items don't come back.

Ask anything, anytime. “When's the field trip?” “What's on Saturday?” “Did we RSVP for the birthday party?” Answers in under 30 seconds with full family context.

Calibrated to be under-confident, never over-confident. If Smitty doesn't know, it says so — and asks if it should remember the answer.

Smitty syncs to the calendar you already use with per-child color coding built in. Nothing to download and nothing new to learn. The shared source of truth, quietly working in the background.
