The core functionality revolves around a robust shared calendar that offers two-way synchronization with popular services like Google Calendar, iCloud, and Outlook. This ensures that all family members are aware of upcoming events, school dates, and appointments. Chores can be assigned with a system of stars and rewards, encouraging children's participation. Meal planning is simplified with weekly meal schedules and an automatically generated, aisle-sorted grocery list, making shopping trips more efficient.
HouseChief operates entirely in a web browser, eliminating the need for app downloads and making it accessible on any phone, tablet, or computer. It also supports a wall display mode, allowing families to use an existing tablet or spare screen to show daily schedules, chores, and meal plans. Kids have their own profiles without needing email addresses or passwords, and a parent PIN ensures they remain in their designated view.
The AI Chief of Staff utilizes frontier AI models to help organize family plans and tasks. It can look up information, answer questions, remember requests, and add items to lists with an undo option. However, critical actions such as calendar changes, meal plan modifications, email processing, or new project creation always require a parent's approval. The platform prioritizes privacy and safety, ensuring that family data is never sold and no ads are displayed within the app. It offers a 30-day free trial, after which it costs $9.95 per month or $99 per year, with base AI usage included and options for additional paid AI usage.
