Discover how Momwise helps busy parents manage the chaos of family life with AI-powered chat, meal planning, task management, and more—all in one app.

It's 2 AM and your toddler won't stop coughing. Is it croup? Should you go to the ER? You're too tired to scroll through conflicting Google results, and your pediatrician's office is closed.

This is exactly why we built Momwise—an AI-powered family planner that's always there when you need it.

What Makes Momwise Different

Momwise isn't just another parenting app with generic advice. It's a complete family management system that combines:

  • AI chat that knows your kids and your family's context
  • Meal planning with recipes tailored to your dietary needs
  • Task management shared across your whole family
  • Smart suggestions based on your children's ages and your schedule

The best part? Everything works together. Ask our AI for dinner ideas and it can add ingredients directly to your grocery list. Mention your toddler's picky eating and future recipe suggestions will account for it.

Key Features

AI Chat That Actually Understands Your Family

Unlike generic chatbots, Momwise learns about your specific situation. When you add your children's profiles—their ages, any health conditions, their quirks—the AI uses that context in every conversation.

Ask "Is this normal for my daughter?" and Momwise already knows she's 18 months old and going through a sleep regression. No need to explain your entire situation every time.

Pin your most important threads so you can quickly reference that sleep training conversation or the list of activities for rainy days.

Family Workspace

Invite your partner, grandparents, or caregivers to your family workspace. Everyone stays on the same page with:

  • Shared tasks that sync in real-time
  • Family calendar integration
  • A unique family email (yourfamily@inbox.momwise.ai) for forwarding school newsletters and appointment confirmations

Meal Planning Made Simple

Planning family meals is exhausting. Momwise helps by:

  • Suggesting recipes based on your family's dietary preferences
  • Automatically generating grocery lists from your meal plan
  • Remembering which meals your kids actually ate (and which ended up on the floor)

Smart Home Dashboard

Open the app to see what actually matters today:

  • Today's timeline with upcoming events and tasks
  • Overdue items that need attention
  • This week's meal plan at a glance
  • Weather for planning outdoor activities
  • AI-suggested activities based on your kids' ages

Getting Started in 3 Steps

1. Set Up Your Family

After creating your account, add your children's profiles. Include:

  • Their name and birthday (age-appropriate advice)
  • Any allergies or health conditions
  • Personality notes that help the AI understand them

2. Personalize Your Experience

Tell Momwise what matters most to your family:

  • AI Assistant tone: Warm and supportive? Direct and practical? You choose.
  • Meal planning preferences: Dietary restrictions, cooking skill level, how much time you have
  • Activity goals: Screen-free play ideas, educational activities, outdoor adventures

3. Start a Conversation

The fastest way to see Momwise in action is to ask a question. Try something specific:

  • "My 2-year-old suddenly won't eat vegetables. What can I try?"
  • "Give me a 15-minute activity for my 4-year-old while I cook dinner"
  • "Create a bedtime routine for my 8-month-old"

The more context you provide, the better the response. And Momwise remembers your conversations, so you can pick up where you left off.

Pro Tips for Power Users

Forward Emails to Your Family Inbox

Got a school newsletter with important dates? Forward it to your family email address. Momwise can parse the content and add events to your calendar or tasks to your list.

Use Thread Tags

Organize your AI conversations with tags like "Sleep," "Feeding," or "Behavior." This makes it easy to find past advice when you need it again.

Invite Your Co-Parent

Parenting is a team sport. When both parents have access to the same information, tasks, and meal plans, you spend less time coordinating and more time actually parenting.

What Parents Are Saying

"I used to lie awake googling every little thing. Now I just ask Momwise and actually get back to sleep." — Mom of twins, age 14 months

"The meal planning alone is worth it. I haven't had a 'what's for dinner' panic in weeks." — Dad of three
