Where FamGlow fits
FamGlow isn't trying to be the AI that runs your family. It's the wall surface that makes the life you already have visible — calendar, kids' schedules, weather, photos — right there when you walk through the kitchen.
We still use AI where it helps: parsing school calendars, surfacing the day ahead, flagging conflicts. But the AI works for the family — it doesn't replace the family.
Stop juggling. Start glancing.
Free during beta. Use the tablet you already own.
