Both parents stay informed

The information does not have to live in only one person's inbox or head.

Built for our family first

We were tired of one parent having to remember everything.

Mike and his family sitting together at home

Our family—SOFE's first household.

School emails. Permission slips. Activity registrations. Schedule changes. Appointments. The information is everywhere—but the responsibility for remembering it often lands on one person.

We built SOFE for our own family so important information could be captured, understood, and shared instead of carried around in one parent's head.

— Mike, founder of SOFE

Meet Sprout

Stay ahead of what's due. Understand what they're learning.

Sprout keeps track of the administrative and learning sides of your child's school life—so you know what requires action and what is shaping their day.

Never lose an important school update.

Sprout processes the school communications you approve and turns them into organized next steps.

  • Forms and permission slips
  • Registration deadlines
  • Payments and required purchases
  • School events
  • Schedule changes and early dismissals
  • Assignments and projects
  • Parent actions
  • Reminders before something is due

Field trip form due Friday

Maya's class is visiting the Museum of Natural History next Thursday. The permission form and $15 payment are due this Friday.

Reminder scheduled for Wednesday evening.

Learning Support · Beta

See what they're learning—and help it stick.

Sprout builds an ongoing picture from school updates, assignments, activities, and anything you choose to share, including teacher feedback and test results.

  • Follow current subjects, skills, and classroom themes
  • Add test results or other learning context
  • Identify areas that may need reinforcement
  • Generate short practice exercises
  • Suggest useful questions to ask your child
  • Track interests, projects, and activities over time

Fractions could use more practice

Based on Maya's recent quiz and this week's class updates, Sprout created a short exercise covering equivalent fractions and comparing values.

10-minute practice ready

Learning support is in beta and available now to Founding Families.

Sprout helps with both sides of school life: what parents need to do and what children are experiencing.

Sprout follows only the school sources you approve.

Choose the schools, teachers, programs, and senders Sprout should follow. Relevant communications are organized inside your family's SOFE workspace.

1

Choose approved sources

Select the school addresses, domains, teachers, activities, and programs that matter.

2

Sprout organizes what arrives

Relevant messages are categorized into information, deadlines, events, tasks, and learning context.

3

Your family receives what matters

Get reminders, weekly summaries, and clear next steps without rereading every message.

Prefer not to approve a sender ahead of time? Families can also forward individual messages directly to their SOFE assistant.

Meet Otis

The assistant for everything else your family needs to remember.

Sprout specializes in children, school, and learning. Otis helps your household remember, organize, and act across the rest of family life.

Remember Family Details

Save sizes, preferences, allergies, providers, gift ideas, documents, and anything your family will need again.

"What size rain boots does Maya wear?"

Create Reminders and Routines

Handle one-time reminders, recurring responsibilities, weekly resets, and seasonal tasks.

"Remind both of us to renew her passport in October."

Keep Shared Lists and Tasks

Capture groceries, packing lists, household tasks, purchases, and things that need follow-through.

"Add poster board and glue sticks to the school-supply list."

Ask About Your Family

Retrieve information already stored across SOFE and the agents working inside it.

"What do we have coming up for school and activities this weekend?"

Sprout understands your children's school life. Otis helps the rest of the household run. Both work from the same family system.

Your Family's System

SOFE is yours for life.
Sprout is included for the school year.

Questions we hear from families

What is the difference between SOFE, Sprout, and Otis?

SOFE is the family system you own. Sprout specializes in children, school, learning, and activities. Otis is your general family assistant for memory, reminders, lists, routines, and questions across your household.

What exactly does Sprout track?

Sprout can organize approved school communications into forms, deadlines, events, schedule changes, tasks, assignments, learning topics, projects, and activities. It also creates proactive reminders and school-and-learning summaries.

Which schools and apps does Sprout work with?

Sprout works from your family's email — whether your school emails you directly, through ParentSquare, Seesaw, ClassDojo, or a class newsletter. If your school uses a portal or app that doesn't send email, you can forward a message or screenshot straight to your SOFE assistant instead.

Does Sprout read my entire inbox?

No. You choose the school senders, domains, teachers, programs, and communications Sprout is allowed to process. You can also forward individual messages directly.

What if Sprout misses something?

Sprout is built to catch what matters, but especially in the first few weeks while it learns your family's sources, it's smart to keep an eye on anything urgent yourself. If something looks off or gets missed, forward it directly and let us know — we use real family feedback to keep improving accuracy.

How will I actually get reminders?

Wherever you already check — text message, email, or inside the SOFE app — based on how your household prefers to be notified. You choose the channel during setup and can change it anytime.

Is Otis included forever?

Otis's core household memory, organization, reminders, lists, and SOFE assistance are included with your lifetime platform license. Specialized ongoing services such as Sprout require renewal after their included service period.

What happens after June 30, 2027?

Your SOFE household platform remains yours. You can continue using Otis and your core household tools. To continue proactive school monitoring, processing, and Sprout summaries, you'll be able to renew Sprout — renewal pricing will be announced before then.

What happens to our school history if we do not renew Sprout?

The ongoing monitoring service stops, but the family information and history retained in your SOFE workspace remain available to you.

Can my partner use SOFE too?

Yes. A Founding Family offer covers the household members included in your family workspace. Both parents can receive the information and participate in the family system based on the permissions you set.

Does Sprout cost more if I have more than one child?

No. Your Founding Family offer covers your household — every child, school, and activity you set up — not a per-child fee.

Is it safe to share test results or other learning details?

Yes. Anything you share — like a quiz result or teacher note — stays inside your private SOFE household workspace, is never used to train public AI models, and can be deleted at any time. Sharing this kind of detail is optional and only used to help Sprout's learning-support suggestions.

Is this available outside Manhattan?

Right now, the Founding Family offer is live for Manhattan families while we roll out carefully with real households. If you're outside Manhattan and interested, reach out — we're happy to talk about what's next.

Do I need to pay for AI credits?

No additional AI purchase is required for the included SOFE and Sprout capabilities during the founding period. Reasonable service capacity is included, and the core paid service works without buying credits.

What if SOFE is not right for our family?

The Founding Family offer includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can export or delete your family information at any time.
