$25/mo · everyone in the house · kids included
Stop being your family's calendar.
Forward the school email. Snap the flyer on the fridge. Family Rumpus turns them into real calendar events, catches the clash with soccer practice, and tells the person who does pickup. One assistant, for everyone in the house — kids get their own logins.
One email in. A sorted week out.
📨
You forward it
The field-trip email, the practice schedule, the birthday invite — to your family’s own address. Or just snap a photo of the flyer.
🗓️
It becomes the week
Dates, times and places land on the shared calendar, attached to the right kid — and it flags the Tuesday where two things collide.
☀️
Everyone hears about it
A morning brief tells each person what their day looks like. It remembers who does pickup, the peanut allergy, and the shoe sizes.
No new app to make everyone download — it installs to the home screen in one tap, on any phone.
⚖️
Why not just use a chatbot?
The big assistants are built for one person at a time. Family Rumpus is built for a household — and it shows in what each one can do, and what four accounts would cost.

🤝
Actually multiplayer
A rumpus is nobody’s solo act — and neither is family life. Most AI serves one person at a time; Family Rumpus is built for the whole crew — share any conversation, work the same boards, vote in the same polls. Rumpus knows everyone and keeps you all on the same page.
💬
Share any chat
Invite family members into a thread — they read along and jump in, with everyone’s messages labeled.
🧩
Build together
Projects, jam boards, and lists are shared spaces — the trip plan one person starts, everyone shapes.
🗳️
Decide together
Drop a poll into the chat or pin it to a board — everyone votes from their own device, tallies live.
And the kids can actually use it
Their first AI, the way a starter debit card is their first bank account — a real tool, with your rules on it. You write the ground rules in plain English, choose which abilities each child can reach, and turn on check-ins to read their conversations any time. Your child sees a badge whenever check-ins are on: oversight, not surveillance.
Homework help coaches to the answer instead of handing it over. And when the assistant isn't sure, it says so and shows its work — so they learn to check it, not to trust it blindly.
Then it gets fun
Once the boring part runs itself, this is what the family actually does with it.
“Make it look cooler” 📸
Snap the bookshelf, see the makeover — with a shopping list.
Bedtime stories they keep
Illustrated, narrated storybooks made from one request.
Decide together
Every idea lands on a family mood board, ready for votes.
Songs about your life 🎤
Real sung songs from your week — with full-screen karaoke mode.
Kids make their own games
Describe a game and it’s playable seconds later, right in the chat.
Settle it with a poll
Takeout night, movie night — everyone votes, Rumpus counts.
Dark mode, for the late shift
One tap flips the whole app — or let it follow your phone.
What can it do?
🧠
Takes it off your plate
The calendar, the to-dos, the “who’s picking up whom” — forward a school email or snap a flyer and it becomes calendar events. Conflicts get caught before they happen.
- “Add soccer Tuesdays at 4”
- “Any conflicts next week?”
- “Here’s the field-trip flyer” 📸
🗂️
A shared family space
Projects for trips and plans, jam boards with maps and mind maps, grocery and chore lists with allowance — and live family polls when you can’t agree on takeout.
- “Plan our beach trip”
- “Poll: Thai, pizza, or sushi?”
- “Set up the kids’ chore chart”
🛟
A safe first AI for kids
Parents set the ground rules; kids get a warm, patient assistant with kid-safe activities, games that sneak in learning, and optional parent check-ins on their chats.
- “Play 20 questions with me!”
- “Tell me a bedtime story about a fox”
- Parents: ground rules in Settings
📚
A homework helper that teaches
Tutor mode coaches to the answer instead of handing it over — hints, leading questions, and hand-built interactive apps for the exact concept they’re stuck on.
- “Help me with fractions — don’t just tell me”
- “Build me a times-table game”
- “Explain time dilation with an app”
🎮
Kids make their own games
Kids describe a game or a lesson and it’s playable seconds later, right in the chat — mini arcade games, quizzes, science toys. Their idea, on screen, made real.
- “Make a flappy game with a dragon”
- “Build a fractions pizza game”
- “A quiz about the planets!”
🎤
Songs about your life
Write lyrics together in chat, then hear them sung — real songs with vocals, played in an animated visualizer with a full-screen karaoke mode. Birthday anthems, chore songs, lullabies about your actual dog.
- “Write a song about Liam’s first goal”
- “A lullaby about our dog Biscuit”
- “Make it pop-punk, then karaoke!”
🔨
DIY ideas you can see
Snap the bookshelf, the bedroom wall, the thrift-store find — and see it made over. Every concept lands on a shared mood board so the family can compare and vote.
- “Make this look cooler” 📸
- “Try it in navy, then terracotta”
- “Put the options on a board — family votes”
🎙️
Talk to it like a person
Real voice conversations with natural speech in a voice your family picks — plus a name and personality you choose together. It answers out loud, briefly, like a call.
- Name it Nova, make it playful
- Tap the phone icon and just talk
- Replies read aloud on request
👀
It keeps watch
Point it at anything that changes — campsite reservations, sports signups, a price — and it checks on a schedule and tells you the moment something moves.
- “Watch this page for open spots”
- “Tell me when signups open”
- A morning brief of the day ahead
🔐
Locked up tight
Everything your family says and makes — chats, memories, songs, even forwarded school email — is encrypted before it’s stored, with a separate key for every person in the house. The assistant reads your words in the moment to answer you, and they’re never used to train anyone’s AI. Delete a child’s profile and their key is destroyed: those words can never be unscrambled again.
- Each person gets their own lock & key
- Kids’ chats are for family eyes only
- Deleted really means gone
And it also…
📌
Ask for a board. Get a board.
Some things don’t fit in a list. Tell Rumpus what you’re planning and it builds a real board for it — notes, photos, maps, polls — and everyone in the family can move things around, pin their own, and vote.

Corkboard, chalkboard, beach, night — Rumpus picks a look that fits what you’re planning, and you can change it whenever.
🔐
Your family’s words are your family’s
Inside jokes, worries, wishes, a kid’s first chats with an AI — that’s your family’s business, nobody else’s. So everything is scrambled into a secret code the moment it’s saved, and only your family’s app holds the keys. And your conversations are never used to train AI models — not by us, not by anyone we work with.
What your family says
psst… we’re throwing Dad a surprise party Saturday 🎉
My lips are sealed! Want me to remind you to hide the cake? 🎂

Every person — kids especially — gets their own key, kept in a separate vault. Delete a profile and its key is destroyed, so those words can never be unscrambled again.
🤝
Never sold. Never shared.
Your family isn’t the product — the assistant is. We don’t sell your data, show you ads, or hand anything to advertisers or data brokers. Your words go to the AI that answers you, and nowhere else — they’re never used to train anyone’s AI.
🌱
Start with as little as you like
You don’t have to hand over your life to get help with it. Use nicknames, skip the location, leave calendars unsynced — everything works beautifully from day one. Each detail you choose to add just makes the help sharper. Your call, always. Nothing is ever required.
🏷️

“But we already share a free ChatGPT account.”
Plenty of families do. That account can't read your school email, can't put anything on your calendar, can't give your nine-year-old a login of her own, and forgets your family the moment you close the tab. One shared login is one person's assistant that everyone takes turns being.
$25/mo covers everyone in the house — and one hour of tutoring costs more than three months of Rumpus.
