Stop drowning in family coordination.

Vela
AI Family Assistant
Field trip next Thursday. Please remind me to send the form Monday night.
Got it. I'll add Sam's field trip on Thursday at 9:30 AM and remind you Monday at 8 PM to send the form.
The Problem
Family life is run through your phone:
School flyers and email screenshots sitting in your camera roll
Practice times buried in old messages and group chats
"Can someone remind me…?" in the family chat
Mental load on one "default parent" who tracks it all
Things get forgotten, double-booked, or handled last minute.
The Vela Solution
Each family member chats privately with Vela, your AI family assistant on Telegram.
Turns messages into calendar events
Sends reminders so things don't fall through the cracks
Tracks tasks and shopping lists everyone can see
Imports from Google Calendar so you're not starting from scratch
You keep talking like you normally do.
Vela does the boring organizing.
