What the beta does

Meals and groceries, connected.

Coo’s first agent is Tuesday. It connects planning, pantry context, preferences, and ordering so each step can inform the next.

01 / Plan7

Make a week of meals.

Tuesday builds a seven-day plan around dietary needs, household size, and what your family will actually eat. You can swap any meal.

02 / Check◎

Use what you have.

Take a pantry or fridge photo. Coo identifies the items and keeps an editable inventory for planning and shopping.

03 / Order✓

Build the grocery cart.

Coo works out what is missing, remembers store and brand preferences, and can add items through your logged-in Instacart browser.

Why the name Coo

A COO keeps operations moving.

At work, a COO sets priorities and a team executes. At home, mothers are expected to be both the COO and the burnt-out workforce. Coo gives them an AI-native parenting stack that can plan, coordinate, and take routine work off their plate.

Coo stands for Caretaking Operations Officer.

It understands your needs, preferences, priorities, and recurring tasks before you say it. Specialized for the context of working moms.

Why me

Living with my sister as she became a mother showed me the support that was missing. Now I’m building it.

Coo began while living with my sister as she became a mother. I saw the work that rarely gets named: the constant decisions about meals, groceries, appointments, routines, and childcare.

I am not a mother yet. That gives me the time to build what mothers carrying this load rarely have time to build for themselves. Living close to the problem, with the freedom to execute quickly, puts me in a position to take it on.

We cannot offload much of motherhood’s physical or emotional weight, at least not yet. But operationally, we can support mothers far better.

Who we are starting with

Working mothers without their village to raise kids.

We are beginning with working moms of young children, especially those with limited support. Meals, groceries, care routines, and work demands collide here every day, making it a focused place to build and test Coo.

✦

The person holding the context

The one who knows the dietary needs, what is running low, what is coming up, and what the week can realistically hold.

◌

A family with changing needs

Young children make routines, food, energy, and available time change quickly. Plans need to account for that.

♡

Others who can take ownership

Over time, shared context should make it easier for partners and family members to see and own the next step.

How Coo works

One request can move several steps.

Coo uses a system of specialized agents. They share household context and can call the tools needed to work through a complex request.

Ask

Speak or type what you need, such as planning the week or using what is already in the pantry.

↘

Use context

Coo applies dietary needs, household size, pantry state, stores, brands, and saved preferences.

↘

Connect

The meal plan determines what is missing. What is missing determines the grocery order.

↘

Act

Review and edit the result, then let Coo move approved items into the cart.

✓

What we will be

One operating context for the home.

Smart grocery planning and meal prep involve countless small decisions. That planning is better left to Coo. We cannot automate the cooking with robots yet, but we can reliably automate much of the work around it.

Now

Tuesday: meals and groceries

Meal planning, pantry inventory, shopping preferences, and grocery cart building are available in the v0 beta.
