Family Chief of Staff

It used to all be in your head. That's Hermo's job now.

The AI family organiser that lives in WhatsApp. It reads the family emails, captures your voice notes, and turns it all into a shared to-do list and calendar your partner can see too.

Every household has an Invisible Load.

It’s easier to do it myself.
If I don’t remember, no one will.
Why do I have to ask?

The first step is making it visible to both of you.

What Hermo actually does.

Three things only Hermo does. No new app to install. No process to set up. It works on WhatsApp from day one.

Reads the family emails

You read the school email at 7am. By drop-off, you’ve forgotten half of it.

with Hermo

Hermo reads every email as it arrives and turns it into a to-do or calendar event, automatically. World Book Day on Thursday is on the list before you’ve made your coffee.

Captures from WhatsApp

You’re in the car. You remember something. By the time you’ve parked, it’s gone.

with Hermo

Send a text, a voice note, or a photo. It’s captured before you’ve parked. You’re already on WhatsApp. Nothing new to learn, nothing for your partner to install.

Your partner sees it too

You’re at work. Your phone buzzes: “what’s the kids’ NHS number again?”

with Hermo

Tell Hermo once. The to-do is on the shared list. Familypedia answers your partner’s questions on their own WhatsApp, without pinging you.

It looks ahead, so you don’t have to.

The Invisible Load isn’t just what already landed. It’s also what’s coming and hasn’t hit yet. Hermo handles that with two habits: Watchers that fire at the right horizon, and briefings that keep both of you on the same page.

Watchers fire at the right horizon.

Hermo watches the things that fill up early or sneak up late, and surfaces them while the good options are still available. You don’t ask. They show up.

Weekend Watcher
Every Friday afternoon, three curated activity ideas for the weekend. So you’re never on the back foot.
School-holiday Watcher
Fires weeks ahead of half-term and the summer break, while the good childcare options are still available.

And keeps you both in the loop.

A morning pulse on WhatsApp and a Sunday digest by email. Both go to both of you, so no-one has to remember to send the update.

Morning briefing
A daily WhatsApp summary of what’s on today, sent to both of you. Same picture, same time.
Weekly digest
A Sunday-evening email preview of what’s coming this week, plus a flag for anything that slipped.

Every feature, in plain English.

The basics Cozi gives you, and the AI chief-of-staff layer that makes each one 10x.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they join

Is Hermo free?

Yes, the Starter plan is free forever for you and your partner. It includes the shared family calendar, shared to-dos, meal planner, and weekly digest. The Helper plan (£4/month, less than £1 a week) adds WhatsApp capture, Familypedia, Watchers, and the daily briefing, with a 14-day free trial.

Does my partner need to install anything?

No new app. You invite your partner to your Hermo household, and from there they message Hermo on WhatsApp just like you do. Each of you gets your own morning briefing and can ask Familypedia your own questions. Shared things (to-dos, calendar, the meal plan) stay shared. For things easier on a screen, both of you can also sign in at hermo.ai from any browser.

What can Hermo see in my email? Can it send emails as me?

Hermo connects to Gmail through Google-audited OAuth, reviewed and verified by Google’s Trust & Safety team. Hermo reads your inbox to extract family logistics (dates, deadlines, reminders) and writes events to your calendar. Hermo doesn’t send email, reply to anyone, or delete anything from your inbox.

How is Hermo different from Cozi?

Cozi is a great shared family calendar and shopping list. Hermo does those things too, and it also reads the school emails and captures voice notes on WhatsApp, so events and to-dos get onto the shared list without anyone typing them in. See the full comparison →
