A shared view for your family
The family workspace helps everyone work from the same recorded plan. Sign in with your own authorized account and accept the invitation to your circle; someone appearing on the roster does not mean they already have account access.
Today: catch up on what was reported
Today shows the day's check-ins, their recorded replies, the current caregiver assignment and unresolved family follow-ups. An empty plan means no check-ins are listed for that day—not that someone is safe.
An unresolved follow-up can remain visible after its original day. Its title and due date identify the occurrence. A link into Plan helps you inspect that specific check-in; an older occurrence outside the loaded window may be explicitly unavailable rather than silently treated as completed.
Acknowledge a follow-up separately
Acknowledgment records that somebody saw the follow-up. It does not record a reply for the parent, complete their check-in, prove contact or cancel a message already being delivered. Record a care reply only when you know it, using the separate check-in action.
Plan: agree on the everyday routine
Plan is where the family arranges routines and reviews changes to individual check-ins. Read the title, date, time and proposed change before confirming. Changes reviewed against older task state may be refused if someone else has updated the plan meanwhile.
Dates use the family's configured calendar and time zone. Do not assume a time is in the time zone of the phone you are holding.
Turns: make coverage explicit
Turns shows who is assigned across the week. A reviewed handoff changes the selected day's coverage. A next-week proposal fills uncovered days while preserving existing commitments.
Assigned days describe coverage, not a measurement of effort or a judgment about whether care was provided. Already queued alerts keep their original recipient even if the assignment changes later.
An assignment does not turn on phone notifications. A caregiver chooses notification enrollment separately. Check the workspace's actual processing, permission and verification status; do not rely on a phone alert until the intended route is ready and delivery has been verified.
Week: useful context, with its sources
Week brings recorded activity into an evidence-linked brief and printable visit notes. Open the source facts behind an observation. Counts describe what was recorded; they do not establish adherence, health, safety or caregiving effort.
When configured, Amazon Bedrock selects allowed observations from recorded events. Kin checks the selection and renders text from stored facts. If the model is unavailable or its output is rejected, an evidence-linked deterministic brief remains available. Follow the displayed label rather than assuming every brief was model-generated.
Ask Kin: your words, ready to review
In Ask Kin, speak, type or choose a reply. Example buttons fill a draft. Interpreting that draft proposes a change; a separate review and confirmation saves it through MCP.
Optional browser voice input may send audio to the browser's speech provider. Kin receives the recognized text, not a verified identity of the speaker. Typing remains available. Do not share sensitive details you do not need to record.
Manage your circle and session
Manage circle contains Invite family and Access, where the current role permits them. Invitations require acceptance; a shared link is not a way around sign-in or membership checks.
Use Account & sign out to end the current workspace session. Ending a session does not remove circle membership. Shared devices should not be left signed in for someone else to use your permissions.
The hosted deployment currently has general recurring missed-check-in processing off. Keep checking the shared plan directly. The local story's notification display is a demonstration, not proof of a live phone connection.
