What it does

Your home agent plans with you. Sprout makes it land for the kid.

The home agent can reason, summarize, and draft. Sprout owns the kid-facing surface, the family economy, and the parent checkpoints that make the plan safe to deliver.

1
Read the family state

Start with safe reads: kids, open tasks, gems, rewards, skills, heartbeats, and what is already moving.

2
Turn a plan into a kid-facing action

Wrap a parent idea into a task, skill, activity, or canvas so the kid sees one clear next step.

3
Keep the parent in control

Confirm consequential actions, review completions, approve screen-time requests, and keep the record explainable.

Example loops

The first loops should feel ordinary, not magical.

The point is not to impress the terminal. The point is to make tomorrow morning, homework, or allowance easier for the family.

Parent plan becomes kid action.

The home agent drafts. Sprout turns it into the activity, task, or heartbeat the kid can see.

01
Morning brief

Your home agent reads tomorrow's family context and creates a short kid-facing checklist with parent-approved gems.

02
Homework cockpit

Turn a parent note into a focused practice task, then review completion without nagging.

03
Reading buddy

Create a canvas-backed reading activity that listens, highlights, and celebrates progress.

04
Allowance ledger

Review chores, approve completions, adjust gems when appropriate, and keep the record explainable.

Honest scope

Powerful enough to be useful. Bounded enough to trust.

The alpha is built around safe reads, deliberate delivery, and clear parent approval for actions that change a kid's world.

Ready now

Family overview, skills, tasks, gems, rewards, screen-time requests, and canvas-backed activities through MCP.

Alpha guardrails

OAuth access, scoped tools, confirmation thresholds, and parent-visible delivery for kid-facing changes.

FAQ

A few things people ask first.

Short answers for the share link. The docs go deeper once someone is ready to build.

Is this an API key setup?

No. The MCP server uses OAuth so access can be granted, reviewed, and revoked without pasting a long-lived secret into a config file.

Does the kid talk to my coding agent?

No. The home agent helps the parent plan. Sprout is the kid-facing surface that delivers the approved heartbeat, task, or activity.

Can it create things for kids?

Yes, with the right flow. A canvas or skill is inert until it is delivered as a task or recurring run that the kid can see.

Who should try this now?

Families and builders already comfortable with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, v0, or MCP clients, especially if they want AI help that ends in a family action.

Start with a read-only check, then build the first loop that turns a parent plan into something your kid can do.
