Welcome

Let's set Mazie up for your family

Mazie is a shared text assistant that lives in your family's group thread — keeping track of shared details, reminders, and check-ins, and passing messages between people who aren't free at the same time.

This takes about 10–15 minutes. We'll ask:

Who's in the thread
What you'd like Mazie to help with — and what a win looks like for you
How Mazie should talk, and when
A few things Mazie should know from day one

Tell us what you'd like Mazie to do — no need to share medical or personal health details. We never ask why a family is using Mazie.

Everything here can be changed later just by texting Mazie — "check in earlier," "stop reminding about the garden." Your answers are saved in this browser as you go.

Step A

Who's in the thread?

Everyone texts one number — Mazie — and sees each other's messages. Add each person who'll be part of it.

Family or household name Just for your own reference, e.g. "The Alvarez family"

Consent script to read before adding a number

"I'd like to add you to our family's private Mazie text thread. You'll get check-ins, reminders, and family updates by text — a few messages a day at most. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP any time to leave, or HELP for help. Is it okay to add your number?"

Step B

What should Mazie help with?

Pick any that fit. You can change this whenever you like.

Reminders and schedule — recurring and one-off Keeping shared details straight — who's who, routines, where things are Passing messages between people who aren't free at the same time Daily or weekly check-ins

Something else? In your own words

Step C

What would good look like for you?

This is the most useful part. We keep your answers word-for-word and look back at them together at your first review. It's fine to skip any you're not sure about yet.

What would make this feel like a win a month from now? What would tell you it's not working? How much messaging is too much? Is there anything you'd want to know early if it starts going wrong?

Step D

Tone, pace, and timing

How chatty should Mazie be?

Brief and to the point Somewhere in between Warm and chatty

When is it okay to text?

Earliest Latest

Quiet days Days Mazie shouldn't start a conversation

Check-ins

How often Around what time

If nobody replies

How much should Mazie nudge? Stop nudging after hours

Step E

What helps, and what doesn't

Think about the conversations that go well — and the ones that don't.

Topics people enjoy talking about Topics to steer away from If someone seems upset or confused, what's helpful? …and what isn't? Anything Mazie should never bring up on its own?

Step F

What should Mazie know from day one?

So Mazie starts warm rather than blank. Mazie only states things as fact if the family has told it — anything missing, it will ask about in the thread.

People and how they're related

Standing events and routines

Preferences worth remembering Anything else Mazie should know?

Step G

If something seems off

If someone doesn't answer check-ins for days …let this person know

Anything Mazie should tell one person privately, rather than the whole thread? Who can change these settings?

Mazie is a supportive assistant, not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 911.

Step H

Check-in on how it's going

We suggest a first look two weeks in, then monthly — comparing against what you said a win looks like.

First review After that

Next: payment. You'll check out securely with Stripe. As soon as it goes through, we set up your family's Mazie number, and you'll see it on the next page.
