AI assistants for real families

One focused AI agent per job.
Set up on accounts you own.

I built an AI assistant for my own family — it finds my son's scholarships, tracks my daughter's college search, and runs every morning before anyone's awake. Now I set up the same focused agents for other families and professionals. No subscription lock-in. No data on my systems. You get the keys.

Where it started: PEPPER. The original assistant I built for my own household — the one that runs our family's mornings. PEPPER isn't for sale; it's the proving ground. Every spice above is a focused, client-ownable version of something PEPPER already does every day in my house.
Saffron · available now

Scholarship season is a part-time job nobody has time for.

Thousands of scholarships across hundreds of sites, each with its own deadline, essay, and requirements. Most families find a handful late, miss deadlines, and leave real money on the table. Saffron is the fix — configured for your student, built on Claude, running on your own accounts.

Daily scholarship search

New matches — filtered to your student's grades, activities, intended major, and school — land in a simple board you both check from your phones.

Deadline tracking

Nothing slips. Every live opportunity has its deadline, requirements, and status in one place.

Application drafting help

First drafts of essays in your student's voice, ready for them to make their own. They do the work; the system removes the busywork.

College search mode

For juniors: schools matched to your student's goals, ranked reach/target/safety, with visit planning and requirement tracking for the whole cycle.

Parent visibility

You see everything without nagging anyone. One glance tells you where things stand.

You own all of it

Everything runs on your accounts, in your student's name. Your family's information never touches mine.

Why me

I built this for my own kids first.

I'm a 25-year operations executive — and a dad. I built this system for my own family: my son's scholarship pipeline for his freshman year, and my daughter's college search for her recruiting cycle. It runs every day in my house. I'm not selling software; I'm setting up the working system I trust with my own kids, configured for yours.

How it works

Four steps, about a week.

1

Free 30-minute call

Your goals and what you're juggling. No obligation.

2

Setup week

I build and configure the assistant on your accounts. You own everything from day one.

3

Handoff session

I walk you through it — takes about an hour. Then it's running.

4

Optional monthly check-in

I keep it tuned, fix anything, and adjust as your needs shift through the year.

What Saffron costs

Priced like a setup, not a subscription.

Setup (one-time)$1,250
Optional care plan$75/mo
AI usage (your own account)$5–15/mo
Founding-client rate: the first two families get setup at $950 in exchange for honest feedback and a testimonial.

No expensive subscription required — the assistant runs on your own Claude account for a few dollars a month. Cayenne and Mélange pricing announced at launch.

Straight talk
