Now it turns out it&#8217;s funding an AI-powered personal assistant app for parents called Milo, Insider reports, which is part of a wave of &#8220;parent tech&#8221; and \u2014 if you think about it \u2014 could maybe save a few marriages, since the burden of child management still largely falls on the shoulders of women. Milo, built on GPT-4, enables parents to dump anything from screenshots to voice memos into the platform and have AI process this information into actionable text reminders, calendar invites and other alerts. Currently it&#8217;s in beta mode. &#8220;I know what it feels like to be a parent that has forgotten pajama day, pizza day, that disappointment,&#8221; Milo CEO Avni Patel Thompson told Insider.

Her funding was getting depleted last summerand she had to lay off employees. Finally, as a last ditch effort, she reached out to Altman, who served as Y Combinator president previously. According to Insider,\u00a0Altman hooked up Milo with more funding and access to OpenAI&#8217;s technology. &#8220;You never hear someone talk about the power of these models to help families,&#8221; OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap to&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/the-byte\/openai-is-funding-an-app-for-parents-to-manage-kids-lives\">OpenAI Is Funding an App for Parents to Manage Kids&#039; Lives<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Parenting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says\u00a0artificial intelligence has the potential to automate tedious tasks and free people to do more meaningful work, but so far it&#8217;s mainly been generating&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[606,300,114,191,979,3610,4150,135,1471,12,295],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4474"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4474\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
