Domus Next Inc. today announced the launch of Nori, the world’s first Family AI built as an AI-native family infrastructure for modern family life. Rather than operating as an individual assistant, Nori functions as a shared family system — acting as a central hub for family coordination, connecting schedules, tasks, meals, and daily household coordination across family members and devices.
The Challenge: Family Life Remains a Fragmented System
A recent Life360 survey of U.S. parents found that managing family schedules and logistics takes an average of 17 hours per week — almost like holding a part-time job just for planning. Most productivity tools focus on individuals, leaving parents to switch between multiple apps, emails, calendars, and message threads to keep everyone on track. The result is decision fatigue, missed details, and friction at home.
Family coordination is a system-level problem, not just shared access. Calendars, to-dos, meals, and routines are interconnected, yet most apps treat them as isolated actions. Families still spend countless hours manually connecting information across tools — until now.
The Solution: A Family Brain, Not Just an Assistant
“Nori is built to take the mental load off families,” said Isaac Long, founder of Nori. “We wanted to create a shared intelligence that understands family life over time. Nori doesn’t just track tasks — it learns routines, adapts to patterns, and keeps the household running smoothly.”
Designed from the ground up as a system-level AI, Nori integrates core family functions — calendars, tasks, shopping lists, recipes, meal planning, and responsibilities — into a single shared platform. It maintains family context across members and devices, proactively surfaces relevant actions, and learns as routines evolve.
Nori works naturally with everyday interactions. Families can speak to the AI, snap photos of school notices or event posters, or forward important emails. Nori automatically captures the information, updates calendars, generates checklists, and even suggests meals based on what’s in the fridge. Accessible on phones and computers, Nori serves as the AI Family Hub, bringing intelligence to the center of home life.
How Nori Helps Families Every Day
- Voice to schedule: Add events, tasks, or shopping lists instantly using natural voice commands.
- Photo capture for events: Snap a picture of a school flyer or event poster, and Nori extracts the details automatically.
- Magic email import: Forward semester calendars or important emails, and dates are added without manual entry.
- Family memory: Tell Nori something once, and when users forget, just ask — Nori remembers it for the whole family.
- AI meal planning: Take a photo of the fridge, get recipe suggestions considering allergies and preferences, and automatically generate shopping lists.
- Daily task summaries: Ask what’s on the agenda today, and Nori gives a clear overview of tasks and events.
- General advice and recommendations: Ask practical questions — from pet emergencies to local activities — and receive instant guidance.
- Trip and event planning: Plan vacations, search for concerts or local events, and import dates directly into the calendar.
Designed for Modern Family Life
Nori fits seamlessly into the routines of busy households:
- Dual-income families: Shared schedules, tasks, and reminders reduce missed activities and constant back-and-forth.
- Families with school-aged children: Automatic reminders and task assignments keep everyone on track.
- Family planners and caregivers: Plans, checklists, and shopping lists are generated automatically, easing mental load.
- Remote working families and digital nomads: Coordinate flexible schedules and multiple time zones seamlessly.
- Smart home and lifestyle enthusiasts: Proactive suggestions across devices simplify daily routines.
- Everyday “home CEO”: Low learning curve; one sentence or simple action is often enough to get things done.
A New Chapter for Family AI
With its launch, Nori represents a new category: AI-native family infrastructure. While most AI tools focus on individual productivity, Nori addresses family life as a shared, system-level problem. During just two months of internal testing, Nori has already helped more than 100,000 families simplify schedules, plan meals, and manage household tasks — and has received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Nori positions itself as the first disruptive Family AI, bringing shared AI to the center of home life.
Families can now experience what a true Family AI can bring to daily living — reducing stress, simplifying routines, and keeping everyone aligned. Nori is available for download on the web, iOS, and Android today. Give it a try and see how AI can transform a family’s everyday coordination. The company is also preparing a hardware release scheduled for Q2 2026 — a single device designed to serve as an AI Family Hub, making it easy for every member of the household to access Nori.
