Orbits

What it does

The worst assistant is the one that has to be told what to do and how to do it. Orbits doesn't wait to be asked — it runs your household end-to-end, doing the work proactively: booking the appointment, placing the order, calling the restaurant, sending the text, and registering for camp before space fills up. All while coordinating across all the members of your family, and the ones outside the home that help it run (like the babysitter, or the plumber). It handles the scheduling, errands, meals, chores, and family logistics that quietly eat the dozens of hours parents and busy families don't have to spare — powered by a persistent, structured model of each household that learns what makes your family yours. And you interact with Bit, the assistant behind Orbits, in all the ways your family already works: over email, on your calendar, and right in the family group chat in iMessage.
