📖 About the Project
💡 Inspiration
Taking care of people isn't just love. It's logistics.
It's the silent second shift that starts when the laptop closes. The "Coordination Tax" of managing immunizations, camp sign-ups, and the mental math of "who drives whom?"
I forecast and optimize revenue for a living. I have built GTM models that leverage people, data, and processes to optimize enterprises' health. But at home? The ops were running on chaos, shared calendars, several apps, physical bills, shared shopping carts, and friends' group chats. 🏠
I am not alone.
This invisible labor disproportionately falls on women and costs the global economy an estimated $10.8 Trillion annually. 3x the size of the entire global tech industry. Women spend 2x more time on household management, even when both partners work full-time. McKinsey says working mothers are 3x more likely than fathers to own the majority of caregiving.
The mental load isn't just exhausting. It erodes focus. On what matters. Overworking to show up whole.
This isn't a productivity problem. It's a structural one.
Structure? We can redesign. 🔧
I built Abril because the modern family doesn't need another to-do list. We need a Chief Home Officer. An OS that doesn't just list tasks but executes strategy, absorbing the cognitive load so parents can go back to just being parents.

I forecast and optimize revenue for a living. I build dashboards that predict pipeline with 95% accuracy. But at home? The ops were running on chaos and sticky notes. 🏠
The 11 PM school emails I read while nursing. The scramble when my daughter wakes up with a fever and daycare is closed and my 9 AM standup doesn't care.

We built Abril because the modern family doesn't need another to-do list — they need a Chief Home Officer. An OS that doesn't just list tasks but executes strategy, absorbing the cognitive load so parents can go back to just being parents.
That idea — whispered over a sleeping baby at 10 PM — became Abril.
🚀 What it does
Abril is not a chatbot. She is an agentic Chief Home Officer.
She executes strategy. She ingests the chaos of family life — physical mail, fragmented calendars, and health data — and outputs verified, executed plans. We designed Abril as a modular infrastructure of 8 specialized agents, each powered by the specific Gemini capability best suited for the job:
🏛️ The Council — AI agents (Pediatrician, Financial Planner, Educator) debate your high-stakes family decisions and deliver a consensus strategy. → Gemini 3 Pro (Thinking)
🔴 Live Crisis Engine — A hands-free "Red Phone." Speak naturally at 2 AM and get sub-second triage, partner notifications, and a shareable Handover Plan. → Gemini 2.5 Flash (Live API)
📬 The Mailroom — Snap a photo of any crumpled permission slip, camp flyer, or medical form. Dates, costs, and deadlines extracted instantly. → Gemini 3 Flash (Vision)
❤️ Household Pulse — Predicts family burnout by analyzing calendar density, sleep data, and historical fatigue patterns weeks in advance. → Gemini 3 Pro
🗓️ Gap Timeline — Proactively cross-references school calendars with work schedules to surface coverage gaps before they become emergencies. → Gemini 3 Flash (Tool Calling)
🏕️ Camp Planner — Monitors registration portals and waitlists to secure spots, vetted against your schedule and budget. → Gemini 3 Flash (Agentic Search)
💰 Savings & ROI — Audits household spending against 100+ page tax codes to find unclaimed benefits (FSA, Childcare Tax Credits). → Gemini 3 Pro (1M+ Context)
🏥 Health Hub — Ingests medical records and school requirements into a unified vaccination and milestone timeline. → Gemini 3 Flash (Extraction)
🧠 How we built it
Leveraged Google AI Studio, Antigravity for specific tasks, feedback, and QA that wasn't possible in AI studio, Gemini Chatbot to verify copy, modules, functionality, and branding.
Then Gemini 3 Pro for reasoning in The Council and Household Pulse, Flash for The Mailroom, and Flash 2.5 for The Voice that Powers the Crisis Engine via Live API WebSocket.
🧗 Challenges we ran into
The toolchain dance. We prototyped and iterated in Google AI Studio, but solved specific integration challenges in Antigravity — like wiring Gemini into complex agentic flows. Antigravity let us export those solutions as code files we could drop directly into the codebase. The two tools became a feedback loop: ideate in Studio, solve in Antigravity, ship in code.
Synthetic data. Real family data doesn't exist in a training set. We had to generate realistic household scenarios — messy calendars, overlapping schedules, contradictory medical forms — to train and test the model's reasoning. Teaching an AI to parent meant first teaching it what parenting looks like.
Audio latency. A half-second delay feels like an eternity when you're holding a feverish child. The move to Gemini Flash Live API closed that gap — the difference between a tool and a lifeline.
Context across agents. Abril has 8 agents. None of them should ever ask "What is your child's name?" twice. We built a centralized HOUSEHOLD_CONTEXT dynamically injected into every system prompt. She remembers. Like a good Chief of Staff should.
The "agreeable" problem. The Council's advisors kept politely agreeing with each other. Useless. It took careful prompt engineering to make them actually argue. That's what makes the consensus trustworthy.
And the hardest challenge: building this in 30 to 50 min sprints sessions after bedtime.
🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of
It makes sense. Not just to engineers — to parents. The interface speaks the language of the morning rush, not the language of APIs. Users don't need a tutorial. They need to snap a photo, ask a question, or just talk. And it works. That's the UX we were designing for.
The Handover Artifact. A panicked voice-only moment at 2 AM becomes a structured, shareable plan. Chaos becomes a handoff.
What this becomes. This is a prototype. But when it's polished and published — when real families use it to reclaim 40+ hours a month, catch a burnout week before it hits, or never miss a tax credit again — that's not an app. That's infrastructure for the invisible economy. And that's what we're building toward.
The side projects we build at night are love letters to the parts of us the résumé never sees. 💌
📚 What we learned
Thinking Tokens change everything.* Gemini 3 Pro's thinking mode didn't just improve answers — it changed the quality of reasoning. The model stopped being agreeable and started being thoughtful. For parenting decisions, where there's rarely one right answer, that shift is everything.
Speed is empathy. Every millisecond matters. Not because parents are impatient — because they're overwhelmed. A tool that works during the chaos, not after it, is fundamentally different. Gemini 3 Flash made that possible.
AI can hold space. The most surprising lesson: AI doesn't have to be cold to be useful. When the Crisis Engine responds calmly at 2 AM, when The Council surfaces a perspective you hadn't considered — it feels like someone showed up. That's not a feature. That's care.
🔮 What's next for Abril
Polish.* This is a prototype born in 30-minute sprints. The bones are strong. Now it's time to refine the edges — smoother flows, tighter prompts, a UI that feels like a deep breath, not a dashboard.
Launch with family and friends. Before Abril meets the world, she meets my household. My friends' households. Real families, real chaos, real feedback. The best infrastructure is built by the people who need it most.
Go deeper. Integrate real calendar and email APIs so Abril doesn't just identify — she executes. Book the camp. Respond to the school email. Pay the bill. Direct agentic action.
Go wider. Morning Briefing on Google Nest Hub — the dashboard meets you at the kitchen counter. Pixel Watch biometrics to detect stress before burnout hits. A community layer where parents share anonymized playbooks — because your survival hack should help every caregiver in your zip code.
Community — Caregivers sharing anonymized playbooks. Your survival hack for camp registration helps every parent in your zip code.
Care is work. It's time it had a Chief Officer. 🌍
