heyneighbor · x · 2026-10-01
Responding to @seyitaylor's question about why there are no agents for busy moms tracking school schedules, games, dinner reservations and flights, @heyneighbor notes that every parent they know already uses agents for this — questioning whether a purpose-built app is even needed. The exchange highlights where personal agents are actually landing: generic tools already satisfy family-logistics needs, casting doubt on the moat for vertical 'parenting assistant' apps.
