Open Hours

Cohorts

Get your family's week out of your head

In four small workshops, we help you set up AI for your family calendar, the messages you write all the time, and your to-dos. You build it in your own accounts, so it keeps working after we're done.

Catey, Allie, and Katie: three New York parents who run these systems at home. Two of us at every session.

Four weeks, four working systems

  1. Week 1 · Family OS Give AI the household context you choose to share, so it can give you more useful, personalized help.
  2. Week 2 · Calendar Organize your calendars and connect them to AI where supported, to review what is coming up.
  3. Week 3 · Writing Teach AI your voice and draft the messages you write all the time.
  4. Week 4 · To-dos Build one simple shared Google Doc to capture, organize, and review family tasks.

Designed for parents who are new to AI or have experimented with it and want help making it useful in everyday family life.

Four weeks. Four useful systems. Your real accounts, your real family, and plenty of hands-on help. In a small Open Hours cohort, we'll help you give AI the context it needs, make sense of your family calendar, draft messages in your own voice, and build a simple household to-do system. You'll build alongside us, so you can keep using and improving it after the workshops end.

"We set up a family calendar last weekend thanks to the Open Hours seminar and Allie, Katie, Catey's tips and it is a game changer."

From handbooks to a plan

The Morgans' Family OS, given two parent handbooks: 98 pages of summer camp and ballet school.

  1. 01 · The request

    I shared the parent handbooks for summer camp next summer and for Ellie's ballet class with you. Can you review and pull out the relevant info/dates/etc here? Also include a list of things I need to buy, esp for Ellie's ballet class where the doc is super long and confusing. Ask me any clarifying questions

  2. 02 · It checks what applies

    The AI asks: Which ballet campus does Ellie attend? Drop-off rules, dressing rooms, absence reporting and make-up rules differ. First option: Northwest, Main Building or Meridian Commons Studios.

    1 Northwest
    Main Building or Meridian Commons Studios on Meridian Ave.

    Actual screenshot, cropped. It also asked about ballet level, program, and camp weeks.

  3. 03 · What came back

    Theo · Food arrangements

    Call camp to review lunch, snacks and ice cream, and tell Theo's Group Leader about his allergy. Other menu items are not assumed safe.

    Ellie · Ballet shopping

    Level 1A school year: black leotard, skin-tone tights and matching slippers. Ask the school about the baby blue alignment belt before buying it.

  4. 04 · Nothing happens without you

    It flagged the forms and purchases, added nothing to the calendar, and said which dates it wasn't sure about. The parents decide what happens next.

The Morgans are made up for this demo. The handbooks are based on real examples. The request and the answers are real.

Dates and format

Pick the track that fits your week

Both tracks follow the same curriculum in the same weeks, with six to eight people and two of us in each. You can switch for a particular week when there's space. The next cohort enrolls in January, and the dates and times are announced when registration opens.

In person

Weekly, in New York

Four 90-minute workshops, one a week, in person in New York. Address by email once you register. Bring your laptop.

Virtual

Weekly, on a call

Four 90-minute workshops, one a week, screens shared. The call link comes by email once you register.

What's included in both tracks

  • Pre-work to get you ready. A privacy checklist, simple setup instructions, and a few starter prompts so you can hit the ground running.
  • Guides, prompts & resources. Everything you need to build your Family OS and keep using and improving your systems long after the cohort ends.
  • Optional Office Hours. A virtual setup session for help getting set up before the first workshop, and a shared virtual session between workshops for questions, troubleshooting, and extra support. You can also email us anytime.
  • Session recordings. Miss a week? Catch up with the recording and pick up where you left off.
  • A private WhatsApp group. A place to ask questions, share what you're building, and connect with us and your fellow participants throughout the cohort.

Good to know. Features depend on platform, subscriptions and outside apps. Advanced setups are assessed individually; review AI output before relying on it.

Questions

We've got answers

Do I need to know how to use AI already?
Not at all. This cohort is for parents who are new to AI or have started experimenting but want help making it useful in everyday family life. We'll send simple pre-work to get you set up before the first workshop, and you'll have hands-on help along the way.
What if I can't make every session?
We encourage you to attend all four workshops so you can build alongside us, but we know life happens. Every session will be recorded, and you'll have access to the prompts, guides, and resources to catch up. You can also join Office Hours if you need help getting back on track.
What if neither workshop time works for me?
Please email us! We'd love to know what time would work better for you. If there's enough interest in another time, we'll explore adding another option.
Can I switch between the virtual and in-person tracks?
Yes. You'll choose your primary track when you enroll, but if you need to switch for a particular week, we'll do our best to accommodate you based on available space. Both tracks follow the same curriculum.
How much time should I plan to commit?
Plan on one 90-minute workshop per week for four weeks, plus approximately 30 to 60 minutes of work between sessions. Some calendar setups may take a little longer. We also offer optional virtual Office Hours for extra help, beginning with a setup session before the first workshop.
What do I need to participate?
You'll need a laptop and access to your own AI account. We'll send a privacy checklist, setup instructions, and a few starter prompts before the program begins, along with any specific tool or subscription requirements. You'll work in your own accounts and choose what household information you're comfortable sharing.
Will you build my systems for me?
We'll build them together! This is a hands-on program, not a done-for-you service. We'll guide you through each setup, help you troubleshoot, and provide the prompts and templates you need. You'll do the building in your own accounts so you know how everything works and can keep using and improving your systems after the cohort ends.
