Why We Built Trelis

• The Babysitter & Grandparent Problem

  We needed babysitters to know the schedule so they could drive the kids to events, and we needed to assign drivers every week so we knew who was driving. Grandparents wanted to know when and where the games and performances were. But giving them full access to our calendars meant flooding them with our doctor appointments, personal errands, and work calls—not to mention downloading app after app for every travel sports team. We built Trelis so Grandma and Grandpa can see the soccer games, hockey tournaments, and dance recitals—and absolutely nothing else. No logins, no clutter, just the moments that matter.
• Sadie’s Tournaments

  Anyone who has spent a weekend in a hotel waiting for a bracket schedule update knows the drill. After the seeding rounds, you need to know who you play next. We wanted an assistant that could read the tournament schedule, track field and rink moves, and keep everyone on the same page without having to refresh a webpage every 15 minutes.
• The Drive-Time Math

  With three kids, a calendar time is only half the battle. If Zach has practice at 5:30 PM across town and it starts pouring rain, when do you actually need to leave the driveway? Trelis doesn’t just show an event block—it checks the route, factors in the rain buffer, verifies who is driving, and tells you: “Depart by 4:15 PM.” When we were lucky enough to carpool with another family or two, we wanted to be able to calculate that multi-stop pickup and drop-off route and schedule automatically.
• Smart Driver Assignment

  When two kids have practice at the exact same time, normal calendars sound an alarm and give you anxiety. Trelis simply asks who is driving who, assigns Dad to hockey and Mom to soccer, and clears the conflict.

An Assistant That Handles Everything Else

• In the Kitchen

  I am an avid cook. I want to keep my recipes in one place and integrate them directly with my grocery shopping list. Snap a picture of your refrigerator contents, and Trelis recommends what to make.
• For the Team

  Ask it for a restaurant recommendation—like where to find a restaurant for the entire team after a game for 30 people on short notice.
• On the Road

  We also created a presence system not just for your family, but for friends, teammates, and others. Create a presence circle for as little as an hour so you can caravan together to an away tournament, or get an alert the moment your kid arrives at practice, home, school, or wherever you choose.
• Everyday Intelligence

  Snap a picture of a unique light bulb and it identifies the exact replacement. Ask it about repairing your car, researching a competitor, drafting a Word document, building an Excel spreadsheet, or creating a PowerPoint deck. It monitors websites for price drops and sales. Plus it remembers. Everything. And there is no need to understand how to write an AI prompt. Just use your own language.
