A quiet assistant for the admin of it

OurPath uses AI in a deliberately small way. It suggests calmer wording before a heated message sends, and it takes some of the typing out of logging costs and dates. It does not make decisions, does not advise you, and does not put itself between you and your co-parent.

Where the AI actually is #

Tone assist, on send. Write something in the heat of the moment and OurPath offers the same message with the heat taken out. Three choices: use the suggestion, edit it, or send yours anyway. It never blocks you, and your co-parent is never told anything was flagged.

Turning a message into a diary entry. "Can we move Thursday to Friday this week?" becomes a swap request you confirm with a tap, rather than something you both forget by Wednesday.

Receipts into expenses. Photograph the receipt, and the amount, date and merchant are filled in for you. You check them before anything is logged.

Finding things in your own record. "When did we agree to change the Wednesday pickup?" searches your own history and shows you the entry. It doesn't summarise or interpret — it points at the record and lets you read it.

Where the AI deliberately isn't #

It doesn't decide anything. Not who's right, not what's fair, not what a court would do. Where a judgement is needed, that's you, your mediator, or your solicitor.

It doesn't give legal advice. Ask it what a consent order is and it will tell you. Ask it whether you need one and it will tell you to ask a solicitor, because that's the honest answer.

It doesn't sit between you. You message your co-parent. Not a bot, not a mediator persona, not an AI that rewrites what you said without you seeing it.

It never scores either of you. There's no tone rating, no conflict score, no "your co-parent has been flagged three times this month". Turning behaviour into a metric would turn it into a weapon, which is the opposite of the point.

What it does with your data #

Message drafts sent for tone checking are not stored — not by us, not for training. The only thing recorded is that the sender's own message was flagged, visible to the sender and nobody else.

We never use message content or anything about your children for analytics. Security and your data →

When it's not working #

If the tone service is slow or down, your message sends normally. Every AI feature in OurPath fails open. None of them is load-bearing, and none of them can stop you using the app.
