Pre-launch — recruiting a small design-partner cohort of families for autumn 2026.

Parenting decision support

The parenting app that thinks with you — in your own AI, or ours.

Parenza keeps a structured record of your family, puts a panel of specialist agents to work on it — feeding, sleep, medical, education, money — and returns one synthesized answer instead of five conflicting ones.

Request early access See how it works

A tracker records what happened. Parenza tells you what to do about it — and shows its reasoning.

TL;DR

  • Night wakings are up on the last three days, but total intake is flat — this looks like the 4-month change, not underfeeding.
  • Hold the current routine for three more nights before changing anything. One change at a time, or you won't know what worked.

Recommended

  1. 1. Keep the bedtime window as it is until Friday.
  2. 2. Log the wakings — we'll compare against this week.
  3. 3. Six-week check is due: bring the growth entries with you.

Illustrative example of a synthesized brief — not a real family's data.

The advice isn't scarce. The synthesis is.

You can find an answer to any parenting question in ten seconds. What you can't find is the answer that accounts for your child, your history, and the four other decisions it interacts with.

Advice written for the average child

Guidance assumes a baby you don't have: a different age, a different weight curve, a different feeding history. You do the translation yourself, at 3am.

Two sources, opposite answers

Neither one knows what you tried last week, what your health visitor said, or how the last three nights actually went — so neither can tell you which answer applies to you.

Nothing joins up

Feeding sits in one app, sleep in another, medical notes in a folder, nursery and school decisions in your head. The decisions that matter cut across all four.

Your own record goes nowhere

Months of logging turn into charts you scroll past, instead of context that makes the next answer better.

How it works

Four steps, and only the first one is work.

  1. Your family record builds itself

    Log feeds, sleep, nappies, growth and health as they happen — or build your own routine, with the fields it actually needs. Every entry lands in a structured record alongside your family profile, household facts, principles and a decision log — a knowledge base, not a chart.

  2. Specialists reason over it

    A panel of agents with defined remits — feeding, sleep, medical, psychology, education, and more — reads your actual context before it answers, and works from established guidance rather than opinion.

  3. A Chief of Staff synthesizes

    One layer sits above the panel: it routes the question, reconciles the specialists who disagree, and returns a short answer with recommended actions, who informed it, and what to log as a decision.

  4. Use it wherever you think

    Open the Parenza app, or connect Parenza to the AI you already use. Over MCP, your Claude or ChatGPT can read your family's context and put the same questions to the same panel.

The panel

Ten specialists and one editor.

Each specialist has a written remit, a set of sources it works from, and a stated limit — what it won't do, and when it should hand you to a professional. The Chief of Staff decides who to ask, reconciles them when they disagree, and gives you one answer.

  • Feeding

    Breast and formula, latch and supply, weaning timing, reflux versus normal posseting. NHS-aligned, and explicit about when to escalate.

  • Sleep

    Safe sleep first — the Lullaby Trust checklist, age-appropriate expectations, and one change at a time rather than five stacked at once.

  • Medical

    Urgency triage, the vaccination schedule, home versus GP. It does not diagnose or prescribe; it tells you which tier a symptom sits in and what to do next.

  • Psychology

    Perinatal and infant mental health — what's normal adjustment, what's a signal to get help, and the referral route. Not a therapist, and clear about it.

  • Education planning

    Long-horizon learning staged by age, with no admissions promises and no flashcards in infancy.

  • Cognitive skills

    Reasoning, structured thinking and speaking as their own thread, separate from school curriculum and sport — gated to what's developmentally appropriate.

  • Sports & enrichment

    Age-appropriate movement and activity, exposure before specialization, and a refusal when the training is ahead of the child.

  • Wealth & estate planning

    Frameworks and questions — education funding, JISA and pension concepts, wills and guardianship prompts. Not regulated financial advice, and it flags when you need a professional.

  • Social capital

    Schools, networks and cultural navigation for a family with roots in more than one country — without turning childhood into a status project.

  • Local concierge

    The admin nobody warns you about: registering a birth, registering with a GP, nursery waitlist timing, council services.

  • Chief of Staff

    Routes the question, reads your family context first, and returns the synthesis: what to do, who informed it, and what to record as a decision.

Specialists summarize established guidance — NHS, NICE and the Lullaby Trust for UK families, with other national guidance noted where it differs. They are not clinicians, and they say so when a question needs one.

Inside the app

Logging is the input, not the point.

Two surfaces do the work. Routines capture what happened, one thumb at a time. The knowledge base holds everything that doesn't fit in a log — who's in the family, how you've decided to do things, and why.

One thumb, in the dark

Feeds, sleep, nappies, pumping, growth and health entries, each with the fields that routine actually needs — bottle type and volume, duration, weight and length. Every row shows what was last recorded, because that's the question you're asking at 3am.

The six built for a newborn are a starting point, not the ceiling. Routines come in three shapes — a moment, a timed stretch, a to-do — and you build your own on top of them, which is how a shopping list ends up in the same record as a growth chart.

The context a tracker throws away

Your family profile, a living status snapshot, the principles you've agreed on as parents, milestone references, and a decision log that records what you chose and why. Documents sit in folders, and can stay in draft while you work them out.

This is what the panel reads before it answers — which is the difference between advice for a baby and advice for yours.

Designed for 3am

The log has to survive the night it describes.

A record only helps if it gets written, and it gets written one-handed, in the dark, by someone who has not slept. Most of what we build goes into removing taps, typing and arithmetic from that moment.

  • Started, or ended

    A feed you are starting runs a timer. A feed that has just finished doesn't need one: tap Ended and Parenza works the start time backwards from how long your feeds actually run. One tap, no arithmetic at 3am.

  • The form knows what it is asking

    Amount appears for a bottle and not for a breastfeed. Side appears for a breastfeed and not for a bottle. Colour appears once a nappy is dirty. You see the fields that apply and nothing else.

  • Time you didn't have to type

    Today defaults to now, yesterday is one tap, and an overnight sleep can cross midnight without a fight. If two entries overlap, the app trims them rather than rejecting your log.

  • A week you can see the shape of

    Day, week, month and agenda views over the same entries. Drag one to correct a time you logged late. Stats over a day, a week or a month put totals and averages next to the period before.

  • Findable in either language

    Search spans routines, entries and documents, indexed both for English word forms and for exact tokens — so a note written in Russian inside an otherwise English record still comes back.

  • Built to be your child's, not your account's

    The app carries your child's name, photo and live age — 6w 3d — at the top of every screen. The photo is cropped and shrunk in your own browser before it is sent, which removes the GPS coordinates a phone photo carries.

The app speaks English, Russian, German, Spanish and French, in full — which matters when the two people doing the nights don't share a first language, and when the guidance you're weighing comes from two countries at once.

Screens are rendered from the product's real structure. We don't publish screenshots of a family's record.

In your own AI

Give the assistant you already use a permanent briefing on your family.

Most people who'd get value from Parenza already have an AI assistant open all day. Rather than asking you to move, Parenza plugs into it. Ask Claude or ChatGPT a question about your child and it can consult your family's actual record — and the same specialist panel — before it answers.

It's a connection, not another app
You paste one endpoint into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code. From then on, that assistant can ask Parenza about your family — the same way it reads a file you've shared with it.
Your assistant stops guessing
Instead of answering from the average case, it can look up when your child last fed, how the past week of sleep went, and what you already decided and why.
You control the connection
You choose whether to connect at all, and you can disconnect. Nothing leaves Parenza until your assistant asks for it — and only the data that answers the question.

The mechanism is MCP — an open standard for connecting an AI assistant to a source of data. You don't need to know that to use it: you copy an address, and your assistant handles the rest. What it means for your data is spelled out on the Trust & Security page.

What you can then ask, anywhere

  • “How much did she actually take over the last 24 hours?”
  • “We're travelling next week — what changes about the routine?”
  • “What did we decide about the vitamin D dose, and why?”
  • “Summarize the last two weeks for the six-week check.”

Trust

This is your child's health record. We write about it that way.

Children's health data, treated as such

Your family's record is stored per-family and scoped to your account. It is not sold, and it is not used to advertise to you.

In progress, stated plainly

We are working through a formal Data Protection Impact Assessment and ICO registration before we onboard families beyond the design-partner cohort. We are not claiming certifications we don't hold.

You can see the mechanism

When you connect your own AI assistant, we explain exactly what leaves Parenza and when — because a novel mechanism deserves more than a paragraph in a policy.

Parenza started as a private system for our own first child: routines logged every night, guidance checked against sources rather than forums, and a decision log recording what we chose and why. It ran for months before it was a product.

Three habits from the day job ended up shaping it. Working with AI constantly, which is why Parenza plugs into the assistant you already use instead of demanding you move. Sitting through SOC 2, ISO 27001 and DORA audits in regulated businesses, which is why the trust page publishes control statuses instead of badges. And a professional reflex to validate a claim before acting on it — which is the whole reason specialists here cite what they're working from and say when a question needs a clinician.

Early access

Join the design-partner cohort.

Parenza is pre-launch. We're taking on a small number of families we can work with closely — the kind who will tell us when the synthesis is wrong. Tell us about yours.

  • A small cohort, not a launch list

    We are onboarding a handful of families we can work with directly. If that isn't a fit right now, say so in the form and we'll keep you for general access instead.

  • You shape the panel

    Design partners tell us which specialists matter, where the synthesis is wrong, and what a useful daily brief actually looks like.

  • Honest about the stage

    Pre-launch. No billing, no public signup, and no promises about a date we haven't earned.

We'll reply personally. No billing, no account created, and we don't add you to a marketing list.
