  "summary": "CareTribe is an AI agent that coordinates practical help — school pickups, meals, lifts, errands — for people going through a hard season. It asks your friends and family, chases the replies and schedules the help, so you don’t have to.",
  "status": {
    "stage": "waitlist",
    "description": "CareTribe is pre-launch. The mobile app is in development and not yet available to download. People can join the waitlist to be told when it opens.",

  },
  "problem": "When someone is going through a hard season — illness, a new baby, caring for a parent, bereavement — friends and family genuinely want to help. What breaks down is the coordination: someone has to ask, keep track of who said yes, chase the people who did not reply, and rearrange it all when plans change. That job almost always lands on the person with the least energy for it.",
  "solution": "CareTribe is an AI agent that takes over the coordination. You tell it what you need in plain language. It contacts people in your circle individually, asks them for specific, time-boxed tasks, follows up on non-replies, confirms who is doing what, and shows you a single calm view of the week.",
  "audience": [
    "People managing a serious illness or a recent diagnosis, for themselves or someone close to them",
    "New and expecting parents in the first months after a baby arrives",
    "Adult children coordinating care for an ageing parent",
    "Anyone in an acute hard season — bereavement, injury, a family crisis — who has willing people around them but no capacity to organise them"

    "The agent does the asking. Meal-train and rota tools give you a schedule to fill in yourself; CareTribe contacts people and fills it in for you.",
    "Requests go to individuals, not a group. One named person asked for one specific thing is far more likely to say yes than a group message everyone assumes someone else will pick up.",
    "Privacy is structural, not a setting. Helpers are only ever told the task.",
    "It chases. The follow-up — the part that quietly costs the most energy — is the agent’s job."
