Run your family's routines, tasks and rewards by chatting with your AI assistant.

  • Start a routine and check off each step as you go, or undo a step done by mistake
  • Approve a finished routine as a parent
  • Add, move and complete tasks on the family task board, with comments
  • Check reward points and request a reward
  • Create or edit routine templates: steps, schedule and points

Permissions and your data

See how we handle data in our Privacy Policy.

  • You sign in on Houtine's own page (OAuth). The assistant never sees your password.

  • The assistant acts as you, the parent who connected it, and can see and change what you can in the Houtine app.

  • Only what a request needs is sent to the assistant, such as routine names, tasks, people's first names and points. Houtine doesn't receive your chat conversations.

  • The assistant can create, change and complete things for you. Actions that delete something are marked as destructive, so your assistant can ask you to confirm them first.

  • Disconnect at any time from the assistant's connector settings.
