FamilyClock

Crisis-to-Action Translator

Confusing notice in. Safe next step out.

FamilyClock helps teen family interpreters turn stressful notices into evidence-backed action, without asking them to make adult decisions.

For the teen in a limited-English household who gets handed the school, hospital, housing, or benefit notice tonight.

The demo moment

A notice arrives tonight. The teen should not become the case manager.

FamilyClock gives the teen a safer role: organize the facts, reveal the deadline, preserve source evidence, and hand serious decisions to an adult or professional.

What comes out

A dashboard, not another chat bubble.

Decision impact

Before vs after FamilyClock.

Before

A teen guesses what a confusing notice means and may carry an adult-level decision alone — unsure of the deadline, the risk, or when to involve an adult.

After

The teen sees the plain meaning, the deadline with its source line, one safe first step, what they can safely do, and exactly when an adult or professional must take over.

Why AI is needed — not just search

Messy language becomes structured, grounded action.

Search finds pages. FAQs answer known questions. FamilyClock handles messy, unstructured notices: it extracts hidden deadlines, classifies risk, grounds serious claims in source sentences, and separates teen-safe tasks from adult and professional decisions.

Infer: understand messy notices, OCR text, and teen-written situations.

Ground: copy supporting source sentences instead of inventing evidence.

Classify: identify deadlines, consequences, and high-stakes categories.

Separate: assign teen-safe, adult-only, and professional actions.

Responsibility-aware risk

Risk changes who should take over.

The color is not a final legal, medical, or benefits decision. It controls how strongly FamilyClock routes the issue toward adult or professional help.

Safety promise

The model organizes the issue. It does not decide the family’s rights, treatment, eligibility, or safety response.

  • High-risk cases trigger adult or professional handoff.
  • Serious interpretations show evidence from the original notice.
  • Every result asks the family to verify with the original source.
  • Files are not saved to a permanent account. If you use OCR, the selected file is temporarily sent for text extraction, so use fictional or redacted notices only. Remove full names, addresses, ID numbers, and private medical details first.
A safety shield protecting a verified notice

Built for real family paperwork

One workflow across six notice categories.

The category helps FamilyClock apply stronger handoff rules when the subject may affect care, housing, legal responsibilities, or essential support.

Built for the handoff

From file to safe action in one guided flow.

Add the notice file, review the transcription, build the dashboard, and export a packet for the adult or professional taking over.
