What Lumi sees

Why Alex and Maya clash

Alex’s strong working memory means multi-step instructions feel natural and obvious. Maya’s very low working memory means those same instructions evaporate within seconds. This creates a cycle: Alex repeats, Maya shuts down, both get frustrated.

Neither is failing. They’re just wired differently.

Starting play

Give one instruction at a time. Use visual cues instead of verbal reminders. Place a photo checklist at Maya’s eye level — let the environment hold the information so her working memory doesn’t have to.

Why we built it

Three truths, from a hundred kitchens.

From our interviews with parents of kids with ADHD, autism, and executive function (EF) differences.

“It was always: you’re doing the right things — just try this, or environmental things, or whatever it is. Honestly, I don’t remember if we stopped because it wasn’t working or just because it was hard to keep the system in place.”
— Dad of a 5-year-old

How it works

From hard moments on repeat to a team in sync.

01

It starts with dynamics, not just individuals.

Lumi models how your kid is wired and how each adult is wired — because the friction lives between the two, not inside either one.

Strategies are the roadmap. Recipes, checklists, and check-ins are the tools to help your family get there — automatically adapting based on what actually works.

Maya’s Morning Launch

For Maya · runs from her checklist · tuned 3 times since day one

Favorite

Maya can do every task on this list — her mornings fail at the hand-offs between them. So each step ends by cueing the next one, and the checklist holds the authority, so you’re not the one issuing orders at 6:50 AM.

The method

  1. Stage the launch at bedtimeAdded · day 8

    What this does

    Moves every morning decision to a low-stakes hour — outfit on the chair, backpack zipped by the door.

    How to do it

    Maya picks the outfit herself; choosing it is the buy-in. A 6:50 wardrobe change gets one answer: “that was a bedtime decision.”

  2. Wake to the checklist, not to a parent

    What this does

    The list gives the orders, so prompts stop sounding like nagging — and Maya can’t negotiate with a card.

    How to do it

    Checklist open on the counter by 6:45. If she stalls, one script, once — “check your list” — and point at the list, never at the task.

  3. Breakfast ends at 7:05, by the clockTuned today

    What this does

    A fixed endpoint keeps one bowl of cereal from swallowing the morning — with no countdown to race.

    How to do it

    The checklist shows “ends at 7:05” and chimes once, softly, at 7:03. No verbal time-checks — the clock is the messenger, not you.

04

Finally fill the blind spots with insight.

What works, the tripwires, surprising developments travel — between your partner, grandma, teachers, and specialists.

From our beta families

“Understanding what was happening made me more patient — she worked through it, I stayed with her.”
— Lumi beta program parent

We built Lumi because I was terrified my son would grow up wanting to get as far away from me as possible. We were fighting every morning, homework session, and transition despite years of therapy and a shelf full of books. Six months later, he was holding my hand and hugging me more than ever. With Lumi, we finally found a way to work together and truly understand each other. We found our way, not the way — and we’re committed to helping every struggling family find theirs.

Common questions

Is Lumi only for children with a diagnosis?

No. Lumi supports families navigating ADHD, autism, AuDHD, and related executive-function challenges—whether your child has a diagnosis or you’re still figuring out what support fits. Designed for ages 5–12.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

Generic chat starts from zero every time. Lumi co-creates a living model of your child and family, keeps the context, and grounds its coaching in clinical research.

What is a Mental Model?

Lumi’s working picture of how your child handles tasks, time, transitions, and emotions — built from a short questionnaire, refined by what happens every day. It personalizes everything else.

Can my partner, grandparents, or a sitter have their own logins?

Yes. Invite them from Settings — everyone gets their own account and sees the same plan in their own terms.

What’s the first thing we’ll do after signing up?

A few minutes of questions to build your child’s mental model, then your first checklist or strategy — most families run something the same week.

What happens to what we share?

Your household is the boundary. Your family’s data is stored privately, never sold, and deleted on request.

Do I need a credit card to try Lumi?

No. You can create your family’s account, build your child’s mental model, and run your first checklist or strategy without entering any payment details.

What does it cost?

Starting is free and takes no credit card. If you decide to stay, it’s $50 per month billed every three months, or $40 per month billed yearly.

What happens when the free period ends?

Nothing is deleted. Your household moves to read-only — your mental models, strategies, and history all stay exactly where they are, and everything unlocks again if you subscribe.

Is Lumi finished?

No — Lumi is in early access and we ship most weeks. That means some rough edges, and it also means the families using it now shape what gets built next.

What ages is Lumi for?

School-age kids, roughly 5–12.
