Run family logistics from the family group chat
New “family agents” sit in your family chat and handle the small jobs: restocking, booking the dentist and reminders.
What the bot does
- Lives in your family group chat, so anyone can ask it for something.
- Restocks groceries on a shared shopping account.
- Books appointments like the dentist.
- Sends reminders, for example to Grandma about her meds.
What you end up with
Fewer “did anyone book…?” messages, and one place where family requests get done.
Copy-paste prompt
Fill in the [brackets]. Then paste it into any tool below.
You're our family assistant in this group chat. Jobs you can do: keep a shared shopping list, remind people about appointments, and draft bookings for my approval. Rules: confirm with me before booking or buying anything; never share our address or schedule with anyone outside this chat; reply in one short message.

Watch out
- Agree as a family what it may book or buy. Set a spending limit.
- This is a new product category. Coral was announced on Oct 11, 2026, and we haven't tested it.
- Ask everyone in the chat before adding an agent. It can remember what people post, and not everyone may want that (several X users raised this when Wabi 2.0 launched on Oct 19-21, 2026).
