AI agent for social workers
Caregiver Respite and Burnout Check Agent
The caregiver gets regular rest and the weekly load becomes sustainable.
What it does
Caregivers keep going until they collapse, and help is only arranged afterward. Each week the agent reads the care schedule to see how many hours were spent and how many hours of rest the caregiver had, and asks a short check-in about sleep, mood and stress. It spots weeks with no real break and looks up respite options such as day programs, family help, volunteer visits and short stays, with availability and cost. It drafts requests to family or services for a specific time. The next week it rechecks the load and the check-in to see whether rest improved. If not, it proposes a stronger option. The caregiver approves every message. Edge case: a check-in answer showing very low mood or thoughts of self-harm triggers a prompt to contact a professional or crisis line at once.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
