AI agent for caregivers
Family Care Rota Agent
Every care shift covered and family kept informed
What it does
When several family members share care for a parent or relative, gaps appear in visits and nobody knows the latest news. This agent builds a weekly rota from each person's availability and finds open shifts. It asks the family group for volunteers to fill them. The day before each shift, it reminds the person on duty and asks them to confirm. If someone does not confirm, it tells the main caregiver and asks for a stand-in. After each shift, it sends a short update to the family group from the care log. The main caregiver approves the rota and family messages. Edge case: when someone cancels at the last minute, it asks others in order of availability and tells the main caregiver if nobody can cover.
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.
