SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faced with the challenges of high-conflict co-parenting, ex-Googler Sol Kennedy created BestInterest for Coparents, the first AI-powered co-parenting app designed to improve collaboration and reduce conflict.
“Existing co-parenting apps rely on the threat of court to reduce conflict, which clearly isn't effective, as evidenced by the rising costs of family court disputes,” says Sol, adding, “I created BestInterest to make co-parenting more peaceful and child-focused.”
A Modern Approach Backed by Experts
BestInterest has already caught the attention of mental health experts, including Dr. Ramani Durvasula, renowned clinical psychologist and expert on narcissism. “BestInterest’s AI-powered communication tool is a modern approach to co-parenting that can significantly reduce the stress and strain of antagonistic and escalating situations,” says Dr. Durvasula.
A Revolutionary Solution for Co-parenting Communication
BestInterest’s AI-powered co-parenting app reviews and filters out anything that isn't child-focused, keeping past grievances and inflammatory content at bay. This feature brings peace to struggling co-parents and also protects them from saying things that they might regret, preventing conflicts from escalating in the first place.
Unlike other co-parenting apps, BestInterest allows users to sign up without needing agreement from the other parent — a game-changing feature for co-parents experiencing coercive control or other emotionally abusive situations.
With BestInterest, parents can set communication boundaries with custom notification schedules, such as receiving notifications only once a day, significantly reducing the daily anxiety many co-parents live with. Urgent messages or emergencies are flagged to ensure they get immediate attention, offering peace of mind.
Parents involved in custody disputes or legal proceedings can keep a geotagged journal to document key events like missed exchanges. All journal entries are non-editable, offering trusted records for use in court.
A Mission Rooted in Personal Experience
Sol’s own parenting experiences inspired the creation of BestInterest. “I know firsthand how challenging co-parenting can be,” Sol shares. “Our mission is to reduce co-parenting stress and keep the focus on the best interests of the children.”
Sol adds, “There’s a lot of understandable skepticism about AI tools, but with BestInterest, AI is truly a force for good. We’re not replacing jobs; we’re offering a lifeline to struggling parents and helping them stay present with their kids by facilitating positive communication.”
BestInterest for Coparents is available today on the App Store or Play Store. For more information, visit: https://bestinterest.app.
