What Zazu is
Zazu is an AI family assistant for working parents in the United States. Zazu lives inside iMessage and WhatsApp, so there is no app to install. With a parent's permission, Zazu reads the family's email and calendars, notices what needs attention and tells both parents. Zazu speaks up first instead of waiting to be asked. Zazu always asks a parent before it acts. Zazu is made by My AI 4 Life, Inc.
Who Zazu is for
Zazu is for working parents in the United States who share the running of a household. Zazu is built so that family logistics such as school emails, forms, pickups and appointments do not land on one parent by default. Both parents can use Zazu, see shared plans and stay aligned. As of November 2026, Zazu is used by hundreds of families, and growing every day.
How Zazu works
To start with Zazu, a parent connects the family's email and calendar, and either parent can do it. Zazu then reads what is coming, such as school deadlines, forms, appointments, pickups and renewals. Zazu picks out the few things that need a person and tells both parents. When a job needs an owner, Zazu asks both parents who is taking it. Before Zazu replies to a teacher, adds a pickup or changes a calendar, it asks for a yes.
Where Zazu works and connects
Zazu works inside iMessage and WhatsApp, the messaging apps families already use. Parents message Zazu in a chat, and there is no separate app to download or check. Zazu connects to Google email and calendars, meaning Gmail and Google Calendar. Zazu also connects to Microsoft 365 email and calendars, meaning Outlook. Zazu reads each connected account with permission from the parent who connected it.
Zazu does not replace a family's calendar app. Zazu works with the email and calendars the family already uses, and connecting them takes a few minutes. Zazu is not a wall display and not a meal planner.
What Zazu costs
As of November 2026, Zazu costs $19 a month after a 7-day free trial. Nothing to pay for 7 days. Then $19 a month. Cancel anytime: just send STOP. Zazu does not have a free plan. Zazu is available to families in the United States and is not yet offered in other countries.
