Managing a family calendar can feel like a full-time job. In this episode, Angela Lee talks with Amy Briggs, founder of Aviva, about how AI can help busy parents reduce the mental load of family scheduling.
After years of working with children and families, Amy understood just how much parents carry behind the scenes. As a mother herself juggling school emails, activity schedules, birthday parties, and daily logistics, she knows first hand how overwhelming the cognitive load of managing a family can be.
So despite having no technical background, Amy enrolled in Chicago’s 1871 tech incubator and built Aviva, an AI tool that automatically detects events from emails, organizes family calendars, flags conflicts, and helps parents stay ahead of the chaos.
In this conversation, Angela and Amy explore the deeper reality behind modern parenting — the expectations, guilt, and pressure that many working moms silently carry — and how technology can be used to give parents back their time and presence with their families.
You’ll hear about Amy’s career pivot, how she built a tech company from scratch, and why her approach to AI is different: Aviva isn’t designed to keep you glued to your phone — it’s designed to help you close the app and get back to your life.
In this episode, we cover:
• The invisible mental load most parents carry • Why modern parenting often feels impossible to get “right” • Amy’s transition from speech pathologist to tech founder • How she built an AI product with no coding background • How Aviva helps automate family scheduling and reminders • Why the best technology should give you time back, not take more of it
If you’ve ever felt like the CEO of your family’s logistics — this episode will feel incredibly validating.
