Pickup Conflict Check
Pickup Conflict Check is a routine your Townie AI assistant runs each early afternoon: it reads today's and tomorrow's pickups, dropoffs, practices, and activities across your family calendars, flags timing conflicts, gaps, and double-bookings — two kids needing pickup at the same time in different places — and says who's covering what. When a fix means moving something or asking for help, it drafts the message for you to send, and when the day is clean it stays quiet.

OutlookIt runs each early afternoon
Your Townie reads today's and tomorrow's pickups, dropoffs, practices, and activities across the family calendars you've connected.
It finds what's about to collide
Timing conflicts, gaps, and double-bookings — including the classic: two kids needing pickup at the same time in different places — plus who's covering what, based on whose calendar each event is on.
You get the warning and the fix
A short message naming the clash and a drafted note to the other parent, the carpool, or the sitter — ready for you to send. On clean days it says nothing at all.
Pickup Conflict Check FAQ
It's a routine your Townie AI assistant runs each early afternoon: it checks today's and tomorrow's pickups, dropoffs, practices, and activities across your family calendars, flags timing conflicts, gaps, and double-bookings, and says who's covering what. When something needs to move, it drafts the message for you to send — and when the day is clean, it stays quiet.
Yes. The routine reads only the calendars you connect, its warnings go only to you, and nothing it drafts is sent without you sending it. It never shares anything about your kids with anyone without asking you first. Read more in our security overview.
No — it drafts, you send. When a fix means asking someone to cover, the message is written and addressed and waiting for your go-ahead. If you later want routine handoffs to go out on their own, you can loosen that, but draft-and-hold is the default.
Anything physics won't allow: overlapping events for the same adult, two kids due at the same time in different places, a dropoff with no one free to do it, or a gap between an early dismissal and the next covered block. You can tune how cautious it is after the first week.
