How it works
- Your parent says what they need. In their own words, or a photo of the thing or of a written list: batteries, a night light, a phone charger.
- AI finds real options. Up to three listings for each thing, under your limit, each explained plainly: what it is, why it fits, and what to watch for.
- You say OK from your phone. Your phone buzzes with the ask. One tap pays with their saved PayPal, and you both get the receipt.
You stay in charge
- Nothing is bought without your OK. Untick anything you don't want, and it goes back to your parent.
- You set the limits. A price for each item, and a total for each ask.
- No passwords change hands. PayPal keeps the payment details, linked once from your parent's phone.
