> Your mum's GP appointment moves. Beemy updates your personal calendar. It flags the clash with your work meeting before it becomes a scramble.

Use cases

You have one job. You have one parent who needs care. Only the evenings are free for both. In a self-reported 2025 US survey by AARP, six in 10 family carers also held a job. The GP surgery, the pharmacy, the care agency and a sibling group thread all write while you are at your desk. Beemy runs the recurring admin behind both. Your time goes to the job and your family.

## The day you have now

### Two lives, one set of evenings

A full-time job does not pause when a parent needs care. Calls, forms and appointments wait for after work. You have little time then.

### The GP surgery doesn't call twice

An appointment moves. The only warning is one email or a missed call in a meeting. You cannot check a parent's calendar until the day is over.

### The family thread nobody has closed

An email thread with your siblings about a parent's care grows to forty replies. One decision in it is yours. You cannot read all of it on top of a full inbox.

A day, handled

## Beemy for working carers, hour by hour.

### Before the day starts

Beemy sorts the overnight messages from the GP surgery, the pharmacy and the sibling thread into their own silo. Nothing crosses into your work inbox. Nothing needs you yet.

### The sibling thread, reduced

The email thread with your siblings about your mum's care grew to forty replies overnight. Beemy reads all of it. It gives you the one decision it waits on.

### The appointment, moved

The GP surgery emails to move your mum's check-up. Beemy drafts the change in your personal calendar. It waits for your one tap. Your work calendar never sees it.

### The clash, flagged

The new appointment time falls on a client call. Beemy catches the clash. It flags the clash to you and does not guess which one moves.

### The evening, off

One thing needed your say-so today: which meeting moves. Beemy had already handled the surgery, the pharmacy and the sibling thread.

One item, shown

## The working carer, one job made concrete.

What arrived

GP surgery

Your mum's check-up moves to Thursday 2pm

The surgery emails to say your mum's GP is on leave that day. Her check-up moves forward a day. You have not yet looked at your own week.

Beemy's message

Thursday's appointment now reads 2pm. It clashes with your 2:30 client call. Beemy flags the clash. It does not move either one.

You decide which one moves and confirm with one tap. Beemy changes nothing in your work calendar by itself.

What you'd hand over first

## 6 jobs, off your plate from day one.

### [Catch the clash before it becomes a scramble](https://beemy.co/playbook/catch-the-clash)

You The school run and a client call have landed in the same slot, and you haven't noticed yet.

Beemy Flags the clash across both calendars. It is the one thing Beemy always escalates instead of guessing.

### [Reschedule the appointment without the day even noticing](https://beemy.co/playbook/reschedule-without-the-day-noticing)

You A dentist appointment needs to move, and you are mid-meeting when it comes up.

Beemy Handles the reschedule inside your personal silo. It drafts the reply and the calendar update for you to approve.

### [Turn a 40-reply thread into one decision](https://beemy.co/playbook/spiralling-thread-to-one-decision)

You You're cc'd on a thread that's spiralling and don't have time to read all forty replies.

Beemy Reads the whole thread and weighs each reply by sender and urgency. Then it tells you the one decision the thread needs.

### [Nudge the thread that's gone quiet](https://beemy.co/playbook/nudge-the-quiet-thread)

You A customer has gone silent since last week's demo.

Beemy Drafts a check-in in your voice, timed to land before the silence turns into a lost deal.

### [Reduce a busy week's personal inbox to the two that need you](https://beemy.co/playbook/reduce-personal-inbox-to-two)

You Life got busy, and your personal inbox is thirty emails deep.

Beemy Triages it down to the two that need your voice and files the rest where it belongs.

### [Keep the evening off, on purpose](https://beemy.co/playbook/keep-the-evening-off)

You The workday is done, and you want it to stay done.

Beemy Keeps your personal thread clear of anything work-related. No client email has seen what is for dinner.

Where the silo line sits

## Your mum's health. Your job. Never in the same silo.

A parent's care and your job compete for the same afternoon. They never share a file. Beemy keeps them in separate silos. A GP appointment never informs a work draft. A client thread never sees a parent's health details. [How the silos hold →](https://beemy.co/trust)

What Beemy will not do

## What Beemy won't do for a working carer.

It will not make a medical or care decision. It will not call the surgery or sit in with the care agency. Those calls stay with you and your family. Beemy takes the volume: the reading, the filing, the rescheduling and the flagging. A relative's health details are a third party's data. They stay in your personal silo. They never reach a work draft.

Questions

## Fair questions, straight answers.

**Will Beemy make a decision about my mum's care?**

No. It will not make a medical or care decision. It will not call the surgery for you. It handles the reading, filing and rescheduling around those decisions. The decisions stay with you.

**Is my relative's health information safe, and does Beemy meet HIPAA rules?**

Beemy makes no health-compliance claim today. Your relative's details stay in your personal silo. They are held apart from your work inbox. The same wall protects everything else there.

**Can it reschedule an appointment with the surgery, or only remind me?**

It drafts the reschedule and waits for your one-tap approval. Nothing sends before that. It never calls the surgery.

**Does it work if I'm only on Gmail and Google Calendar?**

That is the fully live setup today. Outlook is rolling out as it clears its own safety gate. See the roadmap for the current status.
