Bea is a voice-first coach for whānau and families, built during the
Built with Opus 4.7 hackathon.

Most family apps ask people to log moods, track habits, or fill in
forms. Families don't have time. Bea listens instead. She joins
everyday family kōrero (conversations), transcribes, and reflects in the moment
with warmth.

The thinking happens between sessions. Three Opus 4.7 reasoning
agents do work a smaller model would visibly fail at: a group session
reader handles multi-speaker transcripts and per-member summaries; a
pattern detector reasons across weeks; and a Coach decides what Bea
should gently raise next, or leave alone. Five of eleven guardians
use Opus 4.7, selectively, where extended thinking earns its cost.

Bea's coaching stance comes from Takitaki mai (the Māori adaptation
of Motivational Interviewing) and mana-enhancing practice. She
borrows the skills. She leaves the rituals to the people who own them.

Built by Lian Passmore, Aotearoa New Zealand.
