Especially in the last few years, almost every industry across the world has seen the introduction and emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of making things easier and effortless. This has mostly happened on an individual level. However, a groundbreaking company, Domus Next Inc., aimed to go a little further and democratise the use of AI to enhance family life, with AI-native family infrastructure thriving on the power of shared intelligence.

AI, in just a few short years, has entered people's lives as a personal tool, as a chatbot for individual queries. However, daily life, especially family life, is not lived in isolation. It is shared, interdependent, and constantly evolving. This gap between how AI is designed and how life is actually lived has created friction until now. This week, San Francisco-based Domus Next Inc. introduced something as cutting-edge as Nori, which is described as the world's first AI platform built specifically for family life. Nori is designed as a system-level AI that understands and coordinates household dynamics. In doing so, it also signals a broader shift in AI design, paving the way for a positive transition from single-user tools to shared environments.

Families operate as living systems, where schedules can overlap, preferences can evolve, responsibilities can shift, and decisions in one area, like shopping, meals, and school pickups, can cascade into others. Conventional AI apps have been fragmenting these realities across notes, calendars, messaging threads, and task managers, forcing people to do the integration work. This is when Nori enters the picture, shaking things up with modern-day AI for shared intelligence. It maintains a persistent family context across calendars, tasks, meals, shopping, and routines, allowing the AI to reason across domains.

At its very heart, Nori acts as a shared coordination layer for the household. Family members can interact with the system naturally through voice, text, photos, or forwarded emails, and updates are reflected in real time across devices and members. The platform adapts to how families already communicate. Over time, Nori builds what the company calls a living family memory, which is a shared, continuously evolving knowledge base that includes practical details of each member, like allergies, recurring commitments, household preferences, favourite recipes, and so much more.

The core capabilities at Nori designed for shared living include:

• Calendars and Scheduling: Shared calendars informed by family routines and not just isolated events.
• Tasks and Responsibilities: Shared tasks assigned and tracked with visibility across the household.
• Meal Planning and Recipes: This is coordinated based on schedules, dietary preferences, and constraints.
• Shopping List: Synchronising lists that stay updated across devices and users.
• Multi-Modal Input: Accepts voice, text, photos, and forwarded emails to reduce friction in data entry.
• Family Memory: A persistent knowledge base that grows with the family rather than resetting with each interaction.

Together, these core capabilities allow the AI to be more like an infrastructure layer supporting daily tasks and less like just a tool. Domus Next Inc. describes Nori as an AI-native family infrastructure. This paves the way for Agentic AI, which is a system that can reason, remember, and act across contexts. And, Nori brings it into one of the most complex real-world environments, the household.

Nori is now live across iOS, Android, and the web with core features available for free and an optional AI subscription for enhanced capabilities.
