Optional real-time tone and clarity review powered by our privately deployed dedicated AI model — included in AppClose's all-inclusive subscription at no additional cost
AUSTIN, Texas, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AppClose, the world's most widely used co-parenting platform, today announced the launch of Co-Parent Assist, an optional AI-powered communication feature designed specifically for co-parenting and family law communication workflows.
Unlike AI tools that rely on models that train on users' private communications, Co-Parent Assist operates through our privately deployed dedicated AI model designed specifically for the AppClose platform. Messages aren't sent to any third party AI service and are not used to train any model. Co-Parent Assist helps parents review tone and clarity before sending a message, while keeping users fully in control of what they choose to send.
AppClose also announced expanded Spanish-language support across the platform, making secure co-parenting communication and court-trusted documentation more accessible to Spanish-speaking families, attorneys, and family law professionals.
Both features are included in AppClose's single all-inclusive subscription, and are available now to every subscriber on iOS, Android, and AppClose Web, at no additional cost.
"The Pause Before You Send"
When enabled, Co-Parent Assist reviews draft messages in real time and may identify wording that could be perceived as escalatory, inflammatory, or unclear. The feature can suggest edits and alternatives that improve clarity or are more neutral, all while preserving the original meaning and intent of the communication.
Suggestions are entirely optional, visible only to the sender, never sent automatically and, unless sent, never included in exportable records.
"Families should not have to choose between modern AI tools and privacy," said Igor Litinsky, Founder and CEO of AppClose. "Co-Parent Assist was designed specifically for co-parenting communications exclusively within our private AI environment. The goal is simple: help reduce unnecessary escalation while keeping communications private and parents fully in control of what they choose to send."
Designed to Assist — Not Replace Human Judgment
Co-Parent Assist is not therapy, legal advice, or message moderation. The feature does not make decisions for users or alter communications automatically. Suggestions are visible only to the sender, entirely optional, and intended solely to help users review tone and clarity before sending a message.

Court trusted records
Communication activity on AppClose is preserved as part of a system of record sealed from the moment it is created. Every message, call, request, and payment is securely time-stamped, encrypted, and stored at the point of creation, and users cannot modify or delete these records.
Any user may initiate unlimited Certified Electronic Business Records exports directly through the platform. Exportable certified records include messages, group conversations, call logs, expenses, reimbursements, requests, check-ins, notes, and session logs. Each certified records export contains a unique Record ID, certification timestamp, in-app session logs with IP addresses, and documented chain of custody. Certified Electronic Business Records are designed for use in U.S. family law courts and courts of general jurisdiction handling family law matters.
Through the free, web-based AppClose Pro platform, attorneys and courts may independently verify Record IDs and access the same certified records that are stored within the AppClose system.
