Reporting an absence

Most schools require a call on the morning of an absence, and an unreported absence is recorded differently from an excused one — sometimes with consequences that surface months later.

The call takes forty seconds and needs four facts: your child's name, their grade or teacher, the date, and the reason in general terms.

We make it first thing, and confirm it was logged.

For example
Translated by a nine-year-old

The letter about the parent meeting came home in English, so her daughter read it to her, and then interpreted at the meeting itself. The school had an interpreter available the whole time. Nobody had asked.

You write this, in any language

Please call my daughter's school and report that she's absent today because she's sick. She's in Ms. Rivera's third grade class.

What comes back

Confirmation the absence was recorded, and whether a written note is still needed.

Nothing is dialled until you confirm. US numbers, called in English.

Questions people ask

Will it tell the school what illness?

Only in the general terms you write. Schools do not need a diagnosis, and the agent does not discuss medical detail.

What if my English isn't good?

That is who this is built for. You write or speak your request in your own language — English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean or Russian. The call itself is placed in English, and the transcript and result come back to you in your language.

Does the person on the other end know it's an AI?

Yes. Every call opens by saying it is an AI assistant calling on your behalf. That sentence is written into the code, not left to the model to decide, so it cannot be skipped.

Will it call without asking me first?

No. You see exactly who is being called and what will be said, and nothing is dialled until you tap confirm.

Hand this one over

It takes about a minute to set up, and then it is off your list.
