An optional AI assistant that explains your own logs
Ask “how has her sleep changed this week?” and get an answer from your own logs, with the data it used shown. Optional, off until you say yes, and never a diagnosis.
Cocoon's optional AI features — powered by Claude from Anthropic — answer questions about your own logs (“Ask Cocoon”), read logging phrases the on-phone parser missed, turn a photo of a daycare or nanny day sheet into draft entries, write up a sleep plan, and add a weekly note. Nothing is sent until you agree, each feature says what it sends, and replies are screened for unsupported or medical claims.
What it does
Ask Cocoon answers questions about your own logs — for one child or all of them — and shows which data it looked at. It can point to any of Cocoon's evidence-based guides, and it reframes anything that drifts towards a medical claim, pointing you back to your GP or child-health nurse.
Scan a day sheet: photograph the sheet from daycare or the nanny, and Cocoon drafts the entries for you to review before anything is logged. The image isn't stored, and the sheet's notes can be kept as a journal note.
A sleep plan write-up and a weekly note add a few warm paragraphs around numbers Cocoon has already calculated — AI wording is checked against the supplied records; timing estimates are calculated separately.
How it works
- Create a free account (AI features need one, and a connection).
- Tap the sparkle on Home to Ask Cocoon, or choose Scan day sheet from the + sheet.
- Read what the feature sends, and agree — or don't.
- Turn AI off any time in Settings → Data & privacy → AI features.
The details
- Consent first: Cocoon asks once, names Anthropic and lists what each feature sends
- Ask Cocoon shows the data it used
- Day-sheet scan: drafts you review; the image isn't stored
- Timing is calculated separately; AI summaries are checked against supplied records
- Replies are not medical advice
- Everything else in Cocoon works without AI
Common questions
Which AI does Cocoon use?
Claude, made by Anthropic. Cocoon asks before anything is sent, names Anthropic, and lists what each feature sends. You can turn AI off any time.
Does Cocoon need AI to work?
No. Logging, forecasts, charts, reports and guides all work without it. The AI features are optional extras that need a free account and a connection.
Can the assistant give medical advice?
No. It explains your own logged data in plain language and points you to guides; anything medical is reframed with a pointer to your GP or child-health nurse.

Goes well with
Insights, charts & weekly digest
The long-term reason to keep logging: clear charts, a weekly digest with numbers you can trust, and patterns compared with your own baby — never someone else's.
How it worksNext nap & feed predictions
See when the next nap and bedtime are likely from the first logged wake. Times start typical for your baby’s age and become their own within days.
How it worksPrivate, offline & yours to export
A baby app holds some of the most sensitive data there is. Cocoon treats it that way — and never holds your memories hostage.
