Parenthood is an incredible journey, but it’s also really overwhelming. For new parents, especially, navigating the endless stream of conflicting advice, coupled with sleepless nights, and constant firsts - it often feels like every time we think we’ve got “it,” it totally changes.
That’s why Nanit is thrilled to bring you our Parent Like a Pro Summit, where Nanit’s experts and ambassadors come together for curated conversations about sleep, parenting, and more. Think of it like that expert best friend in your ear who’s got the answers to your most profound questions before you even know what to ask.
In this recap, you’ll hear from industry leaders on the power of AI and technology in parenting, as well as the future of AI, plus tips for using tools available to you (cue: Nanit and Maple) to help you parent confidently - from infancy to independence, and more.
Panelists include Michael Perry, Founder and CEO at Maple, a logistics and scheduling app, Nanit's Founder and CTO Tor Ivry, Nanit’s VP of Clinical Research Natalie Barnett PhD, and AI Sr. Product Manager Sam Hazak.
On using AI to assist with parenting
“Technology + AI provide you with the information you need to make the right decisions + provides you more time to spend with your kids.” - Michael
On the best apps for parenting
“Obviously Nanit and Maple. It’s the advancement of technology that gives us a new allotment of time that we otherwise did not have. Reclaiming normalcy is something I'm super excited about.” - Michael
On the benefits of technology in parenting
“It provides you with the information you need to make the right decisions and gives you more time to spend with your kids. - Michael
“I love the point about getting your time back with your kids or partner - those you love. We can spend more time doing the things that free us and make us more creative and happy. The future really looks bright in that sense. Companies like Maple and Nanit are going to be there to help build that.” - Tor
On how AI can help diffuse the silent burden of parenting
“The mental load, historically, in heterosexual relationships has fallen on the mom. At Maple, our general value system is that your life’s work is your partnership, and children are part of that. By default, we create a shared ecosystem of tools where it doesn’t all have to fall on one person’s shoulders.” - Michael
On the role of AI in mental health
“Different parents use our products in different ways. Take what works for you. Keep controlling your life, but let AI do the boring productive things for you.” - Tor
On Nanit’s AI as a tool for parents and researchers
"I call it parenting 2.0, because it helps you really understand what's going on inside the crib. When I have the capability to learn and see what's happening, suddenly I have these intuitive insights that I can use to parent my son.” - Sam
“AI also has the power to accelerate the pace of sleep research. It lowers the barriers of entry for collecting data, which means we can conduct more research that will impact all families. - Dr. Natalie
