Which one should you pick?

If you live in the US and want one agent for everything, Muse is the one getting the attention. If you’re in the UK or the EU, it isn’t an option yet, and Frankie is: it’s in WhatsApp already, it speaks your language, and it’s built for the parts of family life that don’t fit a to-do app, like the co-parent handover, the school letter in German, or the dentist on a Thursday.
