📖 Usage Guide

Everything you need to know once you're set up.

🚀 Your first chat

Hatley guides you through onboarding automatically. Just start talking about your kids.

Start here
"I have a 5-year-old son named Elliot who's struggling with frustration tolerance."
Hatley will create a child profile and your first theme.
Add detail
"He's in Kindergarten at West Mercer Elementary. He loves Pokémon and chess."
Richer profiles lead to better, more personalized coaching.
Tip: You don't need to fill out forms. Just describe your family naturally — Hatley picks up names, ages, schools, interests, and challenges from your conversation.

🃏 The Cards panel

As you chat, the Cards panel (right side on desktop, swipe from right on mobile) shows context and actions.

Context cards (sage edge) show supporting information — child profile, active themes, saved moments, and documents.
Action cards (amber edge) are things you can do. Strategies, exercises, follow-ups. Tap "I'll do this" to commit — it moves to your To Do list.
Saved cards appear when Hatley logs something. Tap to see full details, related themes, and tools like probe questions or repair scripts.
The To Do tab in the left panel collects all your committed actions across conversations.

💬 Prompts for every situation

Use these as starting points. Hatley's advice improves the more context it has.

After a tough moment

"Elliot had a meltdown at bedtime tonight. He refused to brush his teeth and threw his toothbrush."
"We had a rough morning — screaming about getting dressed, tears at drop-off."

Celebrating wins

"Elliot shared his snack with his sister today without being asked!"
"The 3-breath reset actually worked at dinner tonight. First time!"

Planning & strategy

"What should we prioritize for Elliot this month?"
"Help me plan summer enrichment activities."
"What patterns do you see in Elliot's meltdowns?"
"Are there any themes we should retire or add?"

Checking in

"Tell me about Elliot's week — what should I know?"
"How's Louise's development tracking?"

📝 Logging moments

Moments are the building blocks of Hatley's intelligence.

Just talk naturally. You don't need to say "log this." Hatley captures it automatically.
Tap any saved card to dig deeper. Full text, related themes, and tools — probe questions, emoji wall, repair scripts, storybook briefs.
Include emotions. "I felt frustrated" or "Elliot seemed anxious" helps track emotional patterns.
Be specific about what worked or didn't. "The timer technique didn't work" feeds strategy effectiveness tracking.

🌱 Working with themes

Themes are the core areas you're working on with each child.

Create a theme
"I want to work on Elliot's frustration tolerance — he escalates quickly when things don't go his way."
Check progress
"How is the frustration tolerance theme going? What's the evidence saying?"
Themes evolve. Hatley tracks evidence, builds hypotheses about root causes, and adjusts recommendations based on what's actually working.

✨ Interactive tools

Accessed by tapping into a card's detail view — each moment and theme card has tool buttons.

😊 Emoji Wall

A pannable emoji grid for children to identify how they're feeling. Hand the phone to your child after a moment.

How to use: Say "Show Elliot the emoji wall" or tap any moment card → Emoji Wall button.

📖 Storybook Brief

A personalized bedtime story brief based on themes, delight triggers, and experiences. Weaves in emotional lessons through metaphor.

How to use: Say "Generate a bedtime story for Elliot" or tap any moment card → Storybook button.

💡 Conversation Starters

Probing questions tailored to your child's recent moments — designed for reconnect time.

How to use: Say "Give me probe questions for Elliot" or tap any moment card → Probe Questions button.

📄 Documents & email ingest

Two ways to get documents into Hatley permanently:

📎 Upload directly. Use the paperclip button in the web app chat bar to upload PDFs, report cards, and assessments.
📧 Forward via email. Forward school emails to [email protected]. Works with Seesaw, Tadpoles, Brightwheel, ParentSquare, and any plain email. Your forwarding email must match your Hatley account.
⚠️ AI attachment ≠ saved. Attaching a file to Claude or ChatGPT lets the AI read it but does NOT save it to Hatley. Use [email protected] for permanent storage.

👫 Co-parenting

Both parents share the same family data.

Invite co-parent
"Invite my partner to Hatley."
Generates an invite code your partner uses to join.
Co-parent context
"What has Amy been working on with Elliot this week?"
See what your partner has logged and strategies they're trying.

⚡ Power prompts

For experienced users who want to go deeper.

"Compare Elliot's math and reading trajectories. Where should we focus?"
"What hypotheses do we have about Elliot's frustration triggers?"
"Prepare me for the parent-teacher conference."
"Draft a message to Elliot's teacher about the screen time pattern."
"What's the 90-day roadmap for Elliot?"
"Show me plan templates for school admissions."
"Schedule this strategy for tomorrow morning."
"Is Elliot eligible for gifted programs based on his scores?"

🎯 Tips & tricks

Use both surfaces. Connect Hatley to your AI for deep coaching. Use the web app for chat with context cards and to-do tracking. They share the same backend.
Get documents in early. Forward school emails to [email protected]. Set up an auto-forward filter from your school's email domain.
Log the boring days too. "Normal bedtime tonight, no issues" helps identify what conditions lead to good days vs hard days.
Include what you tried. "I used the 3-breath reset and it worked" tracks strategy effectiveness over time.
Talk about yourself too. "I was really triggered by the whining today" helps Hatley understand your patterns.
One child at a time. Focus on one child per conversation for the most grounded advice.
Ask for the roadmap. Once you have 10+ moments and a few themes, ask "What's the roadmap for [child]?" to see a development plan.
