📖 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 Web App

The Hatley web app is a dashboard built around five tabs. Each tab shows a different slice of your family's history:

Home tab — your daily view. An AI-generated summary of recent activity, a Needs Attention list of pending actions, and Quick Start prompts. Each prompt has two buttons: open it in the chat tab, or copy it to paste into Claude or ChatGPT.
Themes tab — all active focus areas per child. Tap any theme to see its goal, milestones, linked moments, and coaching notes Hatley has stored. Progress bars show milestone completion.
Moments tab — your full coaching history in reverse chronological order. Filterable by child. Tap any moment to read the full notes and see the linked theme and source.
Inbox tab — all documents ingested from email or uploaded directly. Tap any document to open the authenticated view. Your family ingest address is shown here for easy copying.
Chat tab — built-in coaching chat backed by Hatley's full family context. Suitable for parents who prefer a simpler interface or don't have a Claude or ChatGPT paid subscription. For the most powerful experience, use the chat tab to get a prompt, then take it to Claude.

💬 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.
Open the Moments tab in the dashboard to browse all logged moments. Tap any moment to see the full notes, linked theme, and source.
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 (Claude only)

The emoji wall, storybook brief, and conversation starters are available when using Hatley through Claude. Claude renders them as interactive artifacts directly in the chat.

😊 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” in a Claude conversation with Hatley connected.

📖 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” in a Claude conversation with Hatley connected.

💡 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” in a Claude conversation with Hatley connected.

These features are not currently available in the Hatley web app.

📄 Inbox & 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 ingest@hatley.ai. 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 ingest@hatley.ai 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 Claude or ChatGPT for the deepest coaching experience. Open the Hatley dashboard to see what those conversations have built — themes, moments, and actions — at a glance. The dashboard's Home tab also gives you copy-ready prompts to take back into Claude or ChatGPT.
Get documents in early. Forward school emails to ingest@hatley.ai. 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.
