A family workspace is a workspace with a household in it. Create one from the workspace switcher and invite the people you live with.
Roles
Parent, child, partner, caretaker, and roommate. These are not decorative: a child cannot manage members or billing, and chore verification is a parent action.
Roles are per workspace. The same person can be a parent in their household and an ordinary member of a friend's workspace.
Chores
A chore is a repeating task with a person on it and optionally a reward. Assign it, and it appears in that person's Today alongside everything else, because a household job is not a different category of work.
Chores can require verification: the child marks it done, a parent confirms it. Use it where the outcome is checkable and skip it where it is not. A verification step on "tidied your room" teaches negotiation, not tidiness.
Allowances and points
Allowances run on a schedule and can be tied to chore completion or paid regardless. Both models are supported because households genuinely disagree about this one.
Points are the lighter-weight version: award or deduct them, and a leaderboard shows where everyone is.
Houses and the House Cup
Members can be sorted into houses, and a House Cup season runs points as a team competition over a fixed period, with a leaderboard and an end date that declares a winner.
This is either exactly what your family wants or completely not. It is entirely optional and nothing else depends on it.
What else a family workspace unlocks
Shared budgets and a household expense report. A habit comparison across the family. A daily summary and an activity feed of what everyone has been doing. Presence, so you can see who is in the app.
Privacy inside a household
Sharing a workspace does not mean sharing everything in it. Boards are visible by board membership, notes and whiteboards can be shared with one person, and the Vault and Hide from memory work exactly as they do in a personal workspace.
The assistant is scoped the same way. A shared workspace does not become a way to ask the machine what your teenager has been writing.
