For the meetings about your kid that you spend half the night replaying.

The 15-minute conference problem

A parent-teacher conference is 15 minutes long. The teacher says a lot. Some of what they say is encouragement; some is concerns; some is specific things you should do at home. By the time you walk out you remember maybe three of them, and you're not sure if you remember them right.

Bonfiyah captures the conference. The transcript has the teacher's exact words. Pro AI's Action Items pull out the things you're supposed to do — read together for 20 minutes, sign the math worksheets, call the counselor about Y. With owner (you, your child, the teacher) and deadline.

IEP and 504 meetings

For parents of children with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) or 504 plans, the stakes are higher and the meetings are longer. The educators in the room often outnumber you 5-to-1. They're using terminology you're still learning. The decisions made affect your child's entire school year.

Bonfiyah lets you focus on listening and asking questions instead of taking notes. The recording is your record of what was specifically agreed to. Truth Layer (Pro AI) catches inconsistencies between what was said in the IEP meeting and what shows up in the written plan two weeks later.

Many states explicitly allow parents to record IEP meetings. Bonfiyah's consent module surfaces your state's specific rules. We don't give legal advice; we give you a record.

Sharing with the other parent

Co-parents who couldn't attend can read the Pro AI Story Mode recap (3 paragraphs) instead of listening to a full 30-minute recording. The Action Items export to Apple Reminders, Things, or Todoist so household tasks get tracked automatically.

For separated or divorced parents, having a shared record of what the school said reduces "I don't remember the teacher saying that" arguments downstream.

A note on consent

Most public schools allow recording with prior notice — and many encourage it for accessibility reasons. Some districts or individual schools have restrictions. Bonfiyah's consent prompt at the start of the recording is the polite and safe move; ask the teacher and any specialists in the room if they're comfortable being recorded "for my own review."

Most educators say yes. They're used to it for IEPs and increasingly for general conferences. The 1% who decline have given you a small data point about how they handle accountability.
