Milo from joinmilo closed: what former users can do next
Avni Patel Thompson announced the end of Milo in January 2026. What is known, what is not, and whether Anna fits your family’s next step.
What happened to Milo
Founder Avni Patel Thompson announced the end of Milo on 12 January 2026. This is the family assistant from joinmilo.com. Y Combinator lists it as Inactive and describes its earlier service as an SMS assistant combining AI with human help.
Checked 16 September 2026: joinmilo.com returned a disabled-deployment error. The founder's announcement, rather than that error alone, is the evidence for the closure. We have not found public information establishing what happened to former users' data.
This page is not about the separate product at gomilo.app.
Choosing what comes next
Start with the job Milo handled for your household. If it was remembering dates, decide where those dates should live. If it was preparing tasks from school information, check what a replacement can read and what it asks you to review. An AI service is not necessarily a replacement for the human support you had before.
Anna is an AI personal assistant for families, available on the web, iPhone, and Android. She follows connected email and calendar sources and helps turn family information into tasks and events. She can draft emails and send them from supported connected mailboxes after approval. For a timed reminder, ask for the time you want; a deadline alone is not a reminder.
Anna does not make outbound phone calls or complete purchases. Do not assume information from your old Milo account can be transferred automatically.
Price and trial
Anna's standard offer is US$20 a month or US$192 a year, equivalent to US$16 a month. The standard trial is 14 days with no card required. Referral offers can differ.
