FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Francisco, CA – November 19, 2024 – Sol Kennedy, the founder of BestInterest, an innovative co-parenting app designed to minimize conflict and enhance peaceful communication, recently sat down with Ron Gore, a family law attorney and host of the Co-Parenting Academy Podcast, to discuss the app’s game-changing approach to co-parenting. During the conversation, Sol shared personal insights into the challenges of high-conflict co-parenting and how BestInterest’s AI-powered features offer a new level of support for co-parents.

In his interview, Sol explained that he created BestInterest out of his own experiences as a co-parent facing the emotional toll of high-conflict communication. “As a father, I wanted to stay present with my kids and avoid the cycles of blame and defensiveness that often accompany difficult co-parenting interactions,” Sol shared. Inspired by these challenges, he developed BestInterest to serve as a digital buffer, filtering emotionally charged messages and providing constructive communication tools.

The interview highlighted how BestInterest uses advanced AI technology to help users focus on child-centered communication while reducing reactive responses. Ron Gore was impressed by the app’s ability to streamline interactions, stating, “This approach is something I haven’t seen before in co-parenting apps.” BestInterest’s AI reads every message exchanged between co-parents, filtering out triggering content and keeping only the essential child-focused information. Parents are notified when a message contains “more to the message” and can choose to view it later, making it easier to manage their emotions and remain centered.

A standout feature discussed in the interview was BestInterest’s “gray rock” approach, where AI enables users to respond in a calm, neutral manner, free from emotional triggers. This feature is particularly useful for parents navigating relationships with challenging co-parents. Sol shared, “Gray rock communication helps stop the cycle of conflict and lets both parents focus on what matters: their kids.”

Sol also highlighted how BestInterest differs from other popular co-parenting apps like Our Family Wizard and TalkingParents. BestInterest allows co-parents to experience the app’s benefits without requiring both parties to use it. By providing users with a dedicated phone number for communication, BestInterest seamlessly filters and supports exchanges, even if the other parent isn’t signed up for the app. This eliminates the need for court-mandated usage agreements and empowers co-parents to manage conflict on their own terms.

AI Co-Parent Coach and Additional Features

BestInterest’s AI Co-Parent Coach offers on-demand advice and support tailored to real-world co-parenting situations. In the interview, Sol explained how users can upload screenshots from other apps, such as iMessage, Our Family Wizard, and TalkingParents, for personalized feedback on tone, phrasing, and conflict-avoidance. This feature is a first-of-its-kind in the co-parenting space, providing real-time coaching on communication, boundary-setting, and problem-solving.

BestInterest also includes a private, secure journaling feature for recording co-parenting interactions, events, and observations. Journal entries are non-editable and timestamped, making them valuable for parents who may need documentation for legal purposes.

Helping Co-Parents Stay Focused and Empowered

Through BestInterest’s unique blend of communication tools and personalized coaching, Sol hopes to create a more peaceful co-parenting experience for families everywhere. “Co-parenting can be incredibly challenging, but BestInterest provides a lifeline,” Sol said. “It helps parents stay present, productive, and child-focused, reducing the emotional toll of high-conflict relationships.”
