The Family Group Chat

This is where I collect the things I'd send to the people I love: products I like, ideas I'm thinking about, tools that make life easier, funny things I can't keep to myself, and advice I'd give my kids.

Some of it's useful. Some of it's just funny. All of it is stuff I'd actually text you. Pull up a chair โ€” the chat's always open.

Hi, I'm Ashley

I run a marketing and AI agency called Waymaker, where I help people build businesses with AI. The Family Group Chat is my own experiment โ€” a place to test what an honest, useful, non-spammy product and content site can actually look like, in public, while I'm at it.

Off-screen, I'm a mom and a grandma (Lou is the best thing that ever happened to my group chat notifications). Most of what ends up here is something I'd genuinely text my daughter, my son, or save for them.

What "worth sending" means

Every product on this site gets an honest label: Watching it (trending, haven't tried it yet), Tried it, or Love it. And every one gets a Group Chat Verdict โ€” Send it, Gift it, Watch it, Worth testing, Splurge it, or Skip it. No fake reviews, no pretending I've personally tested everything.
