# Plan a carpool rota

Who drives which day, who’s in the car and who swapped with whom. Each family updates its own days, and anyone can ask who’s doing Friday.

## An example

**You:** I can't drive to football on Tuesday, can someone swap with my Thursday? Also Maya won't need a ride Friday.

**ADoor:** Added 1 entry to Swaps and updated Friday

**Carpool**

| Day | Driver | Riders | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Tue | Anna | Ella, Maya, Theo | Swap asked |
| Thu | Petra | Ella, Maya, Theo | – |
| Fri | Johan | Ella, Theo | Maya off |

## What you can ask later

- “Who drives tomorrow, and who’s in the car?”
- “How many times has each family driven this month?”
- “Who’s picking up Theo on Friday?”
- “Accept Petra’s swap.”

## Who can see what

- **Each family** reads the rota and edits its own days and riders.
- **Kids** can read who picks them up.
- **Home addresses** stay in a field only the drivers can read.

## How it compares with a group chat

A group chat is better for “running five minutes late”. Keep it for that.

The plan itself belongs in ADoor: who drives, who rides and who owes a turn, across several households, without scrolling back through the chat.

## How to start

1. Sign in to ADoor and connect an assistant like ChatGPT. Claude, Grok and Cursor connect the same way, through MCP.
2. Tell it: “Set up a carpool rota: day, driver, riders and note, plus Swaps. Invite the other parents.”
3. Give each family edit access to its own days, and keep addresses to the drivers.

## Questions people ask

### Can each family see the others’ addresses?

Only if you give them access to that field.

### Does it work for commuting coworkers?

Yes. The same rota works for any shared ride.

### Do I have to pay?

Not on the free plan, which holds 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage and no per-GB charges.

### What if someone leaves?

Remove their access and it stops working on their next request. The history still shows what they added and changed.
