A friendly voice on the phone, every day.
Senior Companion calls your mom, dad or grandparent on the phone they already have, for a warm daily chat. Afterward you get a short note, and a way to be part of every call. No app, no device, no setup.
It's an AI, and it always says so. It adds to the calls you make. It doesn't replace them.
- Senior Companion says: Good morning, Margaret. It's your Senior Companion call. I'm an AI, by the way, just so you know. How did you sleep?
- Margaret says: Oh, fine. The tomatoes finally came in.
- Senior Companion says: Wonderful. Your granddaughter Lily sent a photo of her new bike this morning. Shall I tell you about it?
What the family receives

- Worth a call
- She mentioned the stairs have been hard lately
You call on Sundays. The other six days, you wonder.
Someone you love lives alone, a few hundred miles away. The house is quiet for long stretches. Most days, nobody asks how the morning went or what's growing in the garden.
You feel it too. You can't call every day, and you carry the guilt of distance. A text goes unread. A call goes to voicemail and your mind fills in the rest.
You don't need more worry. You need more of the ordinary days, and a way to know they were okay.
How it works
Step 1: Set a time
You tell us when your parent likes to chat, and what to call them. We check with them first. It takes a few minutes, and they don't need to set anything up.
Step 2: They talk
At that time their phone rings. A warm, patient voice says hello, says it's an AI, and chats about their day, their memories and whatever's on their mind. They can hang up whenever they like.
Step 3: You get a summary
A short note arrives each day: how they sounded, what they talked about, and anything worth a follow-up call from you.
Family Bridge: be in every call, even from far away
Family Bridge is the family side of Senior Companion. Send something, and the companion works it into the next conversation, so your parent hears about it in the middle of their day, and brings it up with you later.
The point isn't to hand off your relationship. It's to give the two of you more to talk about.
Photos
Send the picture of the new bike, the school play, the finished kitchen. The companion describes it and asks about it.
Voice notes
Record a hello, a joke or a goodnight. It can be played during the call, in your own voice.
Updates
Tell it about Saturday's visit, a new job or the dog's vet checkup, so tomorrow's chat can start there.
Your daily summary. Mood, topics and anything worth a follow-up, in a note short enough to read with your coffee.
Built to earn trust, and to keep people in the loop
Handing a loved one's daily conversation to anyone, human or not, deserves straight answers. These are the principles we're building around.
- Honest about being AI
- It introduces itself as an AI, answers truthfully if asked, and never claims to be a relative, a friend from the past or a human.
- Consent comes first
- Calls start only after the senior has said yes. They can pause or stop whenever they like, and they can see what the family receives.
- Private by design
- Conversations are used to run the service for your family, not for advertising. Summaries go only to the family members you invite.
- Not medical advice
- It's a companion for conversation. It doesn't diagnose, track health conditions or suggest treatment, and it isn't an emergency service.
- It tells a person
- If someone sounds distressed, mentions a fall or danger, or calls go unanswered, the people you chose hear about it promptly so a human can step in.
In an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number). Senior Companion is not an emergency service.
Who it's for
Families spread across distance
You're an adult son or daughter, probably in the middle of work and your own family, with a parent you can't visit every week. You want them to have company and you want to stay close.
Seniors who would enjoy a daily chat
You live on your own and like a friendly conversation. You don't want to learn a new gadget. If your family sets it up, you decide whether to keep talking.
Care organizations
You support older adults in communities or at home and are curious whether a daily call could complement your team's work. Tell us about your setting and we'll talk.
