A warm daily check-in for the people you love.

Yes. We're transparent. If she asks, it tells her plainly that it's an AI companion — your family can even give it a name, like "Dot." It never pretends to be a person or a relative, and that's a feature, not a bug. Pretending would erode the trust that makes this work.

Yes, with the premium phone-conversation option. She calls the same number she texts and talks with her companion out loud — it remembers what she's shared, can note a reminder she asks for, and runs the same safety check as texting, so you're alerted if something's wrong. Calls wrap up gently after 20 minutes, and premium includes up to 100 minutes of calls a month; after that, it's texting until the 1st. We keep a written transcript, never a recording. With scheduled calls, her companion can also ring her for a chat on the days and time you choose, once she's said yes by text; if she misses it, she gets a short voicemail and a "sorry I missed you" text. Without the option, a call gets a short, friendly message asking her to text instead.

This product is designed for cognitively aware seniors. If your loved one has significant cognitive decline, please consult their care team before introducing AI companionship — it may not be appropriate, and we'd rather you know that up front.

The bot keeps sending warm messages on schedule. Caregiver alerts go out when a message shows a real safety concern. And if she stops replying for 48 hours (you can change this, or turn it off), caregivers get a gentle heads-up by text and email, with one follow-up a day later if she's still quiet.

Tell her to text us first, any time someone asks for money, gift cards, or a bank, Medicare or Social Security number. Her companion will tell her plainly if it sounds like a scam, tell her not to pay or share anything, and suggest checking by calling a number she already trusts, like the one on the back of her card. You get a text and email right away. If money has already gone out, it tells her to call her bank now.

No. You can set it up for yourself in a few minutes. “Just me” plans are $25 a month, or $35 with phone calls. If you'd like help, Ted will call you and set it up with you. You can name one emergency contact, free, and change it any time. They're only told if something serious comes up or you stop replying for a couple of days (you can change or turn that off), and they never see your messages. Without anyone on file we can't reach someone for you, so we'll always tell you to call 911 in an emergency.

Yes — up to 4 caregivers per senior, each with their own opt-in preferences for urgent alerts, weekly summaries, and quiet hours.

Anytime, no dark patterns. Their profile, reminders, and settings are deleted right away. Their text messages are kept for 90 days in case a safety question comes up, then erased automatically — or right away if you ask. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

No, and we're transparent about it: we are NOT a covered entity under HIPAA. We're a consumer messaging service. Don't share medical records via senior-bridge — use it as the warm-conversation layer it's designed to be.
