What $97 a month is
A service, not an app.
A recap you can read in ten seconds
After every conversation, by text, and an alert the moment something sounds wrong.
A human who knows your family
Josh sets it up personally and changes anything by text or email. No ticket, no chatbot support.
Paperwork for funding
A recommendation letter written for your case manager, because many waivers and self-directed budgets pay for assistive technology.
Less than three hours a month of a companion caregiver, for every day of the month.
What it handles
The hardest parts of the day, handled patiently.
Morning meds
It doesn't take one 'yes.' It checks the pill actually went in.
The same question, again
Answered calmly the tenth time, so you don't have to.
Transitions
Leaving the house, ending screen time, the next thing on the list.
Calming down
Slower words, fewer questions, and it waits.
How it works
Their phone. Their choices. Your peace of mind.
We set it up together
A 45-minute setup call with Josh: you, him, and your son or daughter. They meet the voice, choose what to call it, and it makes its first call while you are all on the line.
It calls. They call back
The familiar number works on the landline, flip phone, or smartphone they already use. Optional texts carry routines and reminders.
You stay in the loop
A concise recap after each call and an alert when something needs you.
Morning call with Ethan · 6 min
✓ Took morning meds (confirmed twice)
✓ Teeth brushed, heading to breakfast
Mentioned he’s nervous about the dentist Thursday.
Nothing urgent.
Safety
What happens when something sounds wrong.
When something sounds wrong, the companion slows down and checks, gently and without alarm. If the concern holds, it brings a human in on the steps your family chose.
Then it lets him get back to his day. Read the full safety protocol
Why this exists
Built by a neurodivergent founder for a parent in his class.
Josh Rosenfeld is neurodivergent. After a layoff at 50 he started teaching practical AI, and a parent in one of his classes asked him to build a companion in her own voice for her 19-year-old autistic son. He built it.
Read the whole storyHow it talks
Plainly. Patiently. Never trying to fix anyone.
The same rules shape every conversation, whatever the person's diagnosis or support needs. They are written into every companion and enforced on our servers, so no conversation can talk it out of them.
It speaks plainly.
No idioms, no hints, no reading between the lines. One question at a time, and never a leading yes-or-no. It offers a choice instead.
“Shoes first, or keys first?”
It doesn’t take one “yes.”
On anything that matters, it asks again, a different way. The same answer twice is the real answer.
“Just to be sure: did the pill go in, or is it still on the counter?”
If it texts you, it tells him.
In the very next thing it says. It never denies an alert it sent. And it tells them it’s an AI at the start of every call.
“I’ve let your mom know. That’s what we agreed.”
A real AlwaysHere family
“He calls her mombot. More than she calls him.”
Lee is 25 and autistic. His AlwaysHere companion speaks in his mom’s voice, with his okay. It calls every morning with his routine, a check-in, and whatever is coming up that day.
But Lee calls back. When he is anxious, when something happens, or when he just wants a familiar voice, he picks up the phone. It always answers.
He gave it a name. He calls it “mombot.” Not because we suggested it. Because you give names to relationships, not to apps.
