When you need a meeting, a drive, or a nap, send their calls to their AI Companion. It knows their schedule, their people, and what calms them.
For parents of adults with autism and IDD
You can't be there every minute. Now you don't have to be.
AlwaysHere is a support line for your adult son or daughter with autism or IDD. It calls the phone they already have to get the morning meds down, walk through the routine, and answer the same question for the tenth time without a sigh. They can call back any time. You get a text recap after every call, and an alert if something is wrong.
About 15 minutes online. They keep their own phone. Nothing to install.
Assistive technology powered by AI. It tells your son or daughter it's an AI at the start of every call.

For the parent whose phone never stops
Give your phone an afternoon off
Some adults with autism call their mom or dad again and again. About what happened yesterday. About a date coming up. About a change to the routine that does not feel right. They are not trying to wear you out. They are looking for certainty. But you are a person, and people get tired.
Patience that does not run out
It answers the same question the same steady way every time. It never says "I already told you." The predictable answer is what helps.
A text only if something is really wrong
You get one short text when something truly needs you. Everything else waits for the recap.
A break without guilt
They still get comfort and real answers. You get to breathe and come back as their parent, not their switchboard.
Who it's for
Built for adults with autism and IDD, and the people who love them.
AlwaysHere is for adults 18 and older with autism, IDD, or another developmental disability, living at home, in their own place, or in a group home, and for the parents, siblings, and guardians who carry the daily load.
What $97 a month is
A service, not an app.
Every call, every day
Scheduled calls with meds and routines, and it answers whenever they call back, 8 hours of voice a month.
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 learn how you answer
On a 15-minute call and a short setup, Josh learns the questions that come up, the answers you give, and the redirects that work, like "Let's check your calendar."
They call AlwaysHere
It's saved in their phone under whatever name works for them, like "Mom's helper." Any phone, any time, as often as they need.
You get your time back
After each call you get a plain recap, and an instant text only when something really needs you.

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.
