Frannie is a voice companion for older adults living on their own. They talk with Frannie each day, and you hear how they're doing.
Available in English and French
Pearl is feeling good and plans a walk with her dogs later.
Completed 2:24 PMYour loved one gets someone to talk to. You get to know they're okay without calling three times a day.
No typing and no menus. They just talk.
Frannie asks about their day, remembers what they told it last week, and picks up where they left off. They can talk to it any time, not only when a check-in is scheduled.
Know how they're doing without having to ask.
After each check-in you get a short summary of what they talked about, how they seemed, and anything worth a follow-up. Over time Frannie learns what's normal for them, so it can point out when something changes.
Frannie started with my mom. Like a lot of caregivers, I wanted to know how she was really doing day to day, and I wanted her to have someone to talk to when I couldn't be there.
She does her check-ins with Frannie now, and much of what you see on this page came from watching what worked for her and what didn't.

It takes a few minutes, and there's nothing new to learn.
A push notification arrives at the scheduled time. Your loved one taps to open the check-in right in the app.
Your loved one speaks and Frannie listens, asks follow-up questions, and keeps the conversation going, like catching up with someone who knows them.
Frannie keeps track of what's been shared and brings it up naturally next time. Things that are resolved don't keep coming back.
You get a short summary of how they seemed, what came up, and anything to follow up on.
Most check-in calls ask the same questions every day. Frannie remembers the dog's vet visit, the grandkid's recital, the knee that was sore on Tuesday, and asks about them.
Frannie keeps track of the people, pets, appointments, and interests that matter to your loved one, and brings them up naturally in later conversations.
Tell Frannie what to pay attention to: a health concern, a pet's wellbeing, an upcoming appointment. It checks in on those things as part of the conversation.
If your loved one wears a fitness tracker, Frannie can factor in sleep, steps, and heart rate, shown in your summaries as helpful context, not medical advice.
Summaries, history and settings live in one place, so it's easy to step in when something seems off.
Set up your loved one's profile, check-in schedule, and background information in one place.
Flag specific things for Frannie to check on. They come up naturally in conversation, not as a list of questions.
Frannie surfaces patterns in mood, energy, sleep, and routine over time, so you notice changes before they become concerns.
If a check-in is missed, Frannie notifies you in stages so you can respond calmly and at the right level.
Here's a normal week with Pearl and her dog Rainie.
Pearl mentions that Rainie hasn't been eating much.
Frannie asks how Rainie is doing. Still off her food, and the vet is booked for Friday.
Frannie asks how the vet went. Rainie is fine. You see the whole thread in your summaries.
Frannie also picks up on how they like to talk. Some people want a quick chat and others like to go on for a while. It follows their lead and changes how it says things, so it doesn't sound like the same script every day.
Frannie tries your loved one first, then lets you know in stages. You have time to respond at each step rather than receiving one urgent alert with no context.
Frannie sends a couple of follow-up reminders directly to your loved one. Snoozing here keeps caregiver alerts paused.
A quiet push notification to the primary caregiver, just a soft signal to be aware.
Push notifications go to everyone in the caregiver network, with SMS as a fallback. Still calm, not an alarm.
Push, SMS, and WhatsApp to all caregivers. Time to check in through other means.
You receive summaries of how check-ins went. If wearable data is available, it may be included as helpful context.
Frannie is not an emergency service. If you are concerned about immediate safety, please contact emergency services directly.
The companion is free for everyone. The Family plan adds scheduled check-ins and caregiver summaries.
The app is available in English and French

The things families usually want to know first.
Frannie only listens during a check-in or when your loved one opens the app to talk. There is no ambient monitoring. Check-ins can be snoozed, skipped, or dismissed at any time.
Voice conversations are processed securely and never shared as a live feed. You receive a summary and transcript of each scheduled check-in, while everyday Talk conversations stay private to your loved one.
If health topics come up, for people or pets, Frannie can share general information from trusted public sources. It does not diagnose or give medical advice, and for anything urgent it directs your loved one to call for help.
Frannie is friendly and patient, not clinical or condescending. It doesn't repeat questions about things already resolved, and it follows the lead of the person it's talking with.
Setup takes a few minutes. Join the waiting list and we'll let you know when it's ready.
