Tala Shows Up Every Day
Daily Check-ins
Tala calls your loved one every morning. A warm, natural conversation — not a survey. She remembers their life, asks about their day, and notices when something feels different.
Medication & Appointment Reminders
Gentle reminders woven into natural conversation. “Before I let you go, don’t forget your blood pressure pill at 2 o’clock.”
Family Alerts
If Tala notices something concerning — a missed check-in, confusion, expressed pain — your family is notified immediately. Summaries, not surveillance.
She Remembers
Tala learns who they are over time. Their cat’s name. Their grandson’s birthday. The way they take their coffee. Trust is earned, not programmed.
Simple for Your Family. Invisible to Theirs.
