kai Early access

For families with older parents

They’re fine. Kai’s on it.

Every morning Kai rings your mum or dad on their own phone for a short, warm chat. Minutes later you get a note: how they are, and anything they need, ready to sort in a tap.

A parent on the phone at home on the sofa. The phone cord turns into a heart and leads to their son’s phone, which shows: They’re fine, two things to do, prescription to approve and a train to York that Anna is handling.

How it works

Three minutes for them. Thirty seconds for you.

  1. A warm morning call

    At a time they choose, a kind, patient voice asks how they are and what’s on today. They always know it’s an AI, and it remembers what they said yesterday.

  2. A clear note for you

    “They’re fine”, or a few things they mentioned: a prescription, the GP, a train, a leaky tap. Each one comes with a ready solution.

  3. One tap, and it’s done

    You approve and pay with your own card, or a brother or sister takes it. Next morning Kai tells them it’s sorted.

A morning with Kai

Miles apart. Never out of touch.

Frank is 81 and lives on his own in Harrogate. His son Tom lives in London.

09:30 · Frank’s phone rings

“Morning, Frank! Sleep well?” He tells Kai the roses are out, and that his prescription has nearly run out.

09:34 · A note for Tom

Dad’s fine. 2 things to do. Prescription ready Friday. Train to York on Saturday to see his sister.

09:40 · Two taps

Tom approves the prescription. His sister Anna takes the train.

Next morning

“All sorted, Frank. Tom sends his love.”

Why families choose Kai

Not just a call. Things get done.

Kai isn’t a chatbot to keep them on the phone for hours, and it doesn’t replace your call. It’s a short morning check that gets things done, so your own calls can be about the good stuff.

Their own phone

Landline or mobile. No app, no password. Same number every day.

One-tap errands

Every request arrives with a ready solution for you to approve.

Done means done

Kai tells them it’s sorted on the next call.

Scam shield

If they mention an odd call about money, you hear about it the same morning. Kai never asks for money or codes.

Whole family

Brothers and sisters share one list. No answer twice? Everyone knows.

Price

One simple plan, paid by you.

Early-access families get 14 days free and help shape the service.

Why I’m building Kai

I live in London with two children. My parents don’t live round the corner, and plenty of families I know are spread across different cities, some across different countries.

I think about them every day. I don’t always manage to call. By the time the kids are asleep the moment has gone, but the worry hasn’t.

So I started building the call I wish I could make each morning. The idea is simple. A kind voice rings them at the time they like and asks how they slept and what’s on today. A few minutes later I get a short note: they’re fine, and here’s what they need. I can sort it on the train or at the school gate. It’s the sort of job I think AI is genuinely good for.

Then, when we do speak, we can talk about the garden and the grandchildren. The prescription’s already ordered.

Questions

What families ask us

How do we introduce Kai to Mum or Dad?

You tell them first, in your own words. Then Kai makes a short hello call: it says it’s an AI, explains what it does and asks if they’d like a call each morning. Nothing starts unless they say yes.

What if they don’t like it?

They can tell Kai to stop or change the time whenever they like, and you can pause or cancel in a tap. The first 14 days are free.

Is my parent talking to a real person?

No. They talk to a friendly AI voice, and it tells them so. It’s patient, it remembers what they said yesterday and it never rushes them.

What if something is really wrong?

If they sound unwell or confused, mention a fall, you get an alert straight away. Kai is not an emergency service: in an emergency, call 999.

What if they don’t pick up?

Kai tries again a little later. If there’s still no answer, you and anyone else you’ve added get an alert straight away, so someone can check in.

Can the rest of the family see the notes?

Yes. Add brothers, sisters or a trusted neighbour. Everyone sees the same note and to-do list, and anyone can pick up a task.

How is Kai different from an AI companion?

Companion services aim to keep your parent chatting for a long time. Kai keeps it short and useful: a warm check-in, a note for you, and a list of what they need, each with a ready solution. It doesn’t replace your call. It means your call can be about the good stuff.

Do they need a smartphone or the internet?

No. Any phone that rings will do, landline or mobile. Everything you need is on your phone.

Who pays for the things they ask for?

You do, with your own card, only after you approve each one. Kai never holds their money or yours, and never asks them about money, codes or passwords.

What happens to what they say?

Notes go only to the family members you add. No one at Kai listens to calls, except to check an alert or if you ask us to. Your parent can ask for anything to be left out of the note, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time. We follow UK data protection law and never sell or share what they tell us.

Who is Kai not for?

Kai isn’t a medical or emergency service and doesn’t replace care. It works best for parents who live independently and enjoy a chat on the phone. It isn’t suitable for advanced dementia.

When can we start?

We’re starting with a small group of families in early 2027. Join the list and we’ll be in touch with a start date. Joining is free and commits you to nothing.
