“Busy life? You can’t call your parent every day – But we can” boasts the startup, inTouch.
The company promises for about $30 a month it will check in on your loved ones, so you don’t have to.
As 404 media reported, users can generate a profile of an elderly relative with topics and hobbies that they enjoy.
A chatbot can then call on a daily basis to check in, and “help stimulate the brain”, afterwards providing a log and updates for you on their app.
But don’t worry about being mistaken for a loving child, as CEO Vassili Le Moigne assured 404 media “We refused to customize the voice to that of a family member because we thought this wouldn't be right.”
Just call your dad.
