How it works

Three steps. The middle one matters most.

Most services ask the family and start dialing. Etta is different by design: nothing happens until your parent themselves says yes.

1.

You set it up

Tell us about your parent — their name, their interests, the best time to call, and who to contact if a call is ever missed. Takes ten minutes.

2.

They say yes

Before any check-in call ever happens, your parent hears exactly what Etta is — an AI companion — and personally agrees. Often you're sitting right beside them.

Their consent, not just yours
3.

Etta calls, you know

A warm few minutes each day — sleep, meals, medication, whatever they feel like talking about. Afterwards, a short summary lands in your messages.

What you receive

The difference between "alive" and "doing well."

A motion sensor tells you the coffee maker turned on. Etta tells you how she sounded.

  • A note after every call — mood, meals, medication, anything worth knowing, by text or email.
  • Patterns over time — weekly trends in sleep, appetite and spirits, so slow changes don't slip past.
  • If she doesn't pick up — Etta retries, texts her, then works through your chosen contact chain.

Margaret sounded cheerful today. Slept well, had toast and jam, and she's planning to water the garden this afternoon. She mentioned her knee is stiff again — second time this week.
