Everyday calls
What would you call Marla for?
Some calls start with a question. Others start because the house is quiet and there’s a good story to tell.
An everyday question
Ask for an explanation, brainstorm a birthday gift, or figure out what to cook with what’s in the fridge. The whole exchange happens by voice.
See a question
“I have tomatoes, bread, and a bit of cheese. What could I make for lunch?”
A timely nudge
Choose a time for a friendly reminder about a book club, a family call, or a routine your loved one wants to keep.
See a reminder
“You asked me to remind you that book club starts at two. Have you picked a passage to share?”
Inside a Marla call
Where would the conversation go?
Pick a moment from the day. These written examples give you a feel for the companion we’re building.
After breakfastLet a story take the long way home.
Caller“I found a picture of my first car. Bright yellow. My sister hated that thing.”
Marla“What did you love about it?”
Caller“Honestly? It meant I could drive us both to the beach.”
Conversation that follows their lead
At lunchtimeAn everyday question can turn into lunch.
Caller“I’ve got eggs, leftover potatoes, and exactly one clean pan.”
Marla“That sounds like a potato omelet. Want to go one step at a time?”
Caller“Please. Start with the potatoes.”
Answers at their pace
Before book clubA change of plans, in their own words.
Caller“My book club moved. Could you call Friday instead?”
Marla“Of course. What time on Friday works for you?”
Caller“After lunch. Let’s say one.”
A spoken request for a schedule change
Next timeA detail worth picking up again.
Caller“Remember that my grandson and I are planting basil.”
Marla“I’ll remember that you two are growing basil together.”
Next call“How did planting day go? Did you find a sunny spot?”
Memory the caller chooses to share
For families
You give the gift. They choose the calls.
Choose a rhythm
Choose monthly billing or gift a full year based on how your loved one likes to talk. A family member can suggest times and reminders.
Make an introduction
Sit together for the first call. Marla introduces herself as AI, and your loved one chooses whether they’d like her to call back.
Let it be theirs
They decide what to talk about, what they want remembered, and when to pause. Paying for the plan doesn’t give a family member a transcript.

Before the first hello.
Will they need an app or a smartphone?
The service is designed for an ordinary landline or mobile phone. The family handles subscription setup separately.

The person receiving the calls. You can suggest a time during setup, and your loved one can accept it, ask for a different time, or pause scheduled calls.
Is Marla a real person?
Marla is an AI voice companion. She introduces herself that way and gives the caller room to ask questions or end the conversation.
Can I rely on Marla for emergency help?
Marla is designed for conversation and personal reminders. An unanswered call does not trigger emergency assistance.
