AyamiFor families abroad, with parents in India
Know how your parents are, every day.
Ayami makes a short, friendly phone call to your parent in their own language, then sends you a summary. If something is wrong, you hear about it straight away. Your parent needs no app and no smartphone.
- Hindi, Hinglish and English
- Tells her it is an AI
- She can stop any time
- Works on any phone
The idea
Between phone calls, you worry. Ayami is for that gap.
You call home once or twice a week. In between, you wonder whether she ate, slept, took her medicine, or whether something has happened. Ayami keeps a gentle daily check-in going, so a quiet week no longer means not knowing.
You live abroad
You are in the US, Canada, New Zealand or anywhere else, and your mother or father lives in India.
She keeps it simple
She just answers her phone. No app, no smartphone, no sign-in. The call is in Hindi, Hinglish or English, whichever she prefers.
She stays in charge
Calls begin only when she says yes, and she can say no, pause or stop whenever she likes.

Pick a kind of day. Watch a short example call play out, then see what lands on your phone. Switch between Hinglish and English to see what is being said.
How it works
Four steps, from setup to peace of mind
Choose a step to see exactly what happens.
You set it up in a few minutes
In the Ayami app, in English or Hindi, you tell us about your parent:
- Who she is. Her name, what you call her, her city, her language and how Ayami should address her.
- When to call. The days, and a morning and an evening check-in window if you want both.
- What matters. Her medicines and anything you want Ayami to ask about.
- Who else helps. Backup contacts, such as a sibling, a neighbour or a relative in India, and other family members who should see the same summaries.
- How careful to be. How quickly Ayami should alert you. You can change it later.
Nothing starts until she says yes
The first call is hers to agree to, not yours. There are two ways to ask her:
- A WhatsApp heads-up. She gets a message in Hindi, in her daytime. It says Ayami is an AI, that calls are recorded and who asked, by name. She taps haan (yes), baad mein (later) or band karo (stop). If she does not reply, she gets one reminder after three days.
- An intro call with you on the line. You are there, she hears a familiar voice, and she agrees out loud.
If she says no, we stop and never call that number again.
A short, warm call
- Honest from the first sentence. Ayami says it is an AI, and always speaks respectfully, with "aap".
- A real conversation. It asks how she slept, whether she has eaten, if she took her medicine and how she is feeling, then listens.
- No medical advice. It does not diagnose or tell her what to take. It tells your family what she said.
- Calls are recorded, unless you set the recording time to zero. Her number is never used for anything else.
- Visits and festivals. Plan a break and calls pause, then restart on the date you pick.
You know, without having to ask
- A summary after each call. How she slept, ate, her medicine and her mood, in plain words.
- Trends over time. A week of quiet changes is easier to spot than one call.
- A weekly summary for the family.
- Alerts when it matters, on push, WhatsApp and SMS, with quiet hours that respect your night.
- Backup contacts who agreed to help can answer with one tap: "I'm going now" or "She's fine".
Everything in the box
What you get
Daily check-in calls
One or two short calls a day, at times she likes, in her language.
Plain-language summaries
A few lines on how she is, with sleep, meals, medicine and mood. No transcripts to read unless you want them.
Trends and a weekly summary
See changes over days and weeks, not just today.
Alerts that matter
Falls and emergencies are caught from her own words. Other alerts follow the sensitivity you choose.
Family and backup contacts
Share the summaries with siblings, and name people in India who can step in. They only help if they agreed first.
Your data, your rules
Choose how long recordings and summaries are kept. Export or delete everything yourself.
When something is wrong
Alerts you can trust, and a parent who is always in control
This is the part we care most about, so here is exactly how it behaves.
How careful should Ayami be?
You choose a sensitivity for each parent. Try the three settings.
- Missed check-ins in a row2 Ayami alerts you after this many unanswered check-ins in a row, after trying each one again.
- Missed medicine (if you switch it on)2 Calls in a row where she says she did not take it. Medicine alerts are off by default.
- Low mood or confusion3 Low mood or confusion alerts after this many "keep an eye on this" signals in a row, or one clear alert.
Emergencies ignore this setting. If she says she fell, has chest pain, trouble breathing, feels faint or dizzy, is bleeding or hurt, or asks for help, you are alerted at once. That is decided by simple rules on her own words in Hindi, Hinglish and English, never by an AI's guess.
Who is told, and when
- You and the other admins, at once.On push and WhatsApp, and SMS if WhatsApp fails. Non-urgent alerts respect your quiet hours. Urgent ones break through.
- Then backup contacts who agreed.After the delay you set. They get a one-time link that shows just this alert and her number to call.
- Someone answers, and it stops."I'm going now" or "She's fine", from a family member or a backup contact, ends the escalation. You are told what they said.
- If a message fails, we try again.After 1, 3, 10 and 30 minutes, so an alert is not lost to a bad signal.
Every urgent message says: "If this is an emergency, call 112 first." Nothing we send gives medical advice.
Her yes, and her stop
Calls only begin after your parent says yes herself, and that yes is recorded with the time and how she gave it. She can also stop at any time, in the middle of a call or by message, with no earlier message needed. Try it:
Calls are on, because she said yes.
Your data
You decide how long anything is kept
A call can hold private things, so keeping less is the safe default. Move the sliders to see what each choice means. The full details are in the privacy policy.
What you can always do
- Export everything. Settings, then Privacy and data, then Export all data. You get a zip with your data and the recordings.
- Delete everything. Billing is cancelled first, then the account and all its calls and recordings are deleted.
- Remove one parent. Her recordings are queued for deletion too.
- Nothing is sold, and nothing is used for advertising.
Who handles it, and why
Each of these sees only what it needs to do its job. Your data is stored in Mumbai, India.
- A database hoststores the data
- A voice providerplaces the call
- An AI servicewrites the summary
- Messaging providerscarry messages
- Payment providerstake payment
What Ayami is not
It is not a doctor, it does not diagnose, and it is not an emergency service. It may miss something or fail to reach her. It is a way to stay in touch and to be told early, not a replacement for a visit or for care.
In an emergency, call 112 in India first.
Questions
Things people ask us
Is it a person or an AI calling?
It is an AI, and it says so in the first sentence of every call. It is warm and respectful, but it never pretends to be a human.
Does my parent need a smartphone or an app?
No. She only needs a phone that can receive calls. WhatsApp is used for the optional heads-up message. If she is not on WhatsApp, the intro call with you on the line does the same job.
What languages does it speak?
Hindi, Hinglish and English on the call. The app is in English and Hindi.
What if my parent does not want it?
Then nothing happens. Calls start only after she says yes, and she can stop at any time. If she says no, we never call her again unless she says yes later.
What if she says something worrying?
If she mentions a fall, chest pain, trouble breathing, feeling faint, bleeding or asks for help, you are alerted straight away, and so are your backup contacts after your delay. Each urgent message tells the reader to call 112 first.
Can I choose when it calls, or pause for a visit?
Yes. You pick the days and a morning and evening window, and you can plan breaks for visits, festivals or travel.
Who can see the summaries?
You, and any family members you invite to the account. Backup contacts do not see summaries. They only see a single alert, through a link that works once for 24 hours.
How much does it cost?
You see the price in the app before you pay, and a free trial may be offered. You can cancel any time, and calls continue until the end of the period you already paid for.
When can I get it?
We are starting with a small group of early-access families. Write to support@ayami.app and we will get in touch.
Know how they are, every day.
