OUR STORY

We built Clara because
we couldn't be there.

Like many of you, we live far from our aging parents. Different cities, different time zones, busy lives that seem to move faster every year.

We call when we can. But between work and kids and everything else, days slip by. And in those quiet moments — usually late at night — we wonder:How are they really doing? Are they eating well? Do they feel lonely?

We're engineers. We've spent years building AI systems for Fortune 500 companies — voice assistants, conversational AI, complex automation. One day, we asked ourselves a simple question: What if we used everything we know to solve the problem that actually matters to us?

That question became Clara.

14 million seniors live alone in America.

Many go days without a real conversation. Not because their families don't care — but because life pulls us in a thousand directions.

Loneliness isn't just sad. It's deadly. Studies show it's as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It accelerates cognitive decline. It leads to depression.

And yet — a single daily conversation can change everything.

Technology that feels like family.

We didn't want to build another robotic reminder system. The world has enough of those.

We wanted to build something that feels real. A voice that remembers your mom's favorite recipes. That asks about the grandkids by name. That notices when something feels off — and lets you know.

We spent months talking to families, caregivers, and seniors themselves. We learned that what people want isn't a nurse or a robot. They want a friend who checks in.

That's what Clara is.

What we believe

Connection is a basic human need.

Not a luxury. Not optional. As essential as food and shelter.

AI should serve families, not replace them.

We're not trying to replace your calls. We're trying to fill the gaps between them.

Privacy is non-negotiable.

We don't record calls. We don't sell data. Ever.

Simple is better.

No apps to download. No devices to set up. Just a phone call.

Where we're going

Today, Clara makes daily calls. Tomorrow, we want to be the companion layer for aging in place — helping seniors stay independent, connected, and safe in their own homes.

We're just getting started. And we'd love for you to be part of the journey.
