Stories worth keeping
Clara is a warm AI companion who calls your parent or grandparent on the phone they already have — and truly listens. The wedding day. The first job. The house on Maple Street. After every call, your family keeps the recording, the transcript, and a beautifully written story.
No apps. No passwords. Just a regular phone call.
Margaret spent the morning baking her famous coconut cake for Jacob’s eleventh birthday — seven layers, toasted coconut on top, the same recipe her mother brought home from the diner in 1962. And then, out of nowhere, the story of the fishing trip where Robert proposed.
“He had the ring in his tackle box. Pulled it out covered in fish scales. I laughed so hard I cried.”
Illustrative example — Margaret is fictional. The story Clara writes after a call, kept beside the full recording and transcript.
Mom lights up on Thursdays now. And you finally know the story of the house on Maple Street.
How it works
Who they are, what they love to talk about, and when to call — then Clara takes it from there.
A warm, unhurried conversation on their regular phone — comfortable with pauses, happy to follow a tangent. She picks up threads from earlier calls. Calls are recorded so the family can listen later.
After every call: the recording, a clean transcript, and a written story — searchable, and shared with the people you invite.
The family app
Your loved one never touches a screen — their whole experience is a friendly phone call. The beautiful app is for the rest of the family.
Listen to any call — or tap a line of the transcript and the audio jumps to that exact moment. That laugh, mid-story, right where it happened.
“…toasted coconut on top, seven layers. It’s been at every birthday for sixty-two years.”
Every conversation becomes searchable. Ask a question, and the answer comes back drawn from their own calls, with the passages where they said it. On iPhone today; coming to Android.
A soft, plain-language note after each call — how they sounded, what made them light up. Never charts, never dashboards.
One person sets it up; siblings and grandkids come along, sharing every new story in the same archive.
Tell Clara what’s on your mind — Thursday’s cardiology appointment, Jacob’s birthday — and she’s designed to bring it up naturally when the moment feels right. Mentioned the way a friend would. Never an alarm.
Clara is a companion, not a medical or emergency service, and not a reminder service.
Who it’s for
You call when you can and worry in between. Clara adds warm conversation to the week — with the quiet peace of mind that Mom or Dad sounds like themselves today, and the stories you always meant to ask about, finally kept.
Grandkids join the same shared archive — listening on the train, asking follow-ups at Sunday dinner. These stories will be theirs someday.
No forwarded voice memos, no shoebox of tapes — one beautiful, searchable place that grows every week, open to the people you invite.
For communities. Clara is built for families. If you run a senior-living community, mention your community when you request access.
Keepsakes · coming soon
Week by week, Clara’s conversations will gather into A Life in Stories — a printed, hardcover memoir in your loved one’s own words, with an audio documentary of their voice to play alongside it. Beta families will be the first to hear when it’s ready.
A Life in Stories — a printed memoir, in your loved one’s own words.
Built on trust
Want a copy of every recording, transcript, and story — or want them deleted? Email privacy@meetclara.org and we’ll take care of it within 30 days.
When Clara first calls your parent, she’s designed to say who she is, which family member asked her to call, and that she writes down what they share for the family.
Connections between our systems are encrypted, and our database is encrypted at rest; the phone network itself isn’t encrypted end to end. We don’t sell or rent your family’s data.
Only people invited to your family’s circle can see the calls in the app. Everyone in it can read the transcripts; you choose who can also play recordings, change the schedule, add notes, or invite others.
The full picture, in plain language: our privacy policy.
Questions
A phone that rings. Landline or mobile, flip phone or smartphone — nothing to install, charge, or remember. Clara calls them.
Clara leaves a warm message and mentions when she’ll call next. They can call Clara back on her number — you choose whether she answers anytime, for a while after a missed call, or not at all. You’ll see the missed call in the app, where rescheduling takes a few taps.
You can adjust the topics and how often she calls — and if it’s not right for your family, you can stop the calls anytime — just let us know.
In the app, only the people invited to your family’s circle — and you choose which of them can play recordings. Our service providers process the audio to make transcripts; our privacy policy lists each one.
She isn’t a reminder service: she won’t ring at a set time just to deliver a reminder, and she can’t make sure a pill was taken. You can ask her to check in about medications or an appointment, and she’s designed to bring it up naturally when the moment feels right. Clara is a companion, not a medical or emergency service.
Yes — tell Clara what matters (a check-up, a birthday, a worry) and she’s designed to bring it up naturally when the moment feels right.
