Amical

What it does

Amical is an AI companion built into a retro-style phone for seniors and people with cognitive disorders. It provides a 24/7 presence and can make scheduled wellness calls for reminders or check-ins. A web portal lets residences manage devices, schedule daily calls, and track residents.

Amical is a phone with an AI companion designed for older adults who have trouble using a smartphone or tablet. The retro design is meant to be familiar, and the AI can start wellness calls on a set date and time for things like appointment or medication reminders. During setup, a questionnaire lets you add details about your loved one and topics to avoid, and you can pick the companion's name and voice. The company says you cannot clone a family member's voice. For care settings, a web portal lets staff manage devices, schedule daily calls, receive notifications, and track residents. Amical states it is built privacy-first, with encryption and a promise that data is never sold or used to train public third-party AI models. The site does not list a price. Instead, it asks you to fill out a form to be notified when Amical is available, so availability and cost are not confirmed.
