HeartTalkFor the person at home
Warm, voice-forward conversation with touch and typed alternatives, continuity from distilled facts, and the ability to erase everything Zoe remembers.
Why HeartTalk exists
Small demands add up. Human connection should not be what gets crowded out.
Family caregivers often carry repeated companionship, reassurance, engagement, and routine check-in demands. Those demands can interrupt work, rest, and family life and leave less time and energy for meaningful human connection. HeartTalk is building a complete caregiver-support solution around Zoe: a functioning companion foundation today, with a Phase 2 caregiver layer that will be implemented, tested, measured, and refined in realistic use.
For family caregivers
A Phase 2 caregiver layer designed to offer limited, understandable reassurance while keeping private conversation from becoming a monitoring feed.
Built around control
Nothing will be visible to a caregiver by default. Each future grant will be explicit, caregiver-specific, category-specific, and revocable.
The destination
Caregiver support built around the person’s control.
During Phase 2, HeartTalk will add and test a caregiver layer that separates every caregiver from every category of information. The user will decide what may be seen and by whom, and will be able to revoke a grant in one act.
Design boundary: the caregiver view is intended to present only granted facts. It will not diagnose, infer mood, score risk, generate absence alerts, or turn private conversation into monitoring.
Phase 2 design concept — not yet implemented
These screens show the intended caregiver layer in design voice. They do not represent available caregiver functionality.
The destination is in design. The foundation already runs.
What exists today
Zoe is already functioning in production.
On supported preconfigured consumer tablets, Zoe has been tested initiating routine-aligned greetings at three daily windows without waiting for the user to open the app. A time-aware check-in is also offered whenever the user opens HeartTalk.
- Speak or type; once a voice session begins, the companion can continue hands-free without repeated screen taps.
- Complete setup independently or with caregiver support, including name confirmation, interests, and daily rhythm.
- Continue later conversations using distilled facts, with erase-all memory control available at any time.

Safety boundary
Zoe is a companion, not a medical, legal, financial, or emergency service. HeartTalk is not a diagnostic or clinical monitoring system. In an emergency or immediate danger, contact emergency services or a trusted person.
About speech recognition
The current browser-based speech-recognition path may process spoken audio through a third-party recognition service. HeartTalk is evaluating a replacement that better meets the privacy and speech-quality needs of the intended population before full target-demographic deployment. People may also type instead of speaking.
The companion runs today. Phase 2 completes the caregiver experience.
HeartTalk… coming soon.
