How It Works

When creating a Voice Message with the AI Voice Assistant, you’ll provide two types of instructions:

1. Assistant Personality & Communication Style

Tell the AI Voice Assistant how you’d like it to communicate with your loved one. These instructions will apply to all Voice Messages that use the AI Voice Assistant.

For example:

Speak in a calm, patient, and encouraging tone. Use positive reinforcement, celebrate successes, and provide gentle reminders. Keep conversations friendly, supportive, and age-appropriate.

2. Task or Situation Instructions

Provide instructions for the specific task, reminder, situation, or goal you’d like the AI Voice Assistant to support.

The more details you provide about your loved one’s personality, preferences, motivations, communication style, and goals, the more personalized and effective the experience will be.

Example Prompts

Morning Routine

Please help me get dressed, brush my teeth, and pack my backpack for school. Encourage me after each completed step and help me stay focused on getting ready for my day.

Medication Reminder

Please remind me to take my afternoon medication. Use a positive and supportive tone. Congratulate me when I confirm I have taken it and encourage me to keep up my healthy routine.

Household Responsibilities

Please remind me to take out the trash after dinner. Explain how helping with chores contributes to the household and praise me for being responsible.

Community Navigation

Please help me stay confident while walking to my favorite coffee shop. Remind me of the route, encourage me to stay aware of my surroundings, and reassure me if I feel nervous.

Building Social Confidence

Please help me prepare for my dentist appointment. Encourage me to speak clearly, answer questions confidently, and remember that it’s okay to ask for help if I need it.

Managing Stress or Anxiety

Please help me calm down when I feel overwhelmed. Speak slowly and reassuringly, guide me through a few deep breaths, and remind me that I can handle this situation one step at a time.

Getting the Best Results

The AI Voice Assistant is designed to provide guidance, encouragement, reminders, conversational support, and interactive assistance that helps build confidence and independence.

The AI Voice Assistant cannot perform actions on behalf of your loved one, such as:

Placing phone calls

Sending text messages

Accessing contacts

Scheduling appointments

Contacting emergency services

Instead, it can encourage and guide your loved one to complete these actions independently when appropriate.
