You can't call
every day.
We can.
It's the AI everyone's talking about — but your mum or dad doesn't need an app, a smartphone, or to type a word. Alongside simply calls them for a warm chat and sends you a short, plain-English note after every call.

Margaret says: “Tell Sarah the roses are finally out.”
Sound familiar?
The worry doesn't stop just because
you're busy.
She says she's fine.
Parents protect their kids from worry. A friendly chat, and a short note to you afterwards, keeps you closer to her week.
You're far away.
You can't visit every week. You want to know she's okay, not just assume. The anxiety never fully goes away.
The quiet days add up.
You ring on Sunday. Six days pass, and nobody else does. The gap is the bit that gets to you.
How Alongside works
Simple to set up. Powerful from day one.
We call most days
A warm, friendly AI — the kind of natural conversation you'd get from ChatGPT — calls your parent at the same time, most days. A real chat, not a checklist. Nothing for them to set up or learn. Most people look forward to it.
We write you a short note
After each call we tell you what they talked about — how they seemed, whether they mentioned their tablets — and we let you know if they didn't pick up.
You get the summary
Your dashboard updates after every call. If anything needs your attention, we alert you by email straight away — and by SMS if you've added your mobile.

Early access
We're building this with our first families.
Alongside is new — and we'd rather tell you that honestly than invent reviews. We're a small Australian team building this alongside our own ageing parents, because we live the same worry you do.
Right now we're looking for a handful of families to be the first to use Alongside, shape it, and tell us what their mum or dad actually needs. If that's you, your feedback will build the product.
