Tomte is a voice companion for older adults and people with cognitive impairments. It listens, remembers, and watches over your loved ones — so they never feel alone.
Named after the caring household spirits of Scandinavian folklore, Tomte is an AI companion that lives on a simple tablet. No buttons to press, no screens to navigate — just a warm, patient voice that's always ready to talk.
Every feature works through natural conversation. Your loved one simply speaks, and Tomte listens and responds — no tapping, swiping, or typing required.
Tomte remembers names, stories, preferences, and important details from past conversations. It builds a gentle, growing understanding of each person it cares for.
Even without an internet connection, Tomte keeps working. It switches seamlessly to an offline mode — the conversation never stops.
Every feature in Tomte was built around one question: how do we help older adults feel safe, connected, and valued?
Powered by advanced speech-to-speech AI, Tomte carries on real, flowing conversations. It can reminisce about the past, discuss the news, tell stories, or simply keep company.
Tomte never forgets. It stores memories of conversations, family names, favorite topics, and life stories — creating a deeply personal experience that grows richer over time.
Family members can share photos through the caregiver portal or connect Google Photos and iCloud. Tomte can talk about the photos, helping bring back treasured memories.
Medication times, appointments, daily routines — Tomte delivers reminders in a warm, conversational way that feels like a friendly nudge, not an alarm.
Audio is never stored after a conversation ends. All personal data is encrypted with dedicated keys. When a user leaves, their data can be permanently and irreversibly erased.
If the internet goes out, Tomte switches to a built-in offline system with no interruption. The same warm personality, no matter the connection.
Getting Tomte set up for your loved one takes just a few steps.
Place the tablet somewhere comfortable — a bedside table, a kitchen counter, a favorite chair. Tomte runs on standard iPads and Android tablets.
As a caregiver, you'll fill out a brief profile: your loved one's name, family members, favorite topics, daily routine, and any health information Tomte should know.
That's it. Your loved one simply says hello, and the conversation begins. No passwords, no logins, no menus. Just a friendly voice, ready to chat.
Tomte watches over your loved one with a quiet, always-on safety system that alerts you when something seems wrong.
If your loved one mentions pain, a fall, or feeling unwell, Tomte immediately and silently notifies you via text message and push notification.
Tomte can gently check in at scheduled times. If your loved one doesn't respond, you'll be notified so you can follow up.
If the primary caregiver doesn't acknowledge an alert, Tomte automatically reaches out to backup contacts. Alerts never go unanswered.
Every safety alert is sent through multiple channels — SMS and push notifications — to make sure the message gets through.
Tomte never tells your loved one that an alert was sent, avoiding unnecessary worry or anxiety.
A simple browser-based dashboard that puts you in control. No app to install — it works on any phone, tablet, or computer.
Walk through a guided setup to tell Tomte about your loved one — their history, family, interests, and daily needs.
See all safety alerts at a glance. Configure which situations trigger alerts and who gets notified.
Upload photos, connect cloud albums, and add captions that help Tomte talk about the people and places in each picture.
