Good morning, Claire.

This is Cora. How did you sleep?

How check-in conversations work

  1. You set the schedule

    You pick the days and times at your loved one's local time, any time of day. You can pause a check-in without deleting it.

  2. Cora talks with them for up to 10 minutes

    Cora asks short questions, waits for each answer, and does not rush your loved one. They can skip any question. Cora remembers what they shared before, like the garden or a grandchild's game, and asks about it. You choose one of 6 voices and a slower, normal, or faster pace.

  3. Appointments on the same call

    Add an upcoming doctor visit, and Cora mentions it on calls in the days before. Cora names the time, the place, and who is taking them. There is no separate appointment call.

  4. You get a short summary

    After the call, you read how they are and what they talked about. If they do not pick up, Kinse tries once more. If Kinse still cannot reach them, you get an alert.
