A little company
A Sunday dinner, a favorite album, the neighbor’s new puppy. Your loved one picks the subject and sets the pace.

“Marla, I heard a song today that took me right back to my first apartment.”
Meet Marla
Some stories are better told on the phone.
Maybe Dad remembers his first car by the sound of its engine. Marla is an AI phone companion designed to ask about the ride, give him time to answer, and follow the story wherever he takes it. All on the phone he already uses.

Everyday calls
What would you call Marla for?
Some calls start with a question. Others start because the house is quiet and there’s a good story to tell.
An everyday question
Ask for an explanation, brainstorm a birthday gift, or figure out what to cook with what’s in the fridge. The whole exchange happens by voice.
See a question
“I have tomatoes, bread, and a bit of cheese. What could I make for lunch?”
Something to look forward to
Talk through what to bring to book club, or try out the question you want to ask when everyone sits down.

“Was there a character you changed your mind about by the end?”
There’s room to interrupt.
Maybe Marla asks about the car and Dad says, “Actually, the best part was who rode shotgun.” That’s where the conversation should go.
We built Marla’s phone connection to make room for moments like that. When the system detects the caller speaking, it clears the audio Marla was about to play. Her instructions are simple: introduce herself as AI, ask one question at a time, and let the caller choose the subject.
