US & Canada · by phone · no app
He's never alone. And you always know how he's doing.
Your parent calls one number. Grampai's AI companion books their ride, orders their groceries or prescriptions — or simply keeps them company. Then it sends you a short summary of the call.
No smartphone. No app to install. Nothing for them to learn.

How it works
Three steps. Nothing to install, nothing to charge, nothing to remember.
1. Your parent picks up the phone
They dial one simple number from any phone — a landline, a flip phone, anything. No app, no password, no screen to learn.
2. Grampai answers and helps
Our AI companion greets them by name, listens patiently, and takes care of what they need — or just talks with them for a while.
3. You get a text summary
A few minutes later you receive a short, plain-language recap: what they asked for, how the call went, and anything you should know.
Included, whichever plan you choose
- Unlimited calls to Grampai
- Your parent's own phone number
- Text summaries after every call
- Transfer to a human on request
- Remembered preferences and routines
Rides, groceries and companionship for seniors
Everything your parent used to need help with — plus the company they don't like to ask for.
Rides
A ride to the clinic, the hairdresser or a grandchild's birthday, booked through Uber. Your parent says where they're going — that's it.
- Booked through Uber
- Pickup confirmed out loud
- You're notified when they arrive
Groceries & meals
Their usual grocery order or a hot meal delivered through Uber Eats — including IGA, Jean Coutu and Pharmaprix.
- Remembers their usual list
- Reads the total back before ordering
- Delivery tracked for you
Prescriptions
Prescription pickups arranged and delivered from their pharmacy, so a refill never turns into a missed week of medication.
- Pharmacy delivery arranged
- Gentle refill reminders
- Family alerted if something's off
Companionship
Some days nothing needs ordering — they just want to talk. Grampai listens, remembers their stories, and never rushes them off the line.
- Talks for as long as they like
- Remembers past conversations
- Can call them back on a schedule
Hear it for yourself
This is the same conversation your parent would have on the phone. Press play and listen — a real sample of Pai answering a call.
- Speaks plainly and patiently, one question at a time
- Says it's an AI, every single time it's asked
- Hands the call to a human whenever it's asked
Listen to Pai answer a call
A short sample of a real conversation — no app, just a phone call.
Demo only — nothing is ordered or booked.
Trust and transparency
You're handing us time with someone you love. Here's exactly where the line is.
It always says it's an AI
Grampai introduces itself as an artificial intelligence, every time it's asked and at the start of a first call. We will never let your parent believe they're speaking to a person.
A human is one sentence away
"I'd like to talk to someone." That's all it takes. The call is transferred to a real person — no menus, no waiting on hold.
You see every call
After each conversation you receive a short summary by text or email. No recordings shared without consent, no surprises.
We don't replace you
Grampai is not a substitute for your visits or your phone calls. It's a steady presence in between them, so the quiet days feel less long.
Simple, honest pricing
Two monthly subscriptions: one for the concierge line, one that fits how much they like to talk.
Rides & deliveries
$3 flat fee$18.99/month
Plus $3 per completed ride or delivery
The subscription gives them the concierge phone line, ready whenever they need it. Each ride or delivery is then just $3 on top of the real Uber or Uber Eats price, never marked up. Most concierge services charge by the minute to book a ride (often $4–5+ per trip) or add hidden markups on groceries. You always know the exact cost before we book it.
Charged per transaction, never per minute.
Companionship
The only thing billed by time — because it's the only part where Pai actually talks with them.
$29.99/month
Chatty — ~180 min/month of talking
For parents who love to talk. Pai is available every day for longer conversations — stories, memories, the news, or just background company.
A quiet week costs nothing extra. A chatty week is already covered by your plan.
One clear monthly statement, sent to the family member managing the account.
Families are already calling
What the daughters, sons and grandkids managing the account have to say.
“I set Grampai up for my mother, 84, who lives alone in Laval. She calls it for her groceries every Thursday and I get the recap text before I've even finished my coffee. It's one less thing to worry about.”
“Dad refused a smartphone, refused everything. But he picks up the phone — that he knows. The first week he booked his own ride to the cardiologist and called me, proud, to tell me about it.”
“Honestly I signed up for the rides. What surprised me is the talking. My father now has a standing morning call and it remembers his stories better than I do. He seems lighter.”
“The summaries are what sold me. After every call I know exactly what was ordered, what it cost, and how she sounded. No surprises on the bill, no surprises about her week.”
Why Grampai exists
Most adult children we talk to say the same thing: “I call when I can, but the days in between are long for her.” Between visits, small things pile up — a ride that's too complicated to book, groceries that don't get ordered, a prescription that runs out. And underneath all of it, hours of silence.
Loneliness in later life isn't a small inconvenience. Public health researchers link chronic isolation to worse health outcomes, and early AI-companion programs for seniors — like the ElliQ deployment run with the New York State Office for the Aging — have reported large drops in self-reported loneliness among participants.
We built Grampai on one idea: the help should come through the one device every senior already knows how to use — the telephone. No screen, no app, no learning curve. Just a patient voice that picks up, takes care of what's needed, and lets you know how it went.
We'll never claim to replace a daughter, a son, or a Sunday visit. We're here for the hours in between.
Questions families ask us
The honest answers, in plain language.
Is there a ride service for seniors who don't use apps?
Yes. With Grampai, your parent simply calls one phone number and asks for a ride. Our AI companion books it through Uber, confirms the pickup out loud, and lets the family know when they've arrived. No smartphone, no app, nothing to learn.
How does grocery and meal delivery for seniors work?
Your parent calls and says what they need — their usual grocery list or a hot meal. Grampai orders it through Uber Eats (including IGA, Jean Coutu and Pharmaprix), reads the total back before ordering, and tracks the delivery. Prescription pickups can be arranged the same way.
What is a companionship call service?
It's a friendly voice your parent can call just to talk. Grampai's AI companion listens patiently, remembers their stories and preferences, and can even call them back on a schedule — a steady presence between family visits.
Does my parent need a smartphone or internet?
No. Grampai works from any phone — a landline, a flip phone, anything that can make a call. There is no app to install, no password, and no screen to learn.
Will my parent know they're talking to an AI?
Always. Grampai introduces itself as an artificial intelligence at the start of a first call and every time it's asked. We will never let your parent believe they're speaking to a person — and the call can be transferred to a human at any time.
How much does Grampai cost?
Two simple prices: $18.99/month for the concierge line plus a flat $3 per completed ride or delivery (on top of the real Uber or Uber Eats price, never marked up), and $29.99/month for companionship calling. The family receives one clear monthly statement.
