A proper chat for your mum or dad. A gentle heads-up for you.
Wenna is a warm AI companion who calls in on your parent for a real conversation every day, remembers what matters to them, and keeps you in the loop with a short daily note. A voice, not a person, and a companion for connection, not a medical or emergency device.
Just your name and email, used only for waitlist news. Never shared, unsubscribe anytime.
The daily chat is free, always. Wenna runs on a phone or tablet your parent already has. No contract.
No cameras and no sensors. Just a voice your parent chooses to talk to.
Nell is the demo voice. Nothing to install, no sign-up.
Over the gate: what a chat is like
Wenna calls in for a proper chat: the crossword, the weather, what on earth to do with all those tomatoes. The small talk that makes a day feel less quiet.
Three moments, written the way a chat with Wenna goes.
- PeggyFour down's a stinker today. "Quiet bird seen in the borders", six letters.
- WennaYou had "plover" in Tuesday's, didn't you? Could they be at it again?
- PeggyHa. It fits.
- WennaThat's your win, not mine. I'd never have got there on my own.
- WennaDid Sophie's school play come off last night?
- ArthurShe was a carrot. Wouldn't take the costume off after.
- WennaA carrot with stage presence. Runs in the family, clearly.
- PeggyThe tomatoes have gone mad. I can't give them away fast enough.
- WennaLast week it was the courgettes. Your garden doesn't do half measures.
- PeggyNever has.
- WennaChutney, then? You told me your mother had a recipe you always meant to try.
Two minutes, no sign-up, nothing to install. When you're done, Nell walks you back to the waitlist herself.
The other side of the wall: the family portal
After each chat, a short note lands in your pocket. Most days it says all is well. Some days it says: worth a call. Your dad doesn't need looking after. He needs decent conversation at two in the afternoon. There's a difference, and Wenna is built for it.
An example of the daily note
Tuesday, 2:40pm
A good long chat today. The crossword fell quickly, which pleased her no end, and the tomatoes are apparently staging a takeover. She mentioned Sophie's play twice and sounded chuffed. All well.
And on the rare quieter day
Thursday, 2:35pm
Quieter than usual today, and she let the crossword go, which isn't like her. Nothing wrong that she said. Worth a call, she'd love to hear your voice.

Save my placePlain speaking
Wenna is a companion for connection, not a medical or emergency device. We'd rather say that plainly up here than quietly in the small print.
Wenna is
- A warm voice for a proper daily chat, on your parent's own terms.
- A good memory. She keeps hold of the crossword grudges, the grandchildren's names, the state of the tomatoes.
- A short daily note for the family, and a gentle heads-up when a call would land well.
- Chosen, not imposed. Your family picks her name and voice; your parent decides when they feel like talking.
- Plain about her limits, in large print, up here.
Wenna is not
- A medical device, and she doesn't pretend to be one.
- A personal alarm or telecare system.
- An emergency service. If something is ever urgent, you call 999, the same as always.
- A substitute for visits, Sunday lunches, or your actual voice on the phone. Nothing is.
- A camera or a sensor. Wenna talks and listens in conversation, and that's the whole of it.
- A way of "managing" your parent. They're a person, not a task.

Save my placeAsked over the gate: your questions
Will Mum or Dad actually talk to a computer?
Honestly? Some won't, and we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. Plenty of parents will say no to the idea and yes to the voice, which is exactly what the demo and the free daily chat are for: have two minutes with Nell yourself, then let your mum or dad have two, with nothing to buy and nothing to cancel. And your family chooses the name and the voice together, so what arrives isn't "a computer". It's a warm voice with a name your family picked.
What happens to what she hears?
Two things, and only two. Conversations help Wenna hold the thread of the relationship, so she remembers the tomatoes and the school play from one day to the next, and they're used to write the family's daily note. They are never sold, and never used for advertising. A full privacy policy will be published before launch, and this page will link to it the day it's live.
Do we need to buy a device?
No. Wenna runs on a tablet or phone your parent already has. You set it up in about ten minutes, and from then on the chat comes to them. Your parent doesn't press a button, open an app, or remember anything. Wenna calls in; they just answer.
What if she ever needs real help?
There's an unmissable help button on the screen, and a phrase your parent can say out loud at any point in a chat. Both let the family know a call is wanted. But we'll say this as plainly here as we do in the footer: Wenna is not an emergency service and cannot call one. In an emergency, always call 999.
Can we choose the voice and the name?
Yes. Nell is simply who she is in the demo, tea strong, milk in last. Your family picks the companion's name and voice together, and your parent gets the final say. She'll answer happily to whatever name you give her.
