RammyYour voice assistant

For someone living alone

She can talk to the television.

Rammy is a private, voice-first companion for an older adult at home. It runs on an everyday Windows PC or Mac connected to the TV. No special graphics card. No cloud AI. No recording.

See how it works

Not a medical device. Rammy is not a replacement for emergency services, a doctor, or a person nearby. It does not call 911. In an emergency, call 911.

The home screen: Watch TV, My Meds, Call Family, and Help. Every button works by voice. The ram in the corner wears a headset.

How it works

Three steps. The TV she already watches.

  1. 1

    Connect a computer

    A Windows PC or a Mac, plugged into the television, with a webcam. No special graphics card.

  2. 2

    She uses her voice

    Watch TV, My Meds, Call Family, and Help all listen. She can say “Rammy” anytime.

  3. 3

    Family hears back

    If she does not answer “are you okay?”, Rammy alerts the family. A missed medicine sends a message too.

What Rammy does

Big buttons. A quiet computer in the house.

Watch TV

The television stays the center of the room. If Rammy needs to ask a question, it pauses the TV, then she can go back to the show.

My Meds

Rammy speaks the reminder. If a dose is missed, family is texted. Family can update medicines from Rammy Alerts, and the change is kept in a history.

Call Family

Video calls with family are free. She says who to call. An incoming call can answer on the TV by itself, so she does not have to find a button.

Help

A webcam, and optional inexpensive Wi-Fi cameras, watch for a fall or an arm wave. Rammy asks, “are you okay?” No answer, and the family is alerted. Video is never recorded. It can miss something. It does not call 911.

My Health

Heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, and oxygen. She can say the numbers, or family can enter them. Fitbit support is planned for later. The screen says it is not medical advice.

It remembers

What she tells Rammy stays on the home computer. There is a family setup page on that same computer.

Built for my mom

After a fall at home.

I built Rammy after my mom fell and broke her hip. She lived alone. I wanted the television she already watches to notice, to ask if she was okay, and to reach the family if she did not answer.

Rammy is that companion. It is not a nurse, and it is not a promise that someone will always be caught. It is an extra voice in the house, on hardware a family can actually buy.

Privacy

Her home stays her home.

  • At home

    The companion runs on the computer in the house. No cloud AI.

  • No recording

    The webcam and the extra cameras are not saved as video. Rammy does not keep a recording of the room.

  • Family gets a message

    An alert is a message to the people she chooses, not a video of the room. Calls and alerts need the internet. The privacy policy says what leaves the house.

What you need

Ordinary gear. Low cost.

Rammy does not need a special camera system or a graphics card.

  • A Windows PC or a Mac, on the TV The computer you already have is enough. No special GPU.
  • A C922-class webcam So Rammy can see a fall or a wave for help in that room.
  • Wyze Cam v3 or Tapo C110, optional Inexpensive Wi-Fi cameras for other rooms, about $20 to $30 each.
  • A mini PC, optional Only if the room with the television does not already have a computer.

Family and nurses

Rammy Alerts is already live.

The phone app rings for calls and alerts. It can call home, show vitals, keep a visitor list, and update medicines. The home companion itself is on the waitlist.
