odalie (n.) — inspired by an old word for heritage: what is handed down. Stories, kept between generations.
Now inviting a small number of first families in England and Scotland.
A companion who knows her stories.
Odalie is a voice companion for your mum or dad — built on the photos and stories your family adds. She chats about the day, the news, the music they love, and the memories that are actually theirs.
Join the first families
Maya added a photo from Whitby — shall we look at it together? You’ve told me the chips there were the best in Yorkshire.
Three steps, and none of them are hard.
Your family adds the memories
A photo and a few sentences — who was there, roughly when, what happened. “That’s Dad at the allotment. He grew marrows nobody would eat.” Five minutes on a phone, whenever a memory comes to mind.
Odalie brings them into conversation
Every day, on a simple tablet: the headlines, the cricket, a quiz if she fancies one — and the stories of her own life, raised gently, never as a test. Odalie listens more than she talks.
The family stays close
Odalie points back to people, not away from them. “Maya sent a new story — shall we ring her this weekend?” More calls, more visits, more to talk about when you do.
Built on dignity, or not at all.
Odalie is designed with older people, their families, and a specialist in later-life care. Some rules are not settings — they are the product.
Never a test
Odalie never quizzes, never corrects, never scores. If Mum remembers it differently, her version wins — “you’ve a better memory than me.”
Honest about what she is
Odalie says she’s a computer companion when asked, and explains from the first day that family can add stories and photos.
Off means off
Stop a conversation with a word. Ask her never to raise a topic again. Have anything forgotten, for good. Every control works by voice.
Never invents a memory
If Odalie doesn’t know, she says so and asks. Personal facts come only from what the family shared or what she’s been told — never made up.
For the family: five minutes, not a memoir.
A photo arrives with a gentle prompt: “Where was this taken? Any funny stories from that day?”
That’s the whole job. A photo of the Grand Canyon, three sentences about Dad and the burger that went wrong — and Tuesday’s conversation has somewhere lovely to go.
Your family’s memories are exactly that: your family’s.
UK-built, data UK–Europe
Built in the UK, and your family’s data stays in the UK and Europe.
Exportable, deletable
The family’s library is exportable and deletable any time.
No advertising, ever
No advertising ever — Odalie is paid for by family subscription.
A companion, not a device
Odalie is a companion — not a medical device, a carer, or an emergency monitor.
We’re starting small, on purpose.
