At a glance

What is AvenoraCall?

AvenoraCall uses AI to phone your parent each day. You set the call time and choose what to ask about, such as meals.

Talk when your parent has something to say

A scheduled chat asks your parent to fit a call into their day. AvenoraCall uses that model. Tiina lets your parent start the chat when they want it. They open the app and tap the call button.

That helps when a question comes up after breakfast or they feel like talking before bed. There is no need to save the thought for the next planned call. Your parent chooses when to begin.
