Elsy

AI voice companion for aging parents

What it does

Elsy is an AI voice companion for people with early stage dementia/cognitive decline. Your parent talks to Elsy every day for conversation, memory support, and gentle routine. You get a weekly wellbeing summary: mood, engagement, repetition/confusion. Privacy by design: families see trends, never transcripts. iOS and Android, 15+ languages. Most AI companions chase loneliness. Elsy is built for the disease that makes a familiar voice matter most.

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it.
