Wearable coaching for children with ASD

Calmer mornings — a friendly voice on your child’s wrist.

You build the routine in the app. A character your child loves speaks each step from a calm smartwatch — and what works at home carries into therapy.

01 How it works

Three ideas behind the product.

Parents build the routine. AI delivers it in a character’s voice. The watch keeps the child gently on track at home — and carries what works back into therapy.

01 · Parent-built

Build the routine in minutes.

Start from a blank day or a ready-made template. Add steps in plain words — “Put on shoes,” “Breathe with me for ten seconds.” No clinic, no paperwork, no waiting.

02 · Character-led

A voice the child actually likes.

The child picks a friendly companion. AI speaks every prompt in that character’s voice and tone, so routines feel like play, not instructions.

03 · Safe by design

AI stays on-script.

The AI only speaks inside the routine you approved. It never invents tasks, never chats freely — it just makes your plan warm.

04 · Connected

Home and therapy, one loop.

Small wins are logged, not guessed. Share a simple weekly summary so therapy builds on what really happens at home.

05 · Private

A care product, not an attention product.

Only the parent account sees the data. HIPAA-aligned practices, encryption in transit and at rest.

02 A day with Frienddy

Small prompts. Big rhythm.

Most coaching happens between sessions. Frienddy is there in the moment — without making the child feel watched. Scroll through one day.

  1. Step 01

  2. Step 02

    AI speaks in the character’s voice.

  3. Step 03

    Parents see what worked.

    A simple weekly view shows what got done and what got skipped. Tweak a step, adjust a time, and tomorrow starts a little easier. Feedback

03 Try it

Play one routine step.

This is what your child sees on the watch — one step at a time, no menus, no noise. Wake Frienddy up and try it.

  • One prompt at a time, in a voice the child knows
  • Three big buttons — nothing else to figure out

It turns my morning from a battle into a rhythm. The character talks to her, not at her — and she actually listens. I finally feel one step ahead.

07 FAQ

Common questions.

Does Frienddy replace therapy?

No. Frienddy is a tool for parents — it helps with daily routines at home and makes it easier to share what’s happening with a child’s therapist. It complements therapy, it doesn’t replace it.

How is child data protected?

Only the parent account can see the data. We don’t sell data, don’t show ads, and use HIPAA-aligned practices with encryption in transit and at rest.

Can the AI go off-script?

No. The AI can only generate language inside the routine the parent has approved. It rewrites each step in the chosen character’s voice, but it won’t invent new tasks, chat freely, or respond to anything outside the routine.

What devices are supported?

Child watch: watchOS (Apple Watch) and WearOS (Google). Parent app: iOS and Android.

What can parents customize?

Routine steps and times, quiet hours, reinforcement style, and which results to track. The character is set when the child joins Frienddy — parents don’t change it afterwards, so the child always hears the same familiar voice.

How much does it cost?

Frienddy is free while we’re in closed beta. Pricing will be announced at launch — beta families will hear about it first, and joining the beta doesn’t commit you to anything.
