About
I’m building an AI-powered voice companion that can talk, listen, remember, and respond with emotional awareness. It’s designed for people—especially elders—who just want a human-like voice that understands them.
Impact
Loneliness is a silent epidemic. HearMe offers emotional presence at scale—reducing isolation, calming anxiety, and giving people a voice that listens back. Even a one-minute call can change how someone feels.
Progress
I’ve validated the idea through personal experience and conversations with others who struggle with loneliness. I’ve outlined the MVP, emotional tone system, and storytelling flow, and I’m currently learning the tech stack needed to build it.
Team
This project comes from lived experience. I know what it feels like to need a voice and have none. I’m committed to learning the technology and building HearMe step by step, with care, transparency, and real human feedback.
