A virtual assistant that helps you build deeper connections with the people you really care about.
Why this matters
Dunbar's other number
Robin Dunbar discovered that humans can only maintain about 150 relationships. The same research found that we need 20 deep connections and 5 who you could rely on in a crisis. The average American only has 2.[1]
Disconnected
Constant availability gives the illusion of connection. Online shopping, on-demand streaming, and working from home all corrode opportunities for human interaction. Millennials are four times lonelier than seniors.[2]
Health and wellbeing
Human connection, a sense of belonging and community is the strongest determinant of a persons wellbeing. How we live defines how long we live. Neglecting relationships is as bad for your health as 15 cigarettes a day.[3]
To have a better friend you need to be one.
