Caring for someone with memory loss?Join the Proxi Pilot Program.

Getting 10, 20, or 30 calls a day for reassurance while you try to work, sleep, or get through your day? The Proxi Pilot Program is a carefully run, early-phase test of a new AI Service that speaks with your memory-impaired loved one in a voice built from your own: your inflections, phrasing, and style, so they hear a familiar, reassuring voice when you cannot be there. We are opening this small, free pilot and looking for a few families to help test the system under close observation for the defined pilot period.

Real time back

That can give you real time back to work, rest, sleep, and be present with your spouse and children.

Close observation

Every conversation is monitored by trained safety staff and AI professionals, who keep you informed of any concerns about your loved one.

About twenty families

Because only 20 families take part, each one gets close, individual attention.

Free during the pilot.

No credit card, no fees. After the pilot ends, the service stays free to you for five years.

Any feature we later charge other families for stays free to you for that period. You helped us build it, so you keep it.

You set the boundaries. You approve the topics, tone, and material before anything reaches your loved one, and you can pause or stop your participation at any time without any penalty.

The pilot requires little time on your part as a caregiver, freeing you, not burdening you further. Our team walks you through a few simple setup steps and asks for a moderate amount of feedback. Not sure whether this is for you? Apply and our staff will help you decide whether the pilot fits.

Screening acknowledgments and submission

These acknowledgments are for screening only. Full informed consent, meaning the later written consent process, and onboarding happen later if the application is accepted.

I understand Proxi may be presented to my loved one as me, by name and in a voice modeled on mine. I understand my loved one may not be told during those calls that the voice is AI. This will be explained before formal consent. I understand the summary about voice recordings, transcripts, and how the AI model is handled for the pilot. I consent to be contacted by Proxi or the recruiting organization for follow-up. I consent to future contact if not selected for the first pilot cohort.

Click each acknowledgement row, read the language, check the certification inside the pop-up, then close it.

About this application

This form is for a small pilot of twenty caregiver and loved-one pairs, recruited with the Ellen Samson organization. "Loved one" means the person you care for.

This is screening only. Submitting does not enroll you. Nothing starts unless you are accepted and then read, ask questions about, and sign an informed consent agreement. Any voice recording happens only after that.

Your privacy. What you share stays inside the screening and pilot review process. Your name and contact details stay with the recruiting organization until you are accepted. Until then, reviewers see an application ID instead of your name, a "blinded application number." Submit once. After you submit, we show your next steps and your application number.

You can also read how the pilot works or why families participate.
