PROOF OF CONCEPT

A calm voice that keeps the morning on track.

A caregiver builds the routine. The person they care for hears one gentle prompt at a time and confirms each step in their own way. A small companion on a lanyard keeps the voice with them even when the phone is left on the counter.

Time to brush your teeth.

Say "Omi, done" or press your button when you finish.

I need more time

Three parts, one routine

The caregiver and the patient always see the same moment from two sides. This site shows both at once so the difference is obvious, not explained.

Caregiver app

Pick routines from the library, order the steps, and put them on the calendar by date and time. Watch the routine unfold live, and read the report afterward.

Schedule builder

Omi app (patient)

One step on screen at a time, spoken calmly, with a big Done button and an honest "I need more time." Nothing flashes, nothing gets louder.

Patient phone

Companion pendant

Speaker, mic, one button, Bluetooth to the phone. It hangs on a lanyard so the voice stays with the person, and the phone can stay wherever it was left.

Hardware concept

More than one caregiver, more than one place

A day has windows. Each window has a caregiver on duty and its own schedule, and notifications follow the window. The primary caregiver can change anything at any time.

Coverage windows and handoffs

Mom, 6 to 8

Ms. Rivera at school, 8 to 3, classroom schedule

Grandma, 3 to 6:30

Mom and Dad

At 8:00 the educator takes over with a distinct schedule and gets the handoff note ("morning done, teeth took 3 repeats"). Each caregiver sees only their window. A gap with nobody on duty falls to the primary.

Care team and coverage

Over the maximum: the caregiver decides

Brush teeth is over its 5 minute maximum (7:20) Push to next step +5 min

Every step has a target and a maximum. Past the maximum, the caregiver on duty gets a notification with two choices. Pushing tells Omi to move on ("Mom says that is okay for now") and the report marks the step as pushed, not done. Unanswered for 5 minutes, it goes to the primary too.

Try it in the walkthrough

Pairing and unpairing pendants

Hold the button until it blinks, match the three digit code it speaks, done. A pendant binds to one phone, one is active at a time, and spares wait in the backpack. Only the primary caregiver can pair or unpair, and a lost pendant can be unpaired remotely so it stops responding.

Device screen

Adults who are both

Self mode puts the caregiver controls and the patient view on the same phone. An adult builds their own routines, confirms their own steps, and reads their own reports. A backup person can be told only when a step runs far past its maximum, without seeing the routine itself.

Self mode

The part that can go wrong

What counts as "done"?

Omi asks a question and waits for an answer. A child says "yes" to their mom across the room, and a naive app clears the task. Every false clear makes the report lie and the caregiver stop trusting it. So Omi does not treat speech as a confirmation unless it is clearly addressed to Omi and about the step.

This is the space where the real product lives, and the walkthrough lets you try the failure case directly.

Try the false "yes"

1. The button is the truth

One press on the pendant or Done on the phone always clears the step. Speech is a convenience layered on top, never the only path.

2. Addressed replies only

"Omi, done" or "Omi, teeth are brushed" clears. A bare "yes," "okay," or "yeah" is logged as an acknowledgement and Omi answers: "Great. Press your button when your teeth are brushed."

3. A short listening window

Omi listens for 8 seconds after it speaks, then stops. Nothing said outside that window is interpreted, and the pendant shows a soft light while it is listening so the person knows.

4. Calm cadence, then a person

Repeat every 90 seconds at the same volume with shorter wording. After the third repeat the caregiver gets a quiet nudge. Omi never escalates to an alarm.

5. Important steps need two

The caregiver can mark a step (medication, inhaler) as "double confirm": press, then Omi asks once more and waits for a second press.

6. Ambiguity is data

Every unaddressed reply, every "more time," every repeat is recorded. That is what makes the report useful instead of a list of checkmarks.

Example: a school morning

Routines come from a shared library and are scheduled by date and time. The caregiver sets the target for each step; Omi only speaks when a step is due.

6:45Wake upLights on slowly, Omi says good morning.

Reports that change the schedule

For each step: time from first prompt to confirmation, number of repeats, and how the step was cleared. Quick steps can be tightened, slow steps can get more time or be split, and false-clear risks show up as ambient acknowledgements.
