Everyday reasons to talk

A story. A question.
A favourite team.

Connection doesn’t always start with a big conversation. A favourite team, a remembered story or a shared interest can open the door.

Warmth, clarity, independence and respect guide every company and product decision.

A few things worth knowing

Good questions.
Clear answers.

How does Tellie protect the privacy of conversations?

Privacy, dignity and control over what is shared are central to Tellie’s design.

Your loved one’s conversations are not shared as recordings or full transcripts with family members or care teams. Tellie uses automated processing to identify relevant information your loved one has shared that could help others offer support.

For example, your loved one might explicitly mention sleeping poorly, having a sore back or feeling worried about downsizing. A relevant insight can help you understand what is happening and offer a thoughtful call, visit or support. These are shared observations—not diagnoses.

With the appropriate consent and permissions, relevant insights are shared with authorised family members or care teams—not the full conversation—so they can be there when your loved one needs them most. Access follows each person’s role and current permissions.

Does the price include both apps?

Yes. Your family plan includes Tellie for your covered loved one or loved ones, plus Tellie Family for their authorised family circles. The organiser manages the subscription in Tellie Family; your loved one uses Tellie for conversation.

Can my siblings join without paying again?

Yes. Each loved one can have up to five family accounts: one organiser and four invited viewers. Invited viewers do not need their own subscription to join that circle. Each account needs the appropriate approval and permissions; an invitation alone does not unlock private information.

How much conversation is included?

Each covered loved one has their own monthly conversation allowance. We’re finalising the launch allowance; the confirmed amount and renewal period must be shown in Tellie Family before you subscribe. The plan is not advertised as unlimited conversation.

Does everyone in the family see the same information?

Not necessarily. Access follows each person’s role and current permissions. Shared family updates do not include private conversation transcripts. Paying for a plan does not override your loved one’s permissions.

Are concern notifications available on every phone?

Not yet confirmed for launch. Concern updates and push delivery are enabled only after the matching release, platform and device checks are approved. Where available, notifications also depend on device settings and current permissions. Tellie may not detect every concern and is not an emergency-monitoring service.

Does my loved one have to manage the technology or payment?

No. The family member starts in Tellie Family, manages the subscription and helps set up the separate Tellie app with their loved one’s approval. The older adult can focus on the conversation.

What can family members see?

Only the information their current permissions allow. Tellie shares relevant interests, insights and summaries—not private conversation transcripts. Your loved one’s approval matters, and payment alone does not grant permission.

Do I pay again if a care home funds access?

Not for the same facility-funded access. Ask the care home whether your loved one is included and use its approved invitation or activation route, rather than buying a separate private plan.

How do family subscriptions work?

Family subscriptions are purchased in Tellie Family through the applicable app store. Review the plan, price, renewal and cancellation terms before confirming. The one-loved-one and two-loved-ones plans refer to the people using Tellie, not how many relatives you have.

Does Tellie replace family, carers or medical support?

No. Tellie is a companionship product. It supports connection but does not replace human relationships, diagnose or treat conditions, or provide an emergency service. Information may be incomplete, and notifications are not a guarantee of a human response.

For your loved one

A familiar voice.
A stronger family connection.

Give your loved one a place to talk—and your family a shared way to stay close.
