Saathi, the phone your parent can simply talk to
Saathi presents Pip, a voice-based Android companion for older adults that understands Hindi, Hinglish, and English while giving family members control over risky actions.
Field notes
Pip is presented as a voice layer for an existing Android phone rather than a separate device or app workflow. The examples cover calls, photo and document retrieval, memory prompts, WhatsApp instruction, medication updates, and family approvals. Saathi says actions leaving the phone are read back for consent, while a ₹7,500 transfer is held because it exceeds a family-set ₹5,000 limit. The homepage also describes Hindi, Hinglish, and English support and offers early access for 2026.
