A little less checking.
A lot more being family.

Vini takes the routine things off your plate: a good morning to your parents, reminders at the right hour, and a nudge when something needs you. All inside WhatsApp or Telegram.

The real reason Vini exists

Because every call shouldn't start with "Did youโ€ฆ?"

"Did you take your medicine? Did you eat? Did you go for your walk?"

Those questions matter. But when they become the whole relationship, something gets lost. Vini takes care of the repetitive checking so your calls can feel like calls again.

Questions families ask

Does my parent need to install anything?

No. Your parent replies to Vini on WhatsApp or Telegram, the same way they reply to you. Nothing to install, nothing to charge, nothing to learn.

What happens if my parent doesn't reply to a check-in?

If a check-in goes unanswered for an hour, or your parent says they're not feeling well, Vini lets the family know. You hear about it within the hour, not days later.

Can Vini read a prescription from a photo?

Yes. Send a clear photo and Vini reads the medicine, dose and timing, then reads the reminder plan back to you. Nothing is saved until you say yes. If the photo can't be read reliably, Vini asks you to type it or send a clearer picture.

Can my parent send voice notes instead of typing?

Yes. Voice notes work on WhatsApp and Telegram. Vini listens, checks anything unclear, and confirms before adding a reminder.

Is Vini a medical or emergency service?

No. Vini is a small layer of everyday support around your family. It reminds, checks in, and nudges the right person. It does not replace doctors, caregivers, or emergency services.

Which countries does HeyVini work in?

The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, most of Europe, the UAE, Australia, New Zealand, and much of Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, India, Japan and South Korea. Reminders are sent in your parent's own local time.

How much does it cost?

The Free plan includes daily check-ins on Telegram and web chat with a nudge to family. The Family plan is $9 a month, free for the first 6 months for a limited period, and adds up to 4 members, unlimited tasks and reminders, WhatsApp, and family contacts.
