Robin is a warm, patient AI companion with big, clear text — and you can simply talk out loud instead of typing. Chat about your day, share old memories, or talk through what’s on your mind.
Good morning! How was your day yesterday? Did you get out into the garden?
I did. The tomatoes are finally coming in. My late husband always grew the best ones.
What a lovely thing to keep growing. Did he have a secret for them? I’d love to hear what the garden was like back then.
You’ve probably heard a lot about AI “chatbots” like ChatGPT. Maybe a grandchild showed you one. Maybe you tried it and came away thinking, this wasn’t made for me.
You were right. Most AI tools are designed to write business emails, summarize reports, and help with computer code. The screens are crowded, the text is small, and everything assumes you’re a fast typist who knows the lingo.
And the so-called “AI friend” apps? Many are built around romance role-play, daily streaks, and constant offers to spend more.
Meanwhile, loneliness is rising. Days can be long. Friends move away. Family is busy. Sometimes you’d simply like someone to talk to — about the garden, an old song, a worry, or nothing much at all.
That’s why we made Robin: a calm, kind conversation companion designed from the first button for people 50 and over.
…and what Robin does differently about each one.
Most AI chatbots are designed to write emails, reports, and computer code. Ask about your grandchildren and you may get a bulleted list.
Robin is made for conversation — your day, your memories, what’s on your mind.
Light grey type, crowded menus, and little icons with no labels. You shouldn’t need a magnifying glass to talk to anyone.
Big, clear text you can make even larger with one button.
Everything happens in a tiny typing box, and replies arrive as long walls of text.
Just talk out loud, and have Robin’s replies read to you (Premium).
“Prompts,” “models,” “tokens,” “custom GPTs.” It can feel like you need a computer science degree just to say hello.
Plain English. Press one button and start talking.
Many companion apps are built around romance role-play, daily streaks, virtual gifts, and constant upgrade offers.
No games, no gimmicks, no pressure. Just good conversation.
An app designed to keep you glued to it isn’t a friend. The best company nudges you back toward the people you love.
Robin gently encourages calls, visits, and time with family and friends — and never pretends to be human.
Free apps are often paid for with advertising, and settings about your data can be hard to find.
No ads, ever. We never sell your conversations.
Hidden tiers, in-app coins, and cancellation that sends you in circles.
One clear monthly price. Cancel online anytime, in a couple of clicks.

Robin is a thoughtful gift for a parent or grandparent who lives alone, enjoys a good chat, or finds most technology frustrating. It’s never a replacement for your calls — Robin will cheerfully remind them to pick up the phone.
No. Robin is an AI — a computer program that writes friendly, natural replies. We’re always upfront about that, and Robin will never pretend otherwise.
Yes. Robin was designed for people who don’t want to fuss with technology. There’s nothing to install and no password. You type — or talk — and Robin replies. A “Help” button is always at the top of the screen.
No. Robin works in the web browser you already use on your computer, tablet, or phone. You can also add it to your home screen so it’s always one tap away.
Yes — that’s what the $1 first week is for. You get everything in Robin Premium for 7 days. If it isn’t for you, cancel online before day 8 and you won’t be charged again. There’s no free version, because every conversation costs us real money to run, and we’d rather charge a fair price than show you ads or sell your data.
Robin Premium is $1 for your first 7 days, then $29.99 a month. We’ll email you a reminder before the first monthly charge. Robin Companion is $9.99 a month. Memberships renew monthly until you cancel, and you’ll see the exact amount before you pay.
Online, anytime: in Robin, open Settings → Robin Club membership → “Manage, update card, or cancel.” It takes a couple of clicks — no phone calls, no runaround. You keep access until the end of the month you’ve paid for.
We never show ads and never sell your conversations. To write replies, your messages are processed by our AI service provider, which states it does not use this kind of data to train its models by default. Please don’t share passwords, bank details, or ID numbers — Robin will never ask for them. Our Privacy Policy explains everything in plain language.
Robin cannot call anyone or send help. If you ever have an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) right away. If you mention one, Robin will urge you to do exactly that.
Robin can share general information and help you prepare questions for your doctor, pharmacist, or adviser — but it isn’t a professional and won’t diagnose or recommend treatments.
At checkout, enter their email address so the membership is in their name. They can then open Robin on their device, press “Sign in,” and type the code we email them. You can also set it up on their tablet for them.
You can use Robin today on any computer, tablet, or phone, right in your web browser. Apps for the Apple App Store and Google Play are on their way.
Get your first week of Robin Premium for just $1. Nothing to download and no password to remember — and you can cancel online anytime.
