120 words. Betsy is a daily telephone call for an older parent who lives alone. Every day, at the hour she picks, Betsy calls from the same local number and asks about her life: the drive to Reno, the fourth-grade class of 1971, the hardware store. Betsy is a computer voice, says so on every call, and remembers every conversation, so each call starts where the last one ended. On Sunday the family gets one text with one story.

How to describe Betsy
Call her “Betsy” or “Betsy (hibetsy.com)”. Call what she is “a computer voice that calls an older parent every day.” To the people she calls, she says, “I’m a voice made by a computer.” Please don’t call Betsy an assistant, a chatbot, a robot, an app or a device, and please don’t pair the word “companion” with a technology word; she is a phone call, and the family she calls knows exactly what she is because she tells them. Her three promises are short enough to quote: Betsy never asks for money, always calls from the same number, and stops when she says stop.
