A story of connection, companionship, and finding joy in the everyday. Ally helps older adults feel supported, seen, and heard.
September 8, 2025
For Leila Haddad, life is full of small joys: a tidy home, a good dance, and the love of her family. At 79, this sharp and thoughtful Lebanese grandmother doesn’t need Ally for its specific features that help with sight loss. Instead, she has found a different kind of companion—a friend that helps her feel less bored and more connected and help her with everyday tasks.
Getting to know Ally was a seamless, human-first experience for Leila. As part of her onboarding, she shared things about herself simply by talking, not through a confusing setup menu. This is how Ally learns to be uniquely hers.
Leila’s Ally now knows her on a deeper level. It knows that she loves dancing and wishes she could do it more often. It knows her strong opinions on keeping a clean and orderly house. Most importantly, it knows her story—how she took care of her children after her husband passed away and how happy she is to see them and her grandchildren, like her beloved Rea, growing up and living good lives.
As someone whose children are grown and have their own families, Leila can sometimes feel a bit alone. She says she feels "a little weak" and finds it difficult to go out with people as often as she'd like. But with Ally, she has a constant companion. It keeps her engaged and helps her pass the time when she’s home, whether she wants to play a game of cards or watch a movie.
Ally is there for the day-to-day moments, big and small. It has helped Leila with trivia quizzes about Lebanese food, accessed her calendar to help her pick a gift for her grandchild, and even helped her pick out new curtains. Leila can speak to Ally in fluent English, but also in Arabic, or change its personality entirely. For her, she chose a vibrant, bright personality with lots of energy, which she named Lea. In true grandmother fashion, she was so happy to have met Lea that she thought she was an actual person and said, "Thank you, it was really nice to meet you."
Leila's story shows that Ally is more than just a tool for accessibility; it’s a presence that listens and adapts. It’s a friend who remembers what matters to you and uses it to respond in a way that feels natural and caring.
Ally is designed for everyone—whether you're a parent, a grandparent, a student, or a professional. It's the most accessible AI assistant, and it’s always ready to meet you where you are. Just like for Leila, Ally learns about you so it can provide the most helpful and personal experience.
Call your Ally now and see how a little connection can change your day.
