This new AI assistant makes AI easier for people 65+ — no app or prompts required
Ask Proxy helps people over 65 use AI through simple text messages, with no app to download or complicated prompts to learn.
Ask Proxy is an AI assistant designed to simplify AI usage for seniors 65 and older. It functions entirely through text messages, eliminating the need to download an app or learn complex prompts. Users save Proxy’s phone number (820-732-2625) in their phone and text "Start" to begin. The setup process is brief, lasting under 20 minutes as it asks about personal interests, preferences, and decision-making habits.
Users can connect their calendar, though it’s optional. Once logged in, users can chat with Proxy just like they would a friend, sending text, photos, or voice messages. Unlike other AI assistants, Proxy anticipates needs based on shared information and calendar data. It can remind users about events, suggest restaurant bookings, or propose holiday plans.
Proxy does not sell or share personal information, unlike other personalized AI assistants. While it’s more expensive than alternatives, its simplicity and peace of mind make it appealing for seniors who want to try AI without the hassle of complex setups.
