Our Manifesto

For too long, technology has left older adults behind. Interfaces get smaller, menus get deeper, and human connection gets harder. We reject that.

We believe curiosity has no expiration date. That learning something new at 80 should feel as natural — and exciting — as it did at 20. We believe conversation is more than small talk — it’s memory, comfort, and connection.

That’s why we built Ato — a beautifully simple device powered by AI, designed for seniors from the ground up. No apps to download, no settings to decode. Just a conversation away from managing the day, exploring new ideas, staying mentally sharp, and feeling connected to family and friends.

Ato isn’t just a device. It’s a bridge — between generations, between distances, between the world and the people who shaped it. It listens without rushing, speaks without judgment, and turns technology into something warm and human.

Today, one in three older adults experiences loneliness — a form of disconnection so harmful it can impact health as severely as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day^[1]. The challenge is only growing, and Ato is here to meet it head‑on — making connection, learning, and daily life simpler and warmer for those who need it most.

We believe families deserve more moments together, even when they’re apart. We believe in dignity, simplicity, and joy — not as luxuries, but as essentials.

We’re here to make aging feel lighter, richer, and more human. For the ones who taught us everything. For the ones we love. For every story yet to be told.
