The conversation you’ve been meaning to have.

You've noticed. That's how every circle starts.

THE MAIL

Dad’s fine. But the envelopes are piling up, and you noticed.

MINDER is built to inventory the obligations that keep life independent, bills, refills and rides entered by the circle, and alert only on exceptions. Silence is a good report.

THE QUESTION

You know you should ask about the will. You don’t know how to start.

Conversation starters ride on game nights, easiest first. The legal ones arrive when the room is already warm.

THE DISTANCE

You’d be there in a heartbeat, if you knew which heartbeat.

Roles, check-in rhythms, and a clear escalation path: friend, family, caregiver, counsel. Everyone knows their part before it’s needed.

MINDER takes no profit: no investors, no ads, no selling or mining of your data. It is run for the people in the circle. MINDER is not a monitor and it is not for "patients." It's the infrastructure a family builds together, ideally while everyone is well, so that if a day comes when someone isn't, the right people already know what matters and are already in the habit of showing up. And when the starting point is someone already drifting out of reach, the circle is how you team up to bring them back in: several people, small check-ins, nobody carrying it alone.

Three moves. Then it's a habit.

the Network Health program

Take stock together

A preparedness conversation across six domains, finances, legal, health, daily living, social and digital, and each domain covered earns its check. Nobody starts with all six; the missing checks become your family’s roadmap.

counts as the first conversation

Invite the first person

One trusted person and a named role. Each permission you give covers one kind of record, and ends after 30 days, or sooner when you tell MINDER to end it.

the circle forms in one evening · most form within a week

Keep the rhythm

Asynchronous check-ins at each relationship’s natural pace, maybe weekly with your sister, now and then with an old friend. MINDER nudges sparingly, never nags, and the questions deepen through play, not paperwork.

silence is a good report · alerts on exceptions only

your circle, assembling. One arrival at a time, each greeted in its own style

Watch a week in the circle.

100 seconds · the live system, not a mockup

A quiet week, one legal request, and a circle that signs together. Every decision on screen, routing, consent and escalation, is the real pipeline running on the device. When counsel's request arrives, nothing moves until the whole circle has seen it, exactly as it was sent.

THE WEEKS THAT MATTER · ANSWERED BY ARCHITECTURE

Watch the circle in the weeks that matter.

A kitchen-table conversation. A scam call. A screen that locked someone out. A pattern nobody could remember. Pick a week and watch what the system actually does when it arrives, and, just as plainly, what it can't.

THE MECHANISM

A small open model · open protocol · consent you can end

WHAT MINDER CAN'T DO

MINDER can’t argue anyone into trust. In the pilot, the model and the records run on a machine the MINDER team operates.

The hard questions, on the easiest moments.

Nobody opens with "where is your will?" MINDER keeps a comprehensive library of starters, every domain, warm to hard, folded into moments families already share: game night, cooking together, holiday prep, the ride home. The big questions arrive as small ones, exactly when hands are busy and it's easy to talk. Answers file themselves into your family's story library and legal packet, with consent, every time.

Warm memories come first. Health care proxies come later, after a Wild Draw-4, when they're easy. And for families who'd rather sit down and do it properly: the same library runs as a structured inventory, taken together like a personality test.

SOCIAL ✓

A meal you would happily eat again.

Uno, after any color-matching card. Frequent, low friction. Saves to the story library.

Your data is yours.

MINDER is built to run its AI on one computer in your household. In the pilot, the AI and your family's records run on a machine the MINDER team operates. Messages travel over Signal, encrypted on their way to MINDER, and MINDER's server opens them to answer, so the MINDER team can read them. Each permission names a person or a group you choose and one kind of record, and ends after 30 days, or sooner when you tell MINDER to end it. One term has no end date: the crisis alert is part of having a circle. We won't monetize your data. There is no export yet; we are building the way for you to take all of it with you.

MESSAGING

Built for secure messengers

Your family already talks somewhere private. MINDER is built to meet them there: check-ins and nudges designed to arrive over the encrypted messenger you already use. Not another inbox.

IN THE PILOT

Contacts & Calendar

In the pilot, your phone runs only Signal, and MINDER reads nothing on it.

UNDER THE HOOD

Encryption and export

Encryption that even we cannot open is a goal we have not built yet, and so is a way for you to take all of your data with you.

THE AI

A small open model

MINDER is built to run a small open AI model on one computer in your household, with no cloud AI service answering your family. In today’s pilot, that computer is one we run.

permissions end after 30 days, or sooner when you tell MINDER · the crisis alert has no end date

Bringing in the person you're thinking of

MINDER is built for two of you: someone who wants to help, and someone who could use a hand with the digital side of life. The connection forms at their pace, on their terms. For most families it starts with a First Circle: one gathering, a deck of cards on the table, the founding pair formed the same day. Here is how founding minders do it.

WEEK ONE

Build your circle first

You onboard yourself before anyone else: your accounts, your people, your six checks in progress. When you arrive with your own circle, you’re inviting them into something you do, not something you’re doing to them.

THE ASK

Invite with dignity

The ask is never "I’m worried about you." It’s "be in my circle." They join as your minder first. The roles are mutual from day one, and nobody is cast as the patient.

CONSENT LADDER

Start with zero access

The first assistance mode is Advise & Remind: no accounts, no passwords, no monitoring. Supported actions come later. Each permission names a person or a group you choose and one kind of record, and ends after 30 days, or sooner when you tell MINDER to end it.

THEIR PACE

Meet them where they are

Built to check in over the messenger they already trust, an interface that grows calmer as needs change, voice on the path for when typing is hard, and game nights carrying the questions that matter.

THE ASK, WORD FOR WORD

"I set this up for myself: my accounts, my people, my what-ifs. I'd like you in my circle. And honestly, I'd feel better if we did yours too."

Become a founding minder

first cohort · 30–50 households · late 2026

The founding cohort is for people like you: healthy, organized, quietly worried about someone, and willing to go first. Founding minders build their own circle, connect one person who needs digital support, and shape what MINDER becomes. In return: the full product at no charge for as long as you use it, a direct line to the team, and the printed Network Health drill kit.

Real families never beta-test safety. Every agent behavior was exercised against synthetic families first, over 1,000 interactions across six agents and 46 tools, with the results below, before the first household joins. The research behind it is submitted for independent peer review.

MEMBER WAITLIST · FIRST COHORT

Put your household on the list.

The founding cohort is 30–50 households, onboarded personally, starting late 2026. We ask three things and nothing else: no phone number, no address, no marketing consent buried in the fine print.

· your name and email are kept in two places: the site's database, encrypted at rest by its host, and one email to the team's inbox · one email when your cohort opens, nothing before, nothing after · write to hello@minder.community and a person deletes your name and email from the database and the team's inbox; the database host's backups drop them within 30 days

CLINICAL & RESEARCH PARTNERS · SEPARATE TRACK

Pilot MINDER with the people you serve.

For geriatric practices, health systems, community-based organizations, and researchers in aging. Partners get what families get, plus the evidence layer: the full validation suite, a readable audit trail, and a pilot protocol we design together. Pilots run under IRB-approved protocols; the partner brief describes the path.

EVIDENCE, NOT CLAIMS

1,000+ synthetic interactions before any human household; zero security violations; deny-by-default held across all seven roles. You review the raw validation suite, not a summary slide.

AUDIT TRAIL

Every agent action lands in a tamper-evident audit trail. Each permission names a person or a group the member chooses and one kind of record, and ends after 30 days, or sooner when she tells MINDER to end it. The crisis alert has no end date.

A PILOT DESIGNED TOGETHER

We co-write the protocol: your population, your outcome measures, IRB-ready documentation. Pilots begin only after IRB approval; the research basis is submitted for independent peer review.

DATA IN THE PILOT

In the pilot, the AI and families’ records run on a machine the MINDER team operates. No export exists yet; we are building the way for families to take everything with them.
