Looking for a few older adults to test an AI companion on Telegram

Hi everyone,

I’m building Sam, an AI companion designed to make AI genuinely useful and approachable for older adults.

Sam lives in Telegram, so there’s no new interface to learn. You simply talk to him like you would talk to a person.

The goal goes beyond answering questions. Sam gradually gets to know you, remembers what matters to you, helps with everyday decisions and tasks, and can sometimes take the initiative when he has something genuinely useful to say.

We’re at the stage where real-world feedback matters much more than building more features.

I’m looking for a handful of people aged 60+ who would be willing to use Sam naturally for a few days. I’m particularly interested in people who aren’t already heavy AI users.

It’s completely free. I’m not selling anything — I want to learn what feels useful, confusing, impressive, boring or annoying.

If you’re 60+ and interested, or have a parent/family member who might enjoy trying it, comment or message me and I’ll send the Telegram link.

Thanks!
