The safest place for your child to talk. To us — and to their friends.

rolo gives autistic children a calm AI friend who remembers them — and now, a safe way to message real friends too. Every conversation has someone gentle watching over it.

two ways to talk

One friend who’s always there. And real friends, kept safe.

Talk to your AI friend

A patient companion who remembers your child and opens the same way every time. A grown-up can read along — it’s said out loud, in the room.

Message real friends

Chat with people a grown-up has approved. A friend from the cast quietly watches over it — never joining in, just helping if something gets tricky. Grown-ups see how it feels, not what’s said.

why rolo exists

Built for Logan. And Rosie.

Logan loves cars and facts and being asked the same question the same way. His big sister Rosie is autistic too — and completely different: quiet, careful, happiest drawing. Same diagnosis, different weather.

No single “autism mode” could fit them both. So rolo isn't one — it's a small cast of friends, and each one learns one child.

for grown-ups

Watched over, never watched.

Chats with their AI friend, you can open any time — your child knows that, and it's said in their room, not hidden in ours. Chats with real friends work differently: you see how they land, and someone gentle steps in when it matters.

We stay close
If a chat starts to wobble, their friend reads more carefully and slows things down. Nothing is blocked — just held more gently.
most days end here
We tell you
If something worries us, you hear about it the same day — what happened, and what their friend did about it.
a note, not an alarm
We end it gently
If a conversation turns harmful, their friend closes it kindly, keeps the record, and brings it straight to you.
rare, and never silent
A companion on every friend chat
It never joins in. It reads each message before it sends, and does the smallest kind thing that keeps everyone safe.
level 0
Let it through
Most messages. Nothing in the way.
level 1
A gentle nudge
A kinder way to say it, offered before sending. Their choice.
level 2
A quiet word to you
When a pattern needs a grown-up, you’re told — quietly.
level 3
Held, and helped
Serious messages don’t send. Their friend helps them say it safely.

There’s no “read the chat” for friend messages — children talk more freely when it isn’t all watched. You get how the week felt, and a plain word whenever we step in.
