The space in between

Your parents want to stay home. You want to know they’re okay.

It’s 9 p.m. and you’re a thousand miles away. Did Mom take her evening pills? Did Dad find his glasses?

A camera on the wall doesn’t talk back. A reminder app is easy to ignore. KOKO lives in the space in between, with a little help for them and a quiet line back to you.

How KOKO helps

What KOKO can do when you can’t.

KOKO’s spatial memory marking where things were left on a living room sideboard.
Memory

You forget. KOKO remembers.

KOKO builds a real-time memory of the home, so it knows where the glasses were left.

  • Finds misplaced things and brings them over
  • Gentle reminders that fit the rhythm of the day
  • Learns routines, names, and preferences

A helping hand

You leave. KOKO stays.

A helping hand at the moments when a fall is most likely, and a daily partner for staying strong.

  • Picks up light things from the floor, like glasses or a phone
  • Leads seated strength and balance exercises every day
  • Goes to check in when your parent doesn’t answer

Family

You love. KOKO cares.

Stay close from wherever you are, without calling five times a day.

  • Photo updates and easy video calls
  • A heads-up when a routine is missed, not constant pings
  • Drive KOKO from the app to check a room or water the plants

Things a speaker or tablet can’t do

Support, not takeover. KOKO steps in at the risky moments and encourages everything else.

The goal is to keep your parents capable, not dependent. If the glasses are on the table, KOKO might just walk over with them.

A safe close

A look at tomorrow, and a light on if they get up in the night.

Safe at home

Wheels, not legs. Built to be safe around people.

  • MovementAn omnidirectional base with a 1 m/s top speed that slows and stops when people, pets, or obstacles get close.
  • Stability66 lb on a low, wide wheeled base, with collision detection and an emergency stop button.
  • Out of the wayReturns to its dock when it isn’t needed, clear of walkways.
  • Clear limitsKOKO never lifts, holds, or transfers a person. That stays with people.
Privacy, built in

A companion should be trusted, not just useful.

Memory Key

KOKO’s memories are secured by an independent physical key, shaped like a small plant. Your memories, your key.

SoftSeal™ privacy cover

A silicone cover lets you decide when KOKO can see, and when it can’t.

Your parent stays in charge

The person KOKO lives with decides what family members can see, and when.

No selling data. Ever.

What KOKO learns about your home stays with your family.

Delete anytime

Any memory, photo, or recording can be erased from the app.

The technology

Why memory is our edge.

KOKO’s memory grew out of our earlier work on MyMemo, an AI memory assistant. We’ve spent years on one question: how can an AI remember a person’s life the way a caring family member would?

Real-time spatial memory

RGB-D vision maps the home and semantic mapping recognizes everyday objects, so KOKO knows where things are and notices how the home changes.

Skills it can learn

A vision-language-action model lets KOKO learn physical tasks from demonstration. New skills are released as each one becomes reliable.

Movement made for homes

Real-time SLAM for navigation, dynamic obstacle awareness, and a bionic palm for a stable, gentle grasp.

Why KOKO exists

He forgot almost everything. He never forgot me.

My grandfather lived with Alzheimer’s for nearly ten years. He forgot his medicine. He misplaced things. Slowly, he forgot many parts of daily life, but he never forgot me.

When I moved away to study, I couldn’t always be there.

That stayed with me. KOKO was born from a simple idea: when family can’t be there, something still can, to remember, to help, and to stay close.
