WhatsApp-based senior assistant

Build a personal assistant service for seniors that operates entirely within WhatsApp. Target elderly users who struggle with new apps but are comfortable with messaging.

Why now

Seniors increasingly use WhatsApp but lack dedicated tools that meet their needs within the platform.

Many seniors rely on WhatsApp for daily communication but find standalone apps confusing. A service that integrates directly into WhatsApp could handle appointments, reminders, and simple queries without requiring new software.

Offer memory aids, medication reminders, and family updates through a chatbot interface. Charge families or caregivers a subscription for managing their loved one's schedule and needs.

The MVP could be a basic reminder bot with manual follow-ups. The biggest risk is WhatsApp changing API access or policies.
