That is why I am building Remme: an AI companion that transforms family photos into meaningful, therapeutic conversations.

If this area interests you, my messages are open — and I’d love to connect! Learn more about Remme here: 👉

Remme delivers face-time like reminiscence sessions on-demand using a user’s own photos. It’s designed especially for people with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage dementia.

This is a topic I care about deeply because I’m building Remme, a digital product for older adults. #DigitalHealth #AgeTech #AICompanionship

Older adults may uniquely gain from engaging with digital tools over time.

Interestingly, these benefits stand in contrast to common concerns about tech and younger generations.

Not only does technology stimulate the brain, it can also foster social connections, which are crucial for cognitive and emotional health.

Engaging with new digital challenges and staying curious can help maintain mental sharpness as we age.

The article highlights research showing that regular use of digital technology is linked to better cognitive function and a lower risk of impairment among older adults.

Remme was born from a simple idea: family photos hold hidden stories. Our AI uncovers them and turns them into prompts that bring families closer, one conversation at a time. #MemoryTech #FamilyConnections

Think AI progress is slowing? Even if it did, we’re nowhere near done. The models we have now could keep innovators busy for a decade discovering new ways to actually use AI well. #AI #Productivity

Fast, flexible care solves some problems but convenience alone can’t replace a trusted, consistent caregiver. Continuity matters as much as speed. #AgeTech #CareEconomy

Thoughtful AI can enhance dignity and quality of life for people with dementia. It’s not about replacing humans. It’s about providing support, engagement, and peace of mind. #CareTech #AgeTech

Congrats to AI2 for this milestone! Proud of their #Seattle roots and close partnership with my alma mater, the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at UW. Open AI, done right. #OpenSourceAI #Science

This often leads to important insights getting missed or experiments getting unnecessarily repeated. Transparent tools like Astra help scientists navigate complexity and uncover what matters.

Recently, AI2 announced Astra: open-source agents and tools for scientific research. Modern research is messy: scientists juggle massive literature, complex experiments, and scattered tools.

Why does this matter? Open-source AI allows others to study, reproduce, and build on existing work. It’s transparency that accelerates science and discovery.

Enter AI2, a Seattle-based nonprofit founded in 2014 by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen. Their mission: truly open-source AI—everything is released: weights, training data, recipes, code.

Most AI models today are released as “open weights”—you can download and run them. But the full picture is usually hidden: training data, code, and recipes often stay private. 🧵
