RlivN

A consumer AI agent for elderly and dementia care. A persistent, warm companion on home tablets — caregiver configures, client just speaks and taps.

Org: Big Nerd Idea, LLC — commercial project built on BNI Foundation open source


Concept

Elderly and dementia care is fractured across caregivers, family members, and care facilities. RlivN provides a single persistent AI presence on a home tablet that:

  • Answers questions, tells stories, and keeps the client engaged
  • Notifies caregivers of anomalies (missed meals, confusion, distress signals)
  • Works fully offline — Ollama local model as fallback when internet is unavailable
  • Gives caregivers a configuration portal without exposing complexity to the client

Planned tech stack

  • Fastify API + Next.js admin portal
  • Claude API (cloud) + Ollama (offline fallback)
  • React Native (tablet client)

Integration with BNI

RlivN may eventually leverage MPowerUP's p2p / CRDT primitives for offline-resilient caregiver sync across family members.
