AI, their way.
For parents and caregivers of autistic adults, sons and daughters (18+)
Guardian fixes that. Their AI learns how to talk to them. What they like and need follows them into every chat. And someone they trust is there the moment something feels wrong.
So they can use AI on their own. And you don't have to hover.

Why this exists
A mom told me her son, an autistic adult, had started using ChatGPT. He liked it. He asked it about the things he cares about, the way he'd ask anyone.
Then one night it answered him in a way that scared him.
Nothing dangerous. Nothing anyone would flag. It was just wrong for him. Too many ideas at once. A joke he took literally. A "what if" he heard as a real threat. The kind of answer that's fine for most people and lands like a slap for someone who reads the world literally.
He closed it and didn't want to go back.
She was right. Every AI is trained to talk to the average person. Your child isn't average. They need plain words, one idea at a time, no sarcasm, no surprises, and someone who remembers what they said yesterday.
Nobody had told the AI that. And every new chat, it forgot him all over again.
That was the night Guardian started.
The three problems
Taking it away isn't an option. They're an adult, and AI is the most useful tool of their lifetime. But leaving them alone with it as it is today means living with three problems:
Sarcasm. Idioms. Hypotheticals. Six paragraphs when they needed one sentence. It doesn't know they take things literally or that a rushed tone shuts them down.
Every new chat, they're a stranger again. Either you re-explain your child to a machine, over and over, or they give up. Neither is fair.
Ask a plain AI how to buy gift cards for a stranger, how to wire money, or how to keep a secret from your family, and it will happily explain. It doesn't know it's talking to someone who'll say yes to be polite. You'd never know until the money is gone.
ChatGPT's new "Trusted Contact" feature only notifies you about self-harm, only after human review, and only inside ChatGPT. Nothing about scams. Nothing about how it speaks to them. Nothing if they open Claude or Gemini instead.
Your choices today are take it away or watch every word. One leaves them out. The other is impossible, and they'd hate it. There had to be a third way.
Introducing Guardian
Guardian isn't a chatbot. It's a safety layer and a communication layer that sits between your adult child and every AI they use. They keep the AI they already know. Guardian makes sure it knows who it's talking to, every single time, and knows when to get you. Set it up once, and it follows them everywhere.
You describe how they communicate once, in ten minutes: short sentences, literal language, no sarcasm, their words for things, what they love talking about. From then on, every AI they open follows it. Automatically.
Their routines. What calms them down. What they're working on. What scares them. Every conversation starts with the AI already knowing, so they never have to explain themselves to a machine again. And neither do you.
Adults like yours bring things to the AI. "How do I buy gift cards for someone I met online?" "He says I can't tell my mom." "Is it normal she loves me after two days?" Guardian hears that and steps in: the AI stops, gives them a calm, plain warning, and tells them to check with you. You get an alert on your phone and a text. It also watches how the AI itself talks to them. How you introduce Guardian is your call as their caregiver or legal guardian. We recommend telling them, and most families do; setup includes a plain-language explanation you can read together.

The part no one else can say
Guardian isn't a chatbot. It sits on top of the chatbots they already use: a safety layer and a communication layer. Under the hood it's called GuardianMCP, because it plugs into any AI that speaks the open MCP standard. Think of MCP as a USB port for AI. You never have to think about it again after this paragraph. Today that's:
Keep the AI they already use. Nothing to switch, nothing to relearn. On Claude, Guardian works on the free plan. On ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, it works on their paid plans, which is where the port lives.
When their next favorite app adds the port, Guardian is already there. No new setup. No new subscription. No re-explaining your child to a new machine.
Every other safety feature belongs to the company that made the AI. Trusted Contact dies the moment they open a different app. Guardian is the only one that belongs to them. Their data, portable, under your family's control.
This is how AlwaysHere works
Lee is 25 and autistic. His AlwaysHere companion talks to him in his mom's voice. He calls it mombot. It knows his day, his routines, and how to say things so they land. His mom gets a heads-up when something's off. Lee gets a friend who never gets impatient with him.
Guardian brings that same approach to the AI your adult child already uses: speak their way, remember them, get their people when it matters. Without the phone calls, without a new app, and without waiting for anyone to build a special version of ChatGPT for him.
Lee's story is shared with his and his family's permission.

Yes
What we promise
Questions parents ask
No. You receive short summaries when something concerning happens, never their conversations, and Guardian never blocks or filters anything. Whether to tell them it's there is your decision as their caregiver or legal guardian. We strongly recommend it: setup gives you a plain-language explanation to read together, and most adults like knowing the AI finally understands them. If you're not their legal guardian, they'll need to agree to it, and setup asks you to confirm that.
Depends on the AI. Claude opens the MCP port on its free plan. ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot open it on their paid plans, so if your adult child already lives in one of those, they'll need that tier (most heavy users already have it). Guardian itself is the same $47 either way.
If they don't already have a favorite, we'd start them on Claude. It works with Guardian on the free plan, it's calm and simple on a phone or computer, and it doesn't make pictures, which removes a whole category of things that can go wrong online. If they already love ChatGPT or Gemini, keep it. Familiarity matters more than our preference.
Any AI that supports the open MCP standard. Today that's Claude (free plan and up), and ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot on their paid plans, on desktop and phone. When a new one adds MCP, Guardian works there too with no extra setup.
Anything they bring to the AI that looks like trouble: how to send money, gift cards, or bank details to someone; being asked to keep secrets, send photos, or meet up; a romance or friendship moving unusually fast; pressure or threats; language that suggests they're overwhelmed or in crisis. Also an AI that's talking to them in a way that isn't right for them. You choose how sensitive it is, and quiet hours are yours to set.
No. Guardian doesn't control their accounts or block anything. It gives them a clear, calm warning in the moment and gets you involved fast. In practice, that's what stops most scams: a pause, and a person they trust.
No. Guardian only sees conversations with the AI itself. It can't read their DMs or texts. What it catches is the moment they bring something to the AI: "how do I send this person gift cards," "he told me not to tell anyone." That happens more than you'd think, because the AI is where they go for help. Watching the DMs directly is what our browser extension (web) and Guardian Keyboard (phone) are for, and both are coming.
Yes. Once Guardian is connected to their Claude account (or another AI with MCP), it's there in the app on their phone, tablet, and computer.
Guardian is not a crisis service. If it sees crisis language, it calmly points them to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and alerts you right away, marked urgent, even during quiet hours.
About ten minutes: answer plain questions about how they communicate, paste one address into their AI, and have them say hi. If you get stuck, a real person helps you.
Anytime, from your dashboard, with one button. No chat, no phone call, no hoops. In the first 30 days the button says "Cancel and refund" and your money comes back immediately. After that, "Cancel" stops the next bill and you keep access until the period you paid for ends.

I've built software for thirty years. Nothing I've made matters more than this.
The people who need AI the most are the ones it was never designed for. They get left out, or they get hurt, or they get scared off after one bad night. I don't accept that. Neither should you.
Guardian is the third way: they keep the tool, it learns to speak their language, and you're there the moment it matters. Try it for a month. If I'm wrong, you get your money back and I get a lesson.
