For autistic teens and young adults, 13–22
Talkfar is a voice conversation partner on the phone. Your teen talks about the world they love; Talkfar keeps up with it and keeps the back-and-forth going. Over time, it works toward building bridges from that world to others. You get a short note after each talk.

He compared two characters and gave his reason without being asked.
An example note, not a real child's.
Nothing about your teen needs fixing. The goal is that they get their message across, and that conversations reach past their favorite topic.
Anime, trains, Minecraft, music. Talkfar remembers every character, every line, every build they've told it about, and the people in their life, and picks up where they left off.
What we're working toward: from Goku to the gym, from subway maps to a trip with grandma, from a favorite song to what friends listen to. One bridge at a time, at your teen's pace, never a quiz or a lesson.
Talkfar draws what they describe and asks what it got wrong. Correcting it is half the fun.
No pressure to answer fast. When interest drops, it asks what they'd like to do. They can stop any time.
You don't have to keep up with every episode, every train line or every Minecraft update. Talkfar can, and it tells you what matters.
The topics that are hard for you to follow are where your teen talks most. Talkfar knows them well enough to keep up and ask a good next question.
Not a transcript. Something they said worth hearing, what came up, and one thing you could ask at dinner.
A trip this weekend, a new friend, a test on Friday. Say it once, and Talkfar can bring it up in their next talk.
If something your teen says sounds like danger, crisis numbers appear on their screen and you get an alert.
My son is autistic. He loves anime, and most of our conversations used to end after a sentence or two, partly because I couldn't keep up with Goku. Talkfar grew out of that. He has tried every version, and what made him want to keep talking shaped how it works. This beta is the next step: seeing whether it helps your family too.

The beta has 20 spots. We're choosing families across ages (13–15, 16–18, 19–22) and talking styles so we learn what works for different teens. If we fill up, you'll be first in line for the launch.
No. Talkfar is not therapy and does not replace a speech-language pathologist. It's a place to practice real conversation between sessions, about things your teen cares about. You're welcome to share the notes with your teen's therapist.
You see a short note after each talk. Talks are stored as text on our servers in the US so Talkfar can remember your teen's interests. Audio is turned into text and not kept. We never sell data or use it for ads, and you can delete everything at any time from your parent page.
That's useful to know too. Talks happen when your teen chooses. We ask you not to push; the beta is about whether they come back on their own.
Talkfar is built for this age group: it keeps to everyday topics, says plainly that it is an AI, flags danger to you right away, and shows crisis numbers on screen. You sign a short consent form before the first talk; young adults 18 and older consent for themselves.
Talkfar launches in early 2027 as a paid subscription. Beta families get early-family pricing. Nothing is charged automatically.
Spots are limited to 20 families. We'll email you within a week to say whether we have a spot for you. Please don't include your teen's name.
Thank you. Check your email in a few minutes for four short follow-up questions; that's how we choose families. We'll let you know within a week. If your teen is curious, you can tell them it's an app where they get to be the expert on what they love.
