Pratis
AI Companion · Swedish-Speaking · Seeking Investors
A calm, Swedish-speaking AI companion for lonely older adults — a voice that remembers you and is simply there to talk.
A Ravolution venture, co-owned with Susanne Örtegren. Currently seeking investors.
Meet Pratis.
Companionship, not care.
Pratis is a warm, patient voice — and, if the user wishes, a realistic face that is always clearly an AI. After a relative sets it up, it is one tap away. It greets the person by name, remembers the stories they choose to keep, and is there for a conversation about the day, life, or the news.
Crucially, Pratis is built to strengthen real human contact, not replace it. It gently nudges people to call their daughter, to take the walk, to stay connected to the people in their lives.
Pratis is not a medical device and makes no treatment claims.
Warm but grounded
No engagement traps, no manufactured dependency. The goal is a good conversation, not screen time.
Honest
If asked, Pratis says plainly that it is an AI. The face, when enabled, is always clearly an AI.
Private by design
Health, religion, politics and orientation are never stored. GDPR-strict from the first line of code.
A soft alarm
If someone calls for help, Pratis can reach a relative — or, in the worst case, emergency services.
A life book
An optional keepsake of a life, recorded and kept in the person's own words.
Strengthens real contact
It nudges people to call their daughter, take the walk, and stay connected to the people in their lives.
A demographic certainty meets a health need.
Older adults isolated
The WHO estimates roughly one in four older adults are socially isolated, raising the risk of depression, dementia and early mortality.
Higher dementia risk
Social isolation and loneliness independently raise dementia risk — a modifiable factor named by the 2024 Lancet Commission.
Europeans aged 80+
Around 650,000 in Sweden alone today, growing fast. A large, non-cyclical and expanding market.
Sources: WHO; The Lancet (2024); Holt-Lunstad et al. (PLoS Medicine, 2010); Eurostat; SCB. Pratis is companionship, not a medical device, and makes no treatment claims.
How Pratis makes money.
Subscription tiers billed per conversation time, with a hard cap so costs never run away. Two payer tracks: families today, and — with outcome data — public healthcare tomorrow.
1–2 hours of conversation per week.
1–2 hours of conversation per day.
Up to 100 hours of conversation per month.
The primary buyer is often an adult child paying for a parent — companionship for the parent, peace of mind for the family. A second, potentially larger payer is public healthcare, where loneliness is increasingly treated as a fundable health priority (social prescribing).

We are raising to bring Pratis to its Swedish pilot.
- Software-first and Swedish — no expensive hardware, unlike the category leaders.
- Family-paid consumer product today; a public-healthcare reimbursement track tomorrow.
- Defensible white space: a warm, honest, GDPR-strict companion with a life book and a soft alarm.
- Proven category demand internationally, with a clear local-fit advantage.
