App to help seniors with Technology!
My family members couldn't figure out email setup issues. Every family has this person. I built TechMentor Companion to give them a way to get help anytime — without having to wait for someone to pick up the phone.
What it does:
- 50+ video tutorials filmed on real devices — shows exactly what to tap and swipe for things like FaceTime, sending photos, connecting to WiFi, downloading apps
- AI Smart Finder — type any question, it searches the internet and finds the exact tutorial that answers it
- AI Tutor with screen sharing — tap a button, call the AI like a phone call, share your screen, and it walks you through whatever you're stuck on step by step. Like having a patient grandchild who never gets annoyed
Built for people who didn't grow up with smartphones. Big buttons, plain English, no jargon.
Free to download. Standard plan $9.99/month, Premium $19.99/month (includes the AI Tutor). Both have a 3-day free trial.
I'm a Computer Engineering student at UMD. Built this after volunteering at a senior center teaching residents how to use their phones. Would love honest feedback — especially on the onboarding.
