Communication is more than speaking.

AAC tools help people express themselves through pictures, words, speech-generating devices, and other ways of communicating.

But conversations continue after someone leaves the room. Friends text. Families share photos, jokes, questions, birthdays, and pieces of everyday life.

Power to Connect brings AAC and those everyday connections into one accessible experience.

Sentence AI and Reply Helper.

Power to Connect’s Communication Intelligence Engine supports two important parts of communication: building a message and joining a conversation.

Sentence AI is an AI-powered way for Emmett to find the words.

Sentence AI predicts useful next words and phrases from the sentence so far, patterns in Emmett’s language, and preferences he has taught it. He selects the words that fit to create a sentence, then Power to Connect speaks it aloud.

Someone standing near Emmett speaks to Power to Connect. Speech recognition turns their words into text, then the Communication Intelligence Engine uses what it heard and the available conversation context to build relevant response choices for Emmett.

Emmett can choose a response that fits and have Power to Connect speak it. He stays in control of what he communicates.

Discover what’s happening

News, updates, and interests can give communicators more to explore and talk about.

Make something fun.

Communication should be useful. It can be joyful, too.

Make a funny picture, tell a joke, or explore an interactive story where the communicator makes the choices.

These are more ways to express personality, share a laugh, and start a conversation.

A platform with room to grow.

Our long-term vision includes an extensible plugin system and Hive AI, an opt-in learning concept designed with privacy in mind. These are future plans, built on the idea that technology should adapt to each communicator.

Built for independence.

Designed for support.

Power to Connect gives the communicator a simple experience while giving caretakers and trusted people the tools they need behind the scenes.

Caretakers can help manage contacts, preferences, conversations, and communication settings without making the experience complicated for the person using Power to Connect.

Everyone deserves to be part of the conversation.

Whether it’s:

  • “What’s for dinner?”
  • “Look what I did today!”
  • “Happy birthday!”
  • “Want to hang out?”
  • or just… “Hey”

The smallest conversations can create the biggest connections.
