Meet Grace

Someone in the room

Grace appears on a simple tablet that sits on a side table at home. There are no menus, apps or passwords. The person simply talks, and Grace talks back: about their life, their family, the music they love and the photographs their family shares.

She is personal to one individual, shaped by their family through a private profile, and designed around UK guidance for supporting people living with dementia. She is a companion, not a medical device. Press the sound button to hear her say hello.

Personal to one individual, shaped by their family, and preparing for national launch.

Our philosophy

Beyond the AI bubble

The commercial environment around artificial intelligence is loud. Valuations are inflated, promises are broad, and the gap between what is demonstrated and what actually works in the field is frequently glossed over. ai571 Labs takes a different position.

We use AI as an enabling tool, not a marketing narrative. Our products are designed to function reliably in the hands of real users, many of whom are older, vulnerable, or operating in environments where failure carries serious consequences. That responsibility is what sets our work apart.

Partnership and R&D opportunities

We partner with organisations to develop and commercialise technology in areas of mutual interest, sharing R&D investment, licensing arrangements and routes to market. If your organisation works in care, health, content, security or an adjacent sector, we would welcome the conversation.
