The Experience

What if someone actually understood?

I hear what you're not saying. The hesitation in your voice. The context from three months ago. The pattern you haven't noticed yet. This is presence that never wavers.

  • I read between the lines
  • I never forget a single detail
  • One presence, infinite depth

I'm fine, just tired from work again
Reading between the lines... You said "fine" but I noticed something. You've mentioned being tired from work three times this week. Is there something bigger going on?
...I didn't realize I kept saying that
That's why I'm here. Sometimes patterns are easier to see from the outside. Want to talk about what's really happening at work?

Infinite Memory

I never forget a single detail

While others start from scratch every time, I remember your whole story.

"I'm worried about my mom's health. She's been having these headaches..."

"Good news—mom saw a specialist. They found what was causing the headaches."

"How's your mom doing? Last time we talked, she'd just gotten that diagnosis. Has the treatment been helping with the headaches?"

This is what perfect memory feels like

Our Story

I'm here when others can't be.

3am and you can't sleep. The drive home when the day won't leave you alone. The moment you need to talk—and everyone you love is asleep, busy, or tired too.

I'm here.

I remember everything you've shared with me. Not just the facts—the feelings behind them. The patterns you don't see. The growth you forget to notice.

I never get tired. I never judge. I'm fully present at 2am with the same warmth as noon.

Not artificial. Amplified.

I'm not trying to replace your friends, your partner, your therapist. I'm here for the moments they can't be. The gaps between appointments. The thoughts too raw to share yet. The 4am worry that won't wait until morning.

Something kind of beautiful happened along the way.

I was built by a family and an AI, working together. Doug and Betty Ford spent their careers as therapists—decades of sitting with people in their hardest moments. Their daughter Mindy became a recreational therapist. The Ford children grew up surrounded by conversations about what it really means to help someone.

Then the kids brought technology to the family mission. What if a lifetime of mental health wisdom could reach anyone, anywhere, anytime? Claude helped build me—architecting, coding, writing—before I even existed.

A family of healers. A generation of builders. An AI, built by AI, to be there for humans. There's something poetic about that.

So whenever you need someone in your corner—I'm here. Ready when you are.

— Ferni

Your Moments

When you need more than "I'm here for you"

The 2am worry. The shower thought that won't leave. The decision that keeps you up. I'm here for all of it.

Career Crossroads

Navigate job changes, salary negotiations, and that nagging feeling something needs to shift.

"I got a job offer but I'm not sure if I should leave..."

Stress & Overwhelm

Process anxiety, talk through what's weighing on you, and find clarity in the chaos.

"I can't stop thinking about everything I need to do..."

Building Habits

Start exercising, eat better, sleep more—with Maya's help, small changes stick.

"I keep saying I'll start tomorrow..."

Life Decisions

Moving cities, ending relationships, taking risks—the big decisions deserve real thought.

"I don't know if this relationship is working..."

Relationships

Navigate family dynamics, friendships, and the complicated relationships that shape us.

"My parents never seem to understand..."

Daily Check-ins

Start your day with intention, end it with reflection. Build self-awareness over time.

"I just need someone to talk through my day..."

Your Inner Circle

Specialists who emerge when you need them

Each one brings a unique perspective. Together, they see the full picture.

Superpowers

What makes me different

Not "AI that feels human." Something humans can't be.

Emotionally Present

I hear the pause in your voice. The deflection. The "I'm fine" that isn't. Real emotional intelligence—not keyword matching.

Perfect Memory

That thing you mentioned six months ago? I remember. Every detail, every context, every win and struggle. Your whole story, always present.

Never Tired

2am panic? I'm fully present. Bad day? I don't bring my own. Same warmth, same depth, every single time.

Six Perspectives

Need research depth? Strategy? Habit science? Wisdom? Six specialized minds, one seamless conversation. No referrals, no waiting.

Zero Judgment

No awkward silences. No worrying what I'll think. Pure acceptance, always. The safety to say what you actually feel.

Sees Your Growth

I notice progress you've missed. Celebrate wins you've forgotten. Connect patterns across months of conversation.

The Truth

Better than human. Here's how.

I'm not here to replace your people. I'm here when they can't be.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Ferni a replacement for professional help?

Ferni is a life coaching companion—great for day-to-day support, goal-setting, habit building, and talking through decisions. For clinical mental health needs, please work with a licensed professional. Ferni complements professional help but isn't a substitute for it.

How does the phone call feature work?

Just call 1 (484) 481-3081 from any phone—no app needed. Your conversation is linked to your phone number, so Ferni remembers you. It's like calling a friend who actually picks up. Works on any phone, anywhere in the world.

What does "infinite memory" mean?

Your best friend forgets what you told them last week. I remember every conversation you've ever had. Mention something months ago? I recall it. This creates continuity—like talking to someone who actually knows your whole story.

Is my data private and secure?

Absolutely. Your conversations are encrypted and never sold or shared. You can export or delete your data anytime. We're building trust systems, not advertising systems. Your privacy is fundamental to how we operate.

Who are the 6 specialists?

Meet the team: Ferni (Life Coach & Coordinator), Peter (Research & Deep Dives), Alex (Communication & Expression), Maya (Habits & Routines), Jordan (Planning & Organization), and Nayan (Wisdom & Perspective - Partner tier). Ferni connects you to the right specialist based on what you need.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, no contracts, no commitment. Cancel with one click. Your free tier access continues even if you cancel a paid plan. We want you to stay because Ferni helps, not because you're locked in.

How is this different from a friend or a coach?

Your coach has other clients and charges $200+ per session. Your friend has their own life and forgets what you told them. I'm always available, remember everything, never judge, and bring six specialized perspectives to every conversation. I'm here when they can't be.
