Founder’s Letter

I’ve always known that growing old can be difficult.

As a child, I spent every June with my grandparents. I rode beside my grandfather in his old truck as we fed the goats and cattle, and I helped my grandmother with chores around the house. She also taught me how to cook. Looking back, those summers became some of the most important lessons of my life.

Over the years, I quietly watched the challenges of aging unfold.

Simple tasks that most of us never think twice about—lifting heavy feed bags into the truck, taking out the trash, or working outside—became a little harder each year. I also noticed something else. The smiles that once came so easily became less frequent as life’s physical demands slowly began to outweigh their strength.

When my grandfather was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, those struggles became even more apparent. After he passed away, my grandmother faced the difficult task of building a new chapter of life without the man she had shared so much with.

She turned to genealogy.

As a retired schoolteacher with a brilliant mind, she immersed herself in researching our family’s history. Through her work, I discovered that members of our family had fought for Texas Independence and that some had given their lives at the Alamo, holding the Mexican army long enough for families farther east to escape.

They were ordinary people who made extraordinary sacrifices.

I realized that my grandmother wasn’t simply researching names on a family tree. She was reconnecting with the strength, resilience, and courage that had always been part of her family. Knowing where she came from gave her hope and purpose during one of the most difficult seasons of her life.

Even today, I still think about those summer mornings with my grandfather—the dusty roads, the livestock, the conversations, and the quiet lessons that shaped who I am.

Those memories have never left me.

They also planted the seed for what would eventually become Cohabit.

Help is coming.

Very soon.

Many of the struggles we experience throughout life—whether we’re young or old—can often be overcome with a little extra strength, a helping hand, or words of encouragement at just the right moment. Yet asking for help can feel uncomfortable, and becoming dependent on others can be deeply painful. Coordinating care, knowing who to call, and finding support when it’s needed most can be overwhelming for families everywhere.

No one accomplishes anything meaningful alone.

The future of intelligent humanoid robotics offers something remarkable—not as a replacement for human love or connection, but as another member of the team. A helping hand when lifting becomes difficult. A reassuring voice during uncertain moments. A source of encouragement, assistance, and companionship that allows people to remain independent longer while giving families greater peace of mind.

For the first time in history, that future is no longer science fiction.

We are living at the beginning of a new era—one where humans and intelligent humanoids will learn to live and work together in ways that help people flourish.

That is why I created Cohabit.

This is only the beginning.
