Grief Counselor · Mindful Meadows

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe BeThereBearLabs offers something new and truly meaningful in grief work—a way for families to hear a loved one's voice again. I have had the pleasure of seeing the comfort it brings is real and genuinely therapeutic, and have watched it move people deeply.

Why we built this

Growing up, family was everything to me. The voices around the dinner table, the stories told again and again, the small "I love yous" — those are the things you'd give anything to hear one more time.

I built BeThereBear so the people we love can always be heard — so their voice can live somewhere you can hold, for the people who'll always want to hear it.

— Founder, BeThereBearLabs · Chicago

How it works

Getting their voice right is everything.

Proprietary voice replication model

Our own model, tuned to capture how a person truly sounds — not a generic voice tool.

Built by data scientists from Uber & Amazon

Engineered by people who've built and shipped serious technology at scale.

Preferred over other models

When families compare side by side, they consistently choose ours over other voice replication models.

Lost her husband

"I can't thank them enough for giving me my husband's voice back. They were so easy to work with, I listen to my bear every night."

The things you'd give anything to hear one more time.

The way they said your name. The nickname only they used. "I'm proud of you." "I love you." The advice they'd give right now if they could. New messages, in their voice. Hug your bear, and you'll hear them.
