Rusty is an AI companion designed specifically for the complex reality of distributed family care. It helps families coordinate care, stay connected, and support each other emotionally and practically across different cities, time zones, and countries.

Built by carers for carers, Rusty combines advanced AI with emotional intelligence, multilingual support, privacy-first design, and multi-user collaboration to make caregiving less overwhelming and more connected.

Rusty was founded from the personal caregiving experiences of its founder, Alexandria Arbuckle, who cared for her father with Alzheimer's and mother through cancer from multiple locations. The mission is to provide families with a support system to manage the messiness and emotional complexities of caregiving with empathy and technology.

The company values privacy, real-life usability, and building a community of carers who feel understood and supported. It is launching in Fall 2025 with early access via a waitlist.
