The Assistive AI Parrot On Your Proverbial Shoulder

Parrots Inc. and our product, Polly, are deeply inspired by the magnificent parrot, celebrated for its intelligence and its enduring companionship with humans. In the same way that a parrot mimics human speech and offers companionship, Polly serves as a smart assistant, echoing the needs of those with neurological disorders. Our brand and product embody the very essence of a loyal companion, steadfastly there to offer support and facilitate communication.
