Two 15-Year-Old Founders Build AI Assistant That Helps Elderly People Use Technology Without Apps

KANPUR, India - June 1, 2026 - PRLog -- Most digital services assume users are comfortable switching between apps, remembering passwords, and navigating complex interfaces. For many elderly users, that remains a significant barrier.

Two 15-year-old student founders from India, Pavitra Kushwaha and Aditya Bhatia, are building Orca AI, an AI-powered assistant designed to simplify everyday digital tasks through natural language.

Instead of opening multiple applications, users can simply describe what they want to do. Orca AI is being developed to help people complete common tasks such as booking cabs, ordering groceries, managing online services, and interacting with digital platforms through a conversational interface.

The project emerged from a simple observation: while technology has become more powerful, it has not necessarily become easier for everyone to use. The founders believe artificial intelligence can act as a layer between users and complex software, making technology more accessible to elderly individuals and those who are less comfortable with smartphones.

Both founders have been actively involved in technology projects, startup initiatives, and student-led communities. Their broader goal with Orca AI is to reduce digital friction and make modern services accessible through simple conversations rather than complicated interfaces.

As development continues, the team plans to work closely with real users to better understand the challenges faced by elderly individuals when interacting with technology and online services.
