Samwise by Teton

Samwise by Teton is an analytics tool. Samwise is Teton's AI agent for senior living care teams. Staff ask plain-language questions about residents, shifts or weekly patterns and get answers drawn from the monitoring data the Teton platform already collects.

Samwise is an AI agent built by Teton for care teams in senior living. It sits on top of the monitoring data that the Teton platform already collects and lets staff query that data by typing a question, rather than opening dashboards and reports to piece together what happened. The core idea is to replace chart-hunting with a direct conversation about residents, shifts and buildings. The questions it handles range from a single resident to a whole shift to patterns across a week. Typical uses described by the vendor include reviewing sleep disruption to spot residents who may need attention, checking how staffing and care hours line up with resident needs, investigating the context around falls and incidents, and producing summaries such as a recap of the previous week for handovers and reviews. The product walkthrough is organised around four capabilities: turning questions into answers, understanding shifts quickly, detecting changes early and generating reports instantly. In practice, Samwise is an add-on to an existing Teton deployment rather than a standalone chatbot. Its answers come from the building's own monitoring data, so it is only as useful as the data the Teton platform captures. Access runs through Teton's web app, and getting started goes through a demo request rather than self-service sign-up. The site also publishes an FAQ covering how it differs from generic assistants, whether the AI is trained on resident data, whether it counts as a medical device and whether staff need training, although the answers are not visible in the page content. Among alternatives, Samwise competes less with general-purpose assistants and more with traditional reporting tools and electronic care record dashboards. Its advantage is speed of access for non-technical staff working shifts, plus a focus on early pattern detection and building-wide oversight. Teams that are not already using Teton's monitoring technology will find little reason to consider it, since the agent depends on that data source. Operators in senior living who want conversational reporting on resident activity are the intended audience.
