It started with
a simple
“What if?”
A PERSONAL BEGINNINGInspired by family.
Inspired by family.
Made for connection.
Our founder introduced his mother and aunt in Australia to AI. Their nervousness turned into enthusiasm once they saw how approachable it could be. That experience inspired Connected Years: a friendly space for older adults to explore, create and connect.
That moment sparked an idea: give more older adults the chance to discover what they can create, in a friendly space where someone is there to help.
Today, that idea is Connected Years.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERINGCuriosity
Curiosity
welcome.
Still have a question?
We’d love to hear from you.
What is Connected Years?
Connected Years brings small, guided, in-person AI creativity workshops to senior living communities. Our flagship Postcards & Poems workshop helps residents create a personal postcard, poem or letter.
Who are the workshops designed for?
Older adults in independent and assisted living communities. We work with the community team to discuss suitability and support needs before agreeing a session.
Do residents need technology experience?
No prior AI experience is needed. A facilitator introduces each step and stays with the group throughout. Residents bring their ideas and curiosity.
Do residents need their own devices?
Tablets are provided for the guided workshop. Residents do not need to bring or purchase a device.
How long does a session last?
The standard Postcards & Poems experience lasts 45 minutes, from a gentle introduction to optional sharing and a wrap-up.
How many residents can participate?
The standard workshop is planned for six to eight residents, allowing room for individual guidance. Other group sizes can be discussed with Brenton.
What do residents create?
Residents can create a postcard, a letter, a poem or another short creative keepsake. They direct the ideas and wording; the AI assistant helps them explore possibilities. Printed keepsake arrangements are discussed when the session is confirmed.
How does the free pilot work?
Eligible new communities can request a free introductory workshop. We discuss fit, practical arrangements and a suitable date. Submitting a request does not confirm a booking or commit you to a paid package.
What happens after a pilot?
We invite the community team to share feedback. If you would like to continue, we can discuss a custom arrangement that fits your activities calendar. There is no automatic paid commitment.
How are packages priced?
Programs are quoted individually, based on the agreed scope and arrangements. Contact us for a custom quote; there is no online payment or fixed public price list.
How is resident privacy protected?
This website collects business enquiry details, not resident accounts or personal creative work. Please do not enter resident names, photographs, health information or writings into the form. AI tool use and keepsake handling are discussed with the community before a session.
What does the community need to provide?
We will discuss the room, access, connectivity and any staff support with your team before confirming the workshop. We do not assume those practical details are the same for every community.
