Ankota Introduces KOTA: An AI Companion Transforming the Future of Home Care

Boston, MA — Ankota, a Boston-based software company focused on helping older and disabled individuals live independently, today announced the launch of KOTA, an AI-powered companion that brings empathy, connection, and safety to the home care experience.

As baby boomers begin reaching their 80s, the United States faces an unprecedented home care crisis. Demand for caregivers is projected to surge, while the pool of available workers has been declining for more than 15 years. “The math doesn’t work anymore,” said Ken Accardi, Ankota’s founder and CEO. “There simply aren’t enough people to meet the growing need, which means technology must become an integral part of how we care.”

KOTA offers a bridge between human compassion and technological support. It provides daily companionship and conversation for older adults while seamlessly connecting them to their circle of care - including family members, home care agencies, and Ankota’s 24/7 emergency call center. If a concern arises, KOTA can escalate the issue automatically, ensuring that help is available at any hour.

Beyond companionship, KOTA represents a new category of care platform technology designed for the coming decade. It empowers home care agencies to lead the way in blending people and technology—offering value-added services, improving care outcomes, and maintaining strong human connections even as caregiver shortages deepen.

“Agencies that embrace technology will not only survive but thrive,” Accardi added. “They’ll be the ones offering premium, tech-enhanced care, rather than watching third-party apps move in beside them.”

KOTA is available now to home care agencies, disability service providers, and family caregivers seeking modern ways to extend compassionate support at home. Learn more at www.kota.care.
