What is Faxi?

Faxi turns the fax machine your parent already owns into a window to the internet.

No computers or smartphones. Nothing new to buy. All your parent does is what they’ve always done: write on paper and send a fax. Faxi reads it, does the digital task on their behalf, and faxes back the result.

As more of life moves online, everyday things keep getting harder for older people without a computer or smartphone. But staying in touch, booking a doctor, or ordering groceries shouldn’t mean learning new technology.

A fax machine is a familiar, trusted tool they’ve used for decades. Faxi isn’t “the internet made easier.” It’s a personal assistant on the other end of the fax line.

  • Email — send email to family and friends; replies come back as faxes
  • Ask anything — cooking tips, gift ideas, advice, looking things up, and more
  • Shopping — request items by fax, circle the options that come back, and they’re delivered
  • Appointments — book doctors, salons, and more by fax
  • Contacts — manage an address book by fax

See What Faxi can do for details.

The family member does the setup — about 2 minutes. No hardware to ship, no app to install, nothing to explain to them.
