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.
Why it exists
Section titled “Why it exists”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.
