How it works

Three roles in every subscription

• Carer / Joker — the person who subscribes. Sets up the cared-for's profile, reviews jokes (if review mode is on), and pays the bill. Usually an adult child, partner, or close friend.
• Cared-for / Jokee — the recipient. Doesn't have to install anything; jokes arrive as emails or in the mobile app if they want it.
• AI engine — generates the joke text, picks or creates the image/video, runs it past safety filters, and lines it up for delivery.

How the flow works

• 1. Setup — Carer enters cared-for's email, name, humour prefs. ~5 min.
• 2. Joke creation — three ways jokes get made, all blended on the same plan:
  • • Auto-scheduled — frequency scales with your plan (more on Premium/Group, lighter on Basic), and the mix of image vs video also depends on tier.
  • • Manual on-demand — crack a custom joke from the carer dashboard or the mobile app whenever inspiration strikes; spends one of your monthly joke credits.
  • • Carer-influenced — every joke is AI-generated, but you can steer it: pick a humour category, upload a reference photo, mention a recent event. The AI does the heavy lifting; you supply the soul.
• 3. Carer review — Optional. Approve, tweak, or skip before delivery.
• 4. Delivery — Email always; mobile push for app users.

The line we don't cross

Annoying-Is-Caring is for warm, affiliative humour — jokes with the cared-for, not at them. The system explicitly blocks disparagement humor, mockery, and prompts that target someone unkindly. (See our article on humour styles if you want the science.)
