Verbali, a company founded by parents of non-verbal children, has released MaTalk AI, a free AI-powered communication app for kids who use picture-based systems to speak. The app listens to conversation happening around a child and instantly suggests relevant picture replies, so kids can respond to questions in real time rather than searching through static menus. A “Smart Starters” feature prompts children to begin conversations rather than only answer them, and a growing visual library lets families import their own photos or generate new images, with everything syncing offline for fast tapping. MaTalk AI is available now, free on iOS and Android.
Why it matters: Real-time, context-aware suggestions could cut the time and effort AAC users spend hunting for the right words, making everyday conversation faster and less tiring for non-verbal children and their families.
