A community-leisure service that helps older adults find and join small-group outings and trips built around their interests.
JELLNESS runs Shumitime, a service for older adults, especially women in their 60s and 70s, who want to take part in activities without needing to organize a group of friends or family. Its small-group outings range from half-day walks, food and cultural visits to lessons, performances, hikes and overnight trips, with guides and like-minded participants meeting at the destination.
The company plans experiences itself and uses customer conversations, feedback and past participation to shape future itineraries around what people want to try. It says AI supports this personalization and operating model, helping the team turn individual interests into activities that can be offered to more people.
