Abstract

 Many older adults want to stay socially active and independent, but loneliness, limited mobility and unfamiliar technology often get in the way. We examine twenty research papers on artificial intelligence for companionship, healthcare, recommendation, conversation and mobility, looking at each paper’s approach, findings and limitations, and at what it means for a platform built around senior citizens. The evidence shows that digital tools can strengthen social connectedness, offer conversational help, personalize recommendations, deliver health information and be made easier for older people to use, yet the studies rarely combine these functions. Reciprocal companion matching for seniors, meetup planning, mobility-aware personalization, multilingual interaction and AI answers grounded in trusted sources remain largely unexplored. Using a literature search, relevance screening, full-text checks and thematic grouping, we map these gaps to the technical direction of SilverConnect AI, our proposed system: semantic embeddings, reciprocal and personalized recommendation, retrieval-augmented generation, large language models and multi-agent orchestration.
