# Second Act

> A free guide and AI companion for people who have just retired or are retiring
> soon. Second Act covers the non-financial side of life after work: purpose,
> community, hobbies, volunteering, travel, and trusted practical resources.

Second Act does not give financial or medical advice. For benefits and
healthcare questions it links to the official administering agency rather than
paraphrasing rules that change.

Audience: retirees and adults aged roughly 55 and over, and people planning the
transition out of full-time work.
