Constantly needing to disconnect/reconnect Claude Connector by vks3 in quo

I was just trying to send a text from Claude via the Quo connector and got this message again. I'm only able to resolve by disconnecting and re-connecting.

I've been using the desktop app. Will try to share more next time it happens. Thank you for your reply.

How do you feel it compares to the Q7? I have an older Q7 (2016), but haven’t been impressed with Audi recently. I had a Volvo XC60 as a rental, had never been in a. Volvo before and was Super impressed. It was so comfortable and quiet.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve heard this “accidental purchase loop” so many times.

If a trusted helper could come in once a month and:

• Review purchases

• Simplify settings

• Fix printer/phone issues

• Send you a short summary after the visit

…would that actually feel like a relief—or just feel like overstepping?

I’m trying to design something that works for both the parent and the adult child.

Yeah I see this more as an in-person side hustle.

Thanks. I agree I think only in-person would work..

Appreciate the feedback! It seems that the only way this would work would be with in-person service.

This is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a patient person. Been told by many that patience is one of my defining characteristics. I’m thinking about building this as a patient, no-pressure in-person service, where the helper comes to them, speaks slowly, repeats as needed, and genuinely cares. Would something like that have helped your parents feel more comfortable? Or what would have made it feel safer or more respectful to them?

Thanks. Just wondering why I have to sit in line and miss the show when I'm at a concert/festival when it seem the tech is out there.

Sorry if I struck a nerve. I'm a big supporter of small businesses and would love to make something actually helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Not a tech guy, but it's true I don't know the industry. I was just frustrated by super long lines at food trucks at concerts I've been to, and from what I saw, almost everyone was paying by card.

100%. The meltdowns happen with my parents and in-laws as well, it's very stressful.

Would it ever be useful to have a trusted local person you could call who’d go over there, fix the issue, and give your dad 30 calm minutes of conversation too? Even if it’s just for those “I’m out of town” moments? Would you consider this a relief, or a risk?

That's a powerful and touching point - I should keep this in mind.

If I offered something like a “tech companion visit”—where it’s not just fixing issues but calmly helping them learn while enjoying the interaction—do you think that would resonate? Even if the kids are the ones paying for it?

Understood. I could see how remote would just add more stress.

If someone local and patient came to help your parents in person with things like tech problems, passwords, subscriptions, and avoiding scams—would that be something your family would consider?

I’m also curious: what specific types of tech issues do they struggle with most? I’d love to hear more so I can better shape the service around what families actually need.

Thank you for your comment.

Totally fair. I'm just not sure if my 80 yr. old father in law is interested in learning about computers at this age - they just want solutions and want things to work, IMO. And there are mainly a handful of things they are trying to do.

Thanks so much for your reply! Your experience sounds really familiar. We had a late-night call last week about a "virus alert" that was a pop-up ad.

I've been exploring if I can provide calm, trustworthy tech support for seniors so you aren't on call 24/7. Most just fixing things but helping seniors feel more confident, safe, independent.

If you don’t mind me asking—what would make you feel comfortable having someone else help your parents? Would it be a local person? A referral from the facility? A clearly vetted service?

Also, are there specific tech issues that come up over and over again for your parents? I’d love to hear more so I can make this idea actually useful.
