AI Chat Companion
A private, always-available conversation space for support, reflection, and coping strategies.
Overview
The chat companion is tuned specifically for mental wellness support. It is non-judgemental, context-aware, and focused on helping you feel heard. It asks follow-up questions rather than jumping to conclusions, suggests evidence-based coping techniques when appropriate, and monitors for signs of serious distress.
Starting a Conversation
Open the Chat screen
Tap the chat icon in the bottom navigation or from the Home quick-actions strip.
Type your message
Write anything - "I'm feeling overwhelmed", "Help me calm down", or just "I need to talk". There is no wrong way to start.
Receive a response
The AI responds with empathy and a relevant question or reflection, usually within 2-4 seconds.
