Compassion scaled with safety, not shortcuts.
AI Counselor is a conversational care companion designed around clinical guardrails. Evidence-based frameworks, transparent escalation, and a hard line at the limits of what an AI should do alone.
The hard parts come first.
We started with safety, not features. Everything else is built around clear boundaries, transparent handoffs, and clinician-in-the-loop oversight.
Crisis detection first
Real-time monitoring for risk signals. When detected, the conversation hands off to a human path, not a longer AI reply.
Evidence-based frameworks
CBT, DBT, and motivational-interviewing techniques implemented as auditable conversation policies, not vibes.
Transparent escalation
The user always knows when they're talking to an AI, when a human will step in, and why.
Clinician in the loop
Licensed clinicians own oversight. AI Counselor augments their caseload; it does not replace their judgment.
Privacy by default
HIPAA-aware data handling, end-to-end encryption, and minimal retention.
Multi-modal intake
Text, voice, and structured assessments — the user picks the surface that feels safest.
When the AI stops and the human starts.
AI Counselor is built to extend a clinician's reach, not bypass it. The product is the handoff as much as the conversation.
- Scoped autonomy— AI Counselor handles psychoeducation, journaling, and skill practice. It does not diagnose.
- Explicit triggers— Risk markers, scope limits, and time-in-session caps each route to a human path.
- Context preserved— Clinicians see a structured session summary, not a raw transcript dump.
- Closed loop— Outcomes feed back into the safety eval suite to prevent regressions over time.
Clinicians and care orgs: let's pilot together.
We're working with licensed providers and digital health teams on the first deployments.
