04, Built-In

Built-In Integrity

Conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. They are not used to train shared models.

01

Real-Time Awareness

If you mention self-harm or hopelessness, LAura surfaces 988 and the Crisis Text Line in the same message.

02

Crisis Resource Integration

When needed, crisis resources appear immediately. No searching required.

03

Immediate Support Access

Crisis information is always one tap away, in every session.

04

Age Verification

LAura is designed for adults 18 and older. We verify age and provide youth resources when needed.

05, Tiers

Tiered Monitoring

Four Tiers of Concern

How LAura responds tracks what you're saying. Casual check-ins stay casual. Signs of distress pull the conversation toward safety.

Tier 0

No Concern

Normal coaching continues with full access to all features and modes.

Tier 1

Low-Level Concern

LAura gently validates your feelings, asks clarifying questions, and checks in to understand your needs better.

Tier 2

Elevated Concern

LAura shifts focus to supportive awareness, surfaces relevant crisis resources, and pauses non-safety topics.

Tier 3, Critical Safety Lock

Urgent Concern

Crisis resources are displayed immediately and prominently. The conversation focuses entirely on your safety and connecting you with professional help.

06, Discipline

07, Professional
Professional Care

When to Seek Help

If you are experiencing persistent symptoms, thoughts of self-harm, or need clinical treatment, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. LAura can help you prepare for and supplement professional care, but she is not a replacement for it.
