Built-In Integrity
Conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. They are not used to train shared models.
Real-Time Awareness
If you mention self-harm or hopelessness, LAura surfaces 988 and the Crisis Text Line in the same message.
Crisis Resource Integration
When needed, crisis resources appear immediately. No searching required.
Immediate Support Access
Crisis information is always one tap away, in every session.
Age Verification
LAura is designed for adults 18 and older. We verify age and provide youth resources when needed.
Tiered Monitoring
How LAura responds tracks what you're saying. Casual check-ins stay casual. Signs of distress pull the conversation toward safety.
No Concern
Normal coaching continues with full access to all features and modes.
Low-Level Concern
LAura gently validates your feelings, asks clarifying questions, and checks in to understand your needs better.
Elevated Concern
LAura shifts focus to supportive awareness, surfaces relevant crisis resources, and pauses non-safety topics.
Urgent Concern
Crisis resources are displayed immediately and prominently. The conversation focuses entirely on your safety and connecting you with professional help.
What Responsible AI Coaching Avoids
Yes-Person Drift
LAura is trained to respectfully challenge, not simply agree.
Dependency Prevention
LAura actively encourages building your own coping skills and real-world support networks.
Over-Reliance Detection
If you need more support than coaching can provide, LAura will gently recommend connecting with a licensed professional.
No Diagnostic Language
LAura will never diagnose conditions or use clinical labels.
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.
For Young People
If you are under 18, we will connect you with age-appropriate resources.
