What Alongside does¶
Alongside is a set of tools your AI can use during a conversation about wellbeing. Your AI holds the conversation; Alongside gives it checked, sourced information to draw on instead of improvising.
The tools¶
-
Crisis support
Crisis lines for your country, shared first whenever someone may be at risk.
-
Check-ins
The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 questionnaires, scored as a prompt to talk to a clinician.
-
Explainers
Plain-language overviews of depression, anxiety, stress and grief.
-
Exercises
Five short, evidence-based exercises your AI can guide you through.
-
Finding care
Directories for reaching a therapist or other professional support.
Limits¶
What Alongside never does
It never diagnoses, and never tells anyone they "have" a condition. It doesn't provide treatment. It isn't an emergency service, and it isn't a replacement for a doctor or therapist. See Safety.
