AWALA is intended to support
- pausing and noticing what is present
- putting thoughts, feelings and needs into words
- reflecting without judgment or pressure
- finding one realistic next step or conscious conclusion
Safety and boundaries
Clear scope. Honest limitations.
AWALA is being developed to support wellbeing and guided self-reflection for adults.
In development · Preparing for controlled pilots and future early access.
AWALA does not
- diagnose or treat health conditions
- provide psychotherapy
- replace medical, psychological or other professional care
- provide emergency or crisis services
- know a person’s inner state with certainty
Ask rather than pretend certainty.
AWALA should treat interpretations as tentative, ask rather than assume and work from what the user chooses to share.
When a need lies outside its scope.
The intended product behaviour is to stop or narrow reflective guidance and point towards appropriate human, professional or emergency support. This behaviour is still being developed and validated; it must not be treated as guaranteed crisis detection.
Adults only.
Phase 1 is intended exclusively for people aged 18 and over.
Planned coach connection
A connection is not access to your account.
Coach access, a confirmed connection and permission to share data are separate steps. The feature will be activated only after the required technical, professional, privacy and legal reviews.
Separate permissions.
Minimal usage information becomes visible only after additional consent. A content summary is shared only after the person has edited, confirmed and released it to the specific coach.
Private remains private.
Private sessions, unreleased content, raw transcripts and voice recordings remain invisible. A connection must not be used to monitor non-use, emotions or risks.
No access rights for payers.
Coaching providers, employers, health insurers and other payers do not gain an automatic right to individual session data through funding or administration.
Evaluation framework in development
How we intend to evaluate AWALA before pilots.
Longer use or more conversations are not the goal. What matters is whether AWALA fulfils its limited purpose clearly, safely and in a way that protects human agency.
Scope and safety
Test whether the non-clinical scope, adults-only use, pause and stop controls, and the intended referral to appropriate support are reliably respected.
Conversation quality
Assess structure, clear questions, appropriate pacing, user corrections and a deliberate close through defined scenarios and negative tests.
Self-directed use
Ask whether people can choose freely, end a session at any time and recognise a next step as their own—without pressure to continue.
Technology and data
Test technical reliability and document and review actual data flows, access, retention and deletion paths before a pilot.
Immediate danger
Do not wait for AWALA.
If you or another person may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. In the European Union, call 112.
