No — it's a structured support tool designed to extend your clinical work between sessions, not replace it. Think of it as a way to keep patients engaged, practicing skills, and feeling supported during the gaps when you're not available.
The AI operates strictly within the coaching framework you define. You choose the modality (CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, or fully custom), set per-patient goals and behavioral guidelines, and can update those parameters at any time as treatment evolves. The AI does not improvise outside your clinical intent — it follows your configuration.
A few important safeguards are always in place:
- ·Full visibility. Complete transcripts of every coaching session appear in your provider portal (if your patient gives permission), so you always know what was discussed.
- ·Crisis safety is always active. A built-in crisis safety protocol monitors for warning signs and can surface alerts to you. This cannot be disabled.
- ·Transparent with patients. The AI discloses its coaching nature every session. Patients are reminded they're interacting with an AI, not their clinician.
- ·Defers to you. It is not a licensed provider, does not make clinical decisions, and will always direct patients back to you for anything outside its defined scope.
Between-session coaching is best understood as a tool that helps patients practice skills, stay accountable, and feel supported — not a substitute for the therapeutic relationship, clinical judgment, or crisis intervention that only you can provide.
