Vela: Anxiety & Panic Relief

Some moments don’t need a lesson or a list of solutions. You just need to talk.

Vela is an AI companion you can talk with by voice or text when you feel anxious, panicked, stressed, low, or simply need to let something out.

Available at any hour, Vela gives you a calm space to talk without appointments, pressure, or judgment.

Talk with Vela

Tell Vela what you’re feeling, even when you don’t know how to explain it yet. Vela listens first and responds with gentle questions and practical ways to help you work through the moment.

You can write whenever you want or talk by voice when typing doesn’t feel like enough.

Whether it’s anxiety before an important day, stress that won’t let you sleep, a difficult conversation, or a moment when everything feels too heavy, Vela is there to talk it through with you.

When panic hits

Open SOS with one tap for immediate access to:

• Guided, paced breathing
• 5-4-3-2-1 grounding
• Simple steps to help you reconnect with the present

SOS works without signing in or creating an account, so you can reach it quickly when you need it.

A check-in without pressure

Record how you feel with one tap: calm, okay, low, on edge, or panicky.

Check-ins are always optional. There are no streaks to protect, grades to earn, or red numbers telling you that you’ve failed.

Understand your patterns

Over time, Vela helps you notice:

• When difficult moments tend to begin
• Situations that may be connected to them
• What helps you feel more grounded
• How your mood changes over time

These insights are designed for self-reflection, not diagnosis or judgment.
