Ember: Talk It Out

Say the thing you keep coming back to.

Ember is an AI thinking partner for real life, for the things that don't have a right answer. Talk it out by text or out loud. Ember listens, asks when it helps, and draws on how things went for people who stood where you're standing. It won't decide for you. It helps you see what matters to you, and leaves the deciding to you.

WHAT PEOPLE BRING TO EMBER
A relationship that ended, or one you're no longer sure about. Trust that broke and a story that doesn't add up. Someone you love and a line you need to hold. A job, a move, a choice where both options make sense. A change that's left you unsure who you are now. Or a late night when there's no one left to tell.

TALK IT OUT
• Type it, say it out loud, or call Ember.
• Send a screenshot or a photo when it helps show what happened.
• Start anywhere, in your own words. Your conversation with Ember carries on, so you never have to start over.
• Ember asks the question you might be skipping, and gives you room to answer it. No lecture, no verdict.

YOUR EMBERS
What you tell comes back as one clear page in your own words: your Ember. Keep your Embers in your notebook, return to them when you need to, or delete them anytime. You can close your notebook with a password only you know.

INFORMED BY REAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Information can tell you what a choice means. Experience can show you what it feels like to live one.
• Every situation people bring to Ember has a light on Ember's tree. Tap one to see how many people have stood there, and ask what they went through.
• When it helps, Ember can show you how it went for a few people who stood in the same place, in Ember's own words, with no names and no one's words.
• Now and then, Ember may hand you one person's account in their own words, because they said yes to it being read.

ROOMS
When a few people are going through something close to the same thing, Ember may invite you to a room: a small, anonymous group chat of three or four people and Ember, under names used only there. You're only in a room if you say yes. A room stays open for at least ten days, and closes once it has been quiet for three.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Nothing you tell becomes a public post, and it is never open to search engines. No other user can read your Ember unless you separately say yes, and you can close it again anytime. Eligible deidentified information may inform Ember unless you turn that off. The small team at Oriscen that builds Ember can read conversations to keep Ember safe and to make it better. The only thing that ever shows publicly is the situation your experience stands on and how many people have stood there, never your words.

Ember is an AI. It can be wrong. It is not therapy, medical care, crisis counseling, or an emergency service. If you're in danger, please contact local emergency services. For adults 18 and over.
