Talk things through with Aura — an AI coach for self-reflection
psyarea is an experimental AI journal and coach for personal growth and everyday wellbeing. Aura guides calm, structured conversations by text or voice — a journal that writes back — and helps you practise between them.
- Wellbeing & coaching — not therapy, not a medical device
- Aura is an AI, not a person
- For adults
Clear boundaries
What psyarea is — and what it isn’t
psyarea is
- A tool for self-reflection, personal growth and coaching-style conversations
- Exercises you can repeat on your own: a thought journal, mood check-ins, breathing
- An open experiment in how an AI companion and human professionals can work together
- A place where you stay in control of what you share, with whom, and for how long
psyarea is not
- Psychotherapy or any other medical treatment
- A medical device — Aura doesn’t diagnose, treat or prescribe
- A replacement for a doctor, psychologist or therapist
- An emergency service — if you’re in danger, call 112
How it works
Three small steps, at your own pace
- 01
Talk it through
Tell Aura what’s on your mind, by text or voice. She asks good questions and helps you sort your thoughts — without judgement and without hurry.
- 02
Practise in between
Short exercises build on what you discussed: a thought journal, mood check-ins, breathing to slow down.
- 03
Notice what changes
Simple summaries help you see patterns over time. Work with a coach or therapist? You can choose to share them.
Inside psyarea
Everything for working on yourself — in one calm place
Conversations and exercises are connected: a mood check-in or a journal entry can become the starting point of your next conversation with Aura.
Thought journal
Write down a situation, the thought it triggered and how you felt — then look at it from another angle.
Mood check-ins
A few seconds a day to notice your ups and downs and what influences them.
Breathing exercises
Guided rhythms such as 4-7-8 breathing to help you slow down and unwind.
Small next steps
Aura helps you turn an insight into one small, concrete step — and keeps your steps together on your path.

Read the checklistFor professionals & organisations
Shape the tools for your practice
We’re exploring how an AI companion can support the work of coaches, psychologists and practices — without replacing it. Join the beta as a professional or organisation and help us shape it.
Reflections your client shares
Your client decides what to share with you — themes, exercises, check-ins — so a conversation can start where life actually is.
Your own exercises
Bring the reflection exercises you already use in your work, so Aura can offer them between your sessions.
Built with practitioners
Beta professionals get early access, a direct line to the team and a real say in what we build next.
Safety & privacy
Calm by design, careful by default
Crisis protocol
If a conversation suggests you may be in danger, Aura pauses the usual flow, says clearly that she can’t help in an emergency and shows you crisis lines.
Always transparent
Aura is an AI coach — not a person and not a therapist. She says so, and she is built not to pretend otherwise.
Shared only with consent
Connecting a professional is your choice. Full conversations are shared only if you allow it, your journal stays private — and you can delete everything at any time.
Made for adults
psyarea is designed for adults who want to work on themselves — not for children or teenagers.
Why “experimental”
An honest experiment in AI-supported wellbeing
AI companions are new, and so are the questions around them. psyarea is a research-minded project: we test how structured AI conversations, simple self-help exercises and human professionals can work together — and we say openly what we don’t know yet.
In the beta, features will change, some things won’t work perfectly, and your feedback helps shape what we build next. We don’t promise results.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is psyarea therapy?
No. psyarea is a tool for self-reflection, coaching and wellbeing. It doesn’t diagnose or treat any condition and isn’t a medical device. If you’re looking for therapy, please contact a licensed professional — you can still use psyarea alongside it if you like.
Who is the beta for?
Adults who want a structured way to reflect, handle everyday stress or build better habits — and coaches, psychologists, practices and organisations who want to help shape AI-supported coaching tools.
Can an AI really help me?
An AI can help you put thoughts into words, practise exercises and notice patterns — that can be helpful for everyday stress and personal growth. It can’t replace a human professional, especially when it comes to mental health conditions. psyarea is built around exactly that boundary.
When does the beta start?
We’ll write to everyone on the list as soon as the beta opens. All details about access will be in that email.
Which languages will be available?

What if I’m in crisis right now?
Please don’t wait for an app. If you are in immediate danger, call 112 in the EU or your local emergency number. In the UK and Ireland, Samaritans are free and available 24/7 on 116 123; in the US, call or text 988.
