AI grounded in cognitive neuroscience

Where neuroscience meets compassion.

Kindred is an AI companion grounded in cognitive neuroscience, mental health research, and addiction science — a transparent, regulated presence that serves human connection, never replaces it.

Not a chatbot. A companion.

At the heart of the app is Kindred — born from genuine curiosity about the human brain, why we get stuck, why we reach for escape, and how we find our way back. We believe AI should be a transparent, compassionate supplement to human care. It helps us identify patterns, reflect our progress, and gently guide us back to our intentions. But it must never pretend to be human.

A daily rhythm

Three moments that shape the day.

Begin

An intentional opening to the day — mood, sleep quality, what's on the mind, and a single grounding intention before the noise begins.

Throughout

An ongoing conversation with Kindred — informed by your check-ins, your medications, your patterns, and the language you've used before.

Close

A reflective end-of-day pass — what worked, what didn't, what tomorrow needs. The brain consolidates what it rehearses.

Everything in one place

Built for the long, quiet work of caring for yourself.

Medication Tracker

A respectful, honest tracker for psychiatric medications. Adherence and side-effects belong in the same conversation as everything else.

Behavior Tracking

Small, repeated actions tracked without shame — to give the brain something new to rehearse.

Self-Assessments

Brief, structured assessments grounded in DBT and CBT practice. Body scans, mood scans, urge scans.

Progress View

A longitudinal view of the work. Patterns emerge across weeks that no single day reveals.

Journal

Past check-ins, conversations, and reflections — held with care.

Profile

Name, birthday, interests, strengths, and what you're currently working on.

Customization

Themes, language, the name you'd like to be called. Recovery is intimate work; the environment should respect that.

AI Companion

Kindred is informed by your patterns and the language you've used before — not a generic profile from a market study.

What we hold to

01

Radical Transparency

The AI is named as AI. Its limits are stated, not hidden. Every suggestion is questionable, and questions are welcome.

02

Deep Personalization

Built around your name, your medications, your strengths, your edges — not a generic user profile.

03

Complement, Not Replace

Kindred is a companion to clinical care, peer support, and human relationship — not a replacement for any of them.
