Responsible use: when companion chat helps — and when to call a professional
Boundaries for emotional-support-adjacent products: crisis resources, therapy disclaimers, and realistic expectations.
Companion chat can help people decompress, explore creativity, or practice social phrasing. It cannot replace licensed mental health care or emergency response.
Crisis
If you or someone else is at immediate risk, contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country. Software chat is the wrong tool for acute danger.
Therapy
Therapists train for diagnosis, treatment planning, and duty of care. AI personas do none of that. Use Soft Corner for companionship within boundaries, not as clinical treatment.
