Meet Cara.
Your team’s AI mental health companion, built with care and clinical integrity.
Cara (noun) /ˈkɑːrə/ — From the Irish word for “friend.”
A trusted companion; someone who listens, supports, and helps you find your balance.
Cara is our AI-powered companion, which provides emotional support for your daily wellbeing. It’s backed by clinical-grade safety, with 24/7 escalation to clinicians for immediate human support.
Everyday support, evidence based.
