Why we're doing this
Mental health support is broken. Hotlines get overwhelmed. Wait times are long. Too many people give up before getting help. We've all seen it happen.
So we're building something different. An AI that can provide immediate support and triage—not to replace human connection, but to make sure no one waits alone during a crisis.
The goal is simple: when someone needs help at 3 AM, there's actually someone (or something) there to answer.
Free for everyone
Crisis support shouldn't have a price tag.
AI + humans together
Tech handles the immediate. People handle the personal.
Privacy first
Your struggles are yours. We don't sell data.
The platform we're building
ASTRAL CORE
Think of it like triage at an emergency room, but for mental health crises. AI handles the immediate response. Humans take over when personal connection matters.
Still in alpha, but the core tech works. We're focused on getting it right before we scale.
Available at 3 AM
When nothing else is open
Fast response
Real humans too
Private. Always.
14 languages
Multi-stage AI safety with real-time crisis detection
Where we're at
We're not going to pretend we've helped thousands of people yet. Here's an honest look at where we actually are.
Alpha Stage
We're still building. Not launched publicly yet, but getting close.
Small Team
Started by Nicholas D'Amato. Looking to grow with the right people.
Goal: 24/7
That's what we're working toward. Always-on crisis support.
Open Development
Building in public. We'll share real numbers when we have them.
