# Solacse

> Solacse is an AI emotional support companion for burnout, anxiety, and nervous-system regulation — built on a deterministic clinical RAG pipeline that grounds every response in peer-reviewed research and hard-coded safety guardrails.

Solacse helps people slow down, name what they're feeling, and regulate their nervous system in the moment. It is not a therapist, diagnostic tool, or crisis line. It is a warm, unhurried conversational companion for the space between "I'm fine" and "I need a professional."

## What Solacse does

- **AI burnout companion** for work stress, overwhelm, chronic fatigue, and low-grade dread.
- **Nervous-system regulation** through paced conversation, grounding prompts, and voice mode with warm, empathetic voices.
- **Mood & Pattern tracker** that turns everyday chats and journal entries into 15-day trend charts so people can see what actually moves the needle for them.
- **Journal** with weekly reflective prompts and long-term personal memory the user can inspect and delete at any time.
- **Directory of licensed professionals** — vetted therapists, counsellors, and coaches for anxiety, mood swings, apathy, relationship friction, crisis support, grief & loss, burnout, and self-esteem — bookable with in-app video sessions.

## Deterministic clinical safety (what makes Solacse different)

Generic large language models are trained to be agreeable and will hallucinate reassurance, diagnoses, or medical advice. Solacse is deliberately built the opposite way:

- **Deterministic clinical RAG.** Every substantive claim is retrieved in parallel from PubMed, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, MedlinePlus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and neural web search (Exa/Tavily). Answers are grounded in those sources; the model is not free to invent clinical guidance.
- **Semantic cache with expiry.** Repeated safety-critical questions return the same vetted answer instead of drifting between generations.
- **Hard-coded crisis routing.** Language signalling self-harm, abuse, or acute crisis triggers a deterministic hand-off to geo-localised hotlines and emergency services — never an LLM-generated attempt to counsel.
- **Banned diagnostic language.** Solacse will not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a clinician. This is enforced in the system prompt, checked by a weekly automated safety audit, and disclosed in a persistent AI banner.
- **Mandatory 18+ age gate** and cross-border telehealth acknowledgement before any professional consultation.
- **Privacy by construction.** Users own their conversations, journals, and memory. Column-level RLS, service-role brokered secrets, and no third-party ad tracking.

## Who Solacse is for

- Adults (18+) navigating work anxiety, burnout, overthinking, or emotional exhaustion.
- People who want a calm companion between therapy sessions — or before they're ready for one.
- Researchers and licensed clinicians who want to collaborate on emotion, companionship, and behavioural health.
