Why Vela

Some feelings don't wait for office hours

It knows where you left off

Every conversation picks up from the last. No retelling your story. No starting over. Vela remembers what matters to you — your struggles, your breakthroughs, your patterns — using long-term semantic memory that grows with every session.

It listens with its ears too

Sometimes typing isn't enough. Talk to Vela out loud — voice-to-text powered by Whisper turns your words into a conversation that feels like an actual one. Just speak. Vela understands.

No overwhelm. Just presence.

Three screens. One conversation. Nothing to manage, configure, or figure out. Vela adapts its approach — CBT, mindfulness, supportive listening — based on what you need, not what you choose from a menu.

Features

Support that actually understands

Built for real people with real pressures. Vela combines cutting-edge AI with deep emotional intelligence.

AI Chat Support

Text-based conversations that feel human. Vela listens, remembers, and responds with empathy. Share text or images — Vela sees and understands both.

Voice Sessions

Talk it out with AI-powered voice. Sometimes you just need to speak and be heard. Vela transcribes and responds in real time.

Remembers You

Vela builds long-term memory of your patterns, triggers, and breakthroughs. Session 50 knows everything Session 1 learned. No repeating yourself.

Private & Secure

End-to-end encrypted. Your conversations stay yours. No data sold. Ever. Firebase Auth + PostgreSQL with full data isolation.

Available 24/7

No waitlists, no scheduling. Vela is there whenever you need support — day or night. Your feelings don't keep office hours.

Personalised Care

Onboarding captures your concerns and therapy style. Vela adapts — CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or just warm listening. In 6 languages.
