Why Vela

Some feelings don't wait for office hours

01
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.
02
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.
03
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. 2am panic? Vela is awake.
Personalised Care
Onboarding captures your concerns and therapy style. Vela adapts — CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or just warm listening. In 6 languages.

How it works

Three steps to feeling heard

01
Open & Onboard
Download Vela. Answer a few questions about what you're going through — anxiety, stress, insomnia, relationships — and how you'd like support. No accounts maze. No credit card. Just an email.
Takes 2 minutes
02
Start Talking
Type, speak, or share an image. Vela responds in real time with streaming text — warm, thoughtful, never clinical. It adapts its approach based on what you told it and what it learns over time.
Chat · Voice · Images
03
Grow Over Time
Vela remembers. It tracks patterns, extracts insights, and builds context across sessions. Your 20th conversation is smarter than your first. Summaries, memories, and emotional awareness — all automatic.
