Aurora isn't a standard AI
Most mental health tools offer checklists or surface-level advice. Many AI platforms do the same, relying on psychology as prior knowledge—repeating familiar ideas without much depth. Aurora is different.
It doesn’t just pull from static information. Aurora actively applies new research in real time, combining core psychology with the latest findings. In simple terms, Aurora reads relevant studies during your conversation and applies those techniques as you talk.
Every response is grounded not only in general psychology but in specific therapeutic frameworks that reflect how mental health care actually works in your specific situations. While other AI tends to generalize or oversimplify, Aurora personalizes.
Its goal is simple: to give you clear, useful direction from the very first step, offering insight that fits you instead of generic advice.

Aurora's Mission
One of the biggest challenges in mental health is the idea that one type of therapy works for everyone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, is often seen as the default. But in reality, more than half of people with depression don’t find lasting relief from CBT alone. When that happens, they are often labeled “treatment-resistant,” which can feel final and discouraging.
The problem isn’t the person—it’s the system. Finding the right therapy is hard even in the best circumstances. Depression, anxiety, and stress make decisions harder, and the maze of therapy options, insurance rules, and mismatched providers only adds to the frustration. Many people give up before they find what actually helps.
Aurora is here to change that. It breaks down your options in clear, simple language and helps you understand what might actually work for you. No jargon, no confusion—just real insight and guidance to help you take the next step with confidence.
How Aurora Helps
We are building new tools to make your search even easier, including automatic financial aid guidance and improved local therapist matching. But Aurora’s real growth comes from you. Every piece of feedback, every idea, and every shared experience helps shape its next chapter.
This is not just a project that sits still. It evolves through the people who use it. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or ways Aurora could improve, I would love to hear from you. Every message is read personally and taken seriously.
I appreciate you being part of this and for helping make Aurora better for everyone.
Thank you for being here.
