4) AI Disclaimers and Limits
AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. The App makes no guarantee of accuracy of summaries, mood labels, insights, or chat responses.
AI outputs are not clinically validated and the App makes no claims of therapeutic benefit.
“Talk to Me” Chat Rules
The AI chat is designed to be reflective and non-directive and is constrained by system instructions (e.g., not providing advice or diagnoses and not acting as therapy).
