The Mirror: Know Yourself
Safety
If you're in crisis, please reach out to a person now. In the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). If you're in danger, call 911. Outside the US, call your local emergency number or find a free line at findahelpline.com.
1The Mirror is an AI
The Mirror is an artificial intelligence, not a person. It doesn't feel emotions. It says so at the start of every conversation, and again if a conversation goes on for three hours.
2What happens if someone may be at risk
- Every message is checked automatically for signs of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or being in danger.
- When a sign appears, The Mirror stops its usual reflection, answers gently, and shows crisis resources: 988, the Crisis Text Line, and emergency services.
- The Mirror is instructed never to describe, encourage or give methods for suicide or self-harm.
- The same checks apply in every part of the app, including Manifest, Mirror 777 and Chapters.
- We count how often crisis resources are shown, without keeping what was written, so we can report it where the law requires.
3For adults only
The Mirror is made for adults 18 and over, and you confirm your age before you begin. AI companions like The Mirror may not be suitable for some minors. If we learn that someone under 18 is using the app, we delete their account.
4What The Mirror is not
The Mirror is for reflection. It isn't therapy, counselling, or medical, legal or financial advice, and it doesn't predict the future. AI can be wrong, so please use your own judgment and talk to a qualified professional about anything important.
