Built by alumni and researchers from:
Our Illuminations
Multiple therapeutic modalities, one shared memory, so you can choose the care that works for you
Ember
Trained on psychodynamic theory, Ember helps you understand how past experiences and deep patterns shape your emotions and relationships today.
Lumi
Trained on CBT theory, Lumi supports you in recognising unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and building practical strategies to shift them.
Ayla
Trained on psychosexual theory, Ayla provides a safe space to explore intimacy, identity, and desire to build healthier, more fulfilling connections.
How Illuminary makes connections
- When you share something meaningful, it becomes a memory node
- Over time, our memory model links together emotions, life themes, and past moments
- This lets us reveal connected behaviours, just like a real therapist would
Meet Ember

Safe & Secure
Safety checks
We automatically flag messages that may suggest risk of self‑harm, harm to others, or abuse. When that happens, Illuminary pauses, shares crisis resources, and escalates conversations to human support. It is not emergency care, or a replacement for therapy.
No training on your data
We do not use your conversations to train AI models. Ever. We don't sell personal data.
Privacy by design
Conversations are private and encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is limited, logged, and reviewed. You can view, export, or delete your data - and reset shared memory - any time.
