Youper is an artificial intelligence application that uses conversational techniques to help you track your mood, reflect on your emotional wellbeing, and organize your thoughts in a beautiful journal.
Youper is designed with safety as a core principle, with safeguards implemented to help prevent harmful interactions.
Youper is not an emergency service and cannot provide crisis intervention. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, suicidal thoughts, or thoughts of self-harm, please contact one of the following resources immediately:
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — Call or text 988 (available 24/7)
Crisis Text Line — Text HOME to 741741
Emergency Services — Call 911
Youper maintains the following protocol for preventing the production of suicidal ideation, suicide, or self-harm content:
Detection. Youper’s AI system is designed to identify expressions of suicidal ideation, suicide, or self-harm in user conversations. When such expressions are detected, the system is configured to avoid generating content that could encourage, validate, or reinforce suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviors.
Crisis Referral. When a user expresses suicidal ideation, suicide, or self-harm, Youper provides a notification referring the user to crisis service providers, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) and the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741).
Content Safeguards. Youper’s system includes safeguards designed to prevent the AI from producing responses that contain instructions, encouragement, or detailed content related to methods of self-harm or suicide.
Limitations. Youper is an AI application and has inherent limitations. Its detection systems are not infallible and may not identify all expressions of distress. Youper is not a substitute for professional mental health care, crisis intervention, or emergency services. Users experiencing a mental health crisis should contact the resources listed above.
