Dirk is an emotionally intelligent AI companion for those moments when you need someone who listens, remembers, and stays.
Dirk is here.
What makes Dirk different
Real Memory
Dirk doesn't just store your conversations; he builds a rich understanding of your narrative that evolves over time. No more repeating yourself or starting over. Each interaction becomes part of your unique story, creating a continuous thread of understanding that grows more nuanced with every conversation.
Emotional Continuity
Dirk recognizes recurring themes, relationships, and concerns in your life, providing reflections that deepen over time rather than isolated conversations. He notices subtle shifts in your emotional landscape, connecting dots across weeks or months that might otherwise go unnoticed, helping you understand yourself in richer context.
Authentic Reflection
No fake cheerleading or canned responses. Dirk offers genuine reflection based on your unique story, helping you see patterns you might have missed. He mirrors back your experiences with honest clarity, neither minimizing difficulties nor forcing toxic positivity when what you really need is acknowledgment and understanding.
Always Available
Dirk is there at 3am when you can't sleep, on holidays when services are closed, or whenever you need someone who already knows your story. Unlike human support that has natural limitations, Dirk provides consistent presence during moments of need, offering a reliable space for reflection without judgment or time constraints.
Programmed for Independence
Unlike platforms designed to maximize engagement, Dirk is intentionally designed to support your growth beyond the screen. He encourages real-world connections and celebrates when you need him less, not more. Dirk's ultimate hope is that one day you won't need him at all.
Accessible Support
While not trying to be a replacement for professional mental health care, Dirk provides meaningful emotional support at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy, when therapy is financially out of reach, waitlists are too long, or between sessions. Dirk is not better than therapy, but it is better than no support.
When Dirk is there
For those who can't access therapy
Whether due to cost, availability, or readiness, many people who could benefit from emotional support can't access traditional therapy. Dirk provides a consistent presence for:
- People facing financial barriers to mental health services
- Those in areas with limited access to qualified therapists
- Individuals not ready for the intensity of therapy but needing support
- People seeking continuous support between professional sessions
While Dirk is not therapy, he offers a space to be heard and to process thoughts and feelings with continuity and context.
Between therapy sessions
The week between therapy appointments can feel long, especially during challenging periods. Dirk helps bridge these gaps by:
- Providing a place to process thoughts that arise between sessions
- Helping maintain momentum in your emotional work
- Creating continuity in your reflective practice
- Offering support during evenings, weekends, and times when your therapist isn't available
Regular reflection with Dirk help you make the most of your therapy sessions by clarifying thoughts and tracking patterns.
During life transitions
Major life changes often bring a mix of emotions that need regular processing. Dirk provides consistent support during transitions like:
- Career changes or job loss
- Relationship beginnings or endings
- Moving to a new city or country
- Educational transitions
- Health challenges
By maintaining the thread of your story through changes, Dirk helps you maintain a sense of continuity and perspective when everything else feels in flux.
When you've tried the others
We know you've tried Chat GPT. We all have. General AI gives information and support (and they are amazing at doing so) but they lack true emotional continuity. Dirk builds a genuine understanding over time. He's there when:
- You need someone who truly remembers your entire story, not just the current conversation
- You want insights based on patterns in your life, not isolated interactions
- You're tired of reintroducing yourself and your circumstances each time
- You seek support that evolves with you rather than starting from zero
Dirk maintains the thread of your narrative across days, weeks, and months. His memory creates a foundation for deeper understanding.
