What you can do in Beacon
Small, steady tools you can use on a good day and lean on during a hard one.
Talk it through
Chat with a supportive AI companion any time. It’s an AI, not a person — it listens, reflects, and helps you think things through.
Journal
Write freely or follow a guided prompt. Beacon can give you a short summary and any patterns it notices in what you’ve written.
Guided programs
Short, structured flows for specific moments — calming down, sleeping better, rebuilding confidence, or getting ready for a hard meeting.
Voice conversations
Prefer to talk? Have a spoken conversation with your companion, in a voice you choose.
Real help when it matters
If a conversation sounds like you might be in crisis, Beacon shows New Zealand crisis lines straight away and can connect you with a real person. It can also point you to services like your GP, counselling, and family or financial support.
Built with safety first
Beacon is a wellbeing and reflection tool. It isn’t therapy, it isn’t a medical service, and it can’t respond in an emergency. If you or someone else is in danger, call 111.
- Crisis language is picked up in the chat and answered with New Zealand crisis lines straight away.
- You can ask to talk to someone real, and our team can join a conversation.
- Beacon is for adults aged 18 and over.
- You can export or delete your data from Settings at any time.
