## What is iRel8 (iRelate)?

iRel8 is an anonymous peer empowerment platform focused on mental wellness that gives users an open and anonymous way to receive mental health help from peers, provide relevant advice to others, and relate to a larger community – all in a safe and anonymous way so a user’s reputation is not compromised in any way with friends, family members, or work colleagues.

This app is a paid app and requires an in-app subscription to access content. Additional information about the subscription is detailed below.

Features include:

Confidentially chat with peers to get or give help.

Secure Profile - Choose to add a profile picture or or not - user names can be completely anonymous. 

Shatter the Stigma - Members can chat and help others with no fear of their reputation being damaged.

Tiered Chat Structure:
1.  Global Chat - A room for everyone using iRel8 to talk or listen to advice.
2.  Rooms - Rooms are based on categories of various mental health categories.
3.  Groups - A confidential area with members forming a peer group - think of Alcoholics Anonymous but in a safe chat room.
4.  Friends - The most intimate place where you can "friend" another peer.  You can have one-on-one conversations here.

Zero Tolerance - Abusive, pornographic, bullying and other offensive posts will not be tolerated and members will be immediately removed.

Status Selection - Tell others you need help or are ready to help.

Share Your Story - Describe your experiences and how you overcame challenges.

Thank you for being part of the iRel8 community.  We’ve listened to your ongoing feedback and this release includes several enhancements, performance upgrades, and bug fixes.  A lot of the enhancements are “behind the scenes” but many are front and center (see below).  Rest assured we still do not sell or share your data
 
Welcome Bots – Users will receive a welcome message upon first login and when joining a new room with suggestions to interact and get started.
Conversation Threading – Now, when users reply to each other, they can have an ongoing chat with all related messages threaded under the first message.  This eliminates scrolling and enables micro-conversations.  Additionally, push notifications shown in Stream will deep-link to the specific chat.
Enhanced Push Notifications – All push notifications now deep-link to originating message in groups and friend conversations. 
Image Optimization & Bug Fix – Improved image loading status and bug fix eliminating image from displaying incorrectly.

Faster Performance – Conversations, rooms loading, images showing… everything is wicked quick!
Stream – Stream is your new home to see relevant notifications about friend requests, replies, mentions, new group invitations, etc.
Bots with Artificial Intelligence – New bot framework with a Moderation Bot, Recommendation Bot, and Crisis/Intervention Bot.
