Therapy is one hour a week. Your nervous system is with you all week. VERA is a 24/7 AI nervous system companion for the other 167 hours, when you are spiraling at 2am, freezing mid-conversation, or going numb and cannot explain why. VERA does not give generic AI advice. VERA listens, tracks patterns over time and responds based on how your nervous system is actually behaving. What you can do with VERA: ● Chat or talk by voice for real time co-regulation when you feel activated, overwhelmed, or dissociating ● Decode nervous system patterns and recurring states so your triggers finally make sense ● Journal with guided prompts that connect sensations, emotions and patterns (not just thoughts) ● Track progress over time: regulation trends, mood patterns and what is stabilizing ● Get personalized reflections that adapt to what helps your system (without judgment or pressure) ● Your therapist can have access to some of your data, so they know how was your week before you come to the session Built for the space between sessions Created by combat veterans, neuroscientists, and somatic experts with lived trauma experience. VERA was built because the moments that matter most do not wait for appointments. Privacy first by design • We do not sell your data • Conversations are encrypted • Your story is not training data Important note VERA is not a replacement for therapy, medical care, or emergency services.
