Aletheia Lattice — Legal
Disclaimer
Being honest about what this platform is — and what it is not.
Last updated: May 2026
Not therapy or medical care
Aletheia Lattice is not any of the following:
- Therapy or psychotherapy — Our platform does not provide psychological treatment or therapeutic intervention of any kind.
- Psychiatric care — We are not a mental health clinical service. The AI Companion cannot prescribe, diagnose, or clinically assess.
- Crisis support — Aletheia is not equipped to respond to mental health emergencies. If you are in crisis, please use the resources listed below.
- Medical advice — Nothing on this platform constitutes medical advice. Do not use it to make healthcare decisions.
- A substitute for professional help — If you are struggling with a mental health condition, please seek support from a qualified professional. Aletheia does not replace therapy, medication, or clinical care.
- A diagnostic tool — We do not diagnose any mental health condition, disorder, or illness.
Aletheia Lattice is a personal reflection and self-discovery tool for people who want to explore their inner world through guided writing. That is all it is — and we believe that is valuable on its own terms.
About the AI
The Aletheia Companion is powered by generative AI (Claude by Anthropic). There are important things you should know about how it works:
- It is not a human. All Companion responses are generated by an AI model, not written by a therapist, counsellor, psychologist, or any other professional.
- It can be wrong. AI generates responses based on patterns — it does not have clinical judgment, emotional intuition, or the ability to truly understand your situation.
- It is a reflection prompt, not advice. Treat what the Companion says as an invitation to explore your own thoughts, not as guidance you should follow.
- It has no memory between sessions beyond the summaries we store. It does not continuously “know” you the way a real therapeutic relationship works.
- Its emotional responses are generated. The Companion may seem to understand and empathise — but this is a simulation of empathy, not a real emotional connection.
- This is disclosed in compliance with EU AI Act requirements (Article 50) on emotional AI transparency. Aletheia Companion is an AI system — not a human, not a professional.

What Aletheia is
Aletheia Lattice is a guided journaling platform for personal reflection and emotional self-exploration. It is designed for people who want:
- A structured, private space to process their emotions through writing
- AI-generated prompts that feel relevant to their specific emotional experience
- A conversational reflection partner (the Companion) to deepen their journaling process
- To develop greater self-awareness and emotional literacy over time
Journaling is a well-established self-care practice with a meaningful body of research on its benefits for emotional wellbeing. Aletheia provides AI-guided structure for that practice — nothing more, nothing less.
It can be used alongside therapy, but it does not replace it.
Known limitations
We want to be clear about what Aletheia cannot do:
- It cannot provide emergency support or connect you with crisis services in real time
- It cannot detect all forms of distress — if you are struggling, please reach out to a professional
- AI-generated content may occasionally be irrelevant, repetitive, or miss the mark
- The Companion may generate responses that feel unhelpful — this is a limitation of current AI, not a failure of your process
- Journaling alone cannot treat clinical depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, or other mental health conditions
If you feel that Aletheia is not serving you well, please stop using it and consider seeking professional support. Your wellbeing is more important than the product.
