ARI Tool Builder

Assistive Relational Intelligence for Mental Health Clinicians

A vibe-coding platform that enables mental health clinicians to build AI tools grounded in relational ethics, trauma-informed design, and clinical wisdom.

The ARI Manifesto

Assistive Relational Intelligence (ARI) tools are designed to:

1. Scaffold human connection, not simulate it — AI serves as relational infrastructure
2. Bridge toward human care, not away from it — Every tool includes pathways back to the clinician
3. Build distress tolerance and relational capacity — So users are more resourced when they turn to humans
4. Honor the clinician's expertise — AI augments clinical wisdom; it never overrides it
5. Refuse engagement-optimization — Success is measured by human reconnection, not session length

"Let's build AI that sparks users feeling held for the purpose of entering into holding... Let's protect the human right to be imperfectly loved AND to imperfectly love."
