Under the Light

This is a private AI-assisted reflection room for real problems, small or huge. Testers are asked to complete at least 2 free problems, one at a time, then choose one problem to work with over the next several weeks.

This is treated like a tester role. The goal is not praise. The goal is honest feedback, completed surveys, and two-week check-ins that show whether the room helped in real life.

Before you enter

Under the Light is an AI-assisted reflection tool. It is not therapy, medical care, legal advice, financial advice, or crisis support.

The room uses artificial intelligence to help you sort a problem, notice patterns in your own words, and create a grounded action plan. AI can make mistakes. It may misunderstand you, miss important context, or give an answer that does not fit your situation.

You are responsible for your own choices. Use the room as a mirror, not an authority.

What you share is not public. Greygray may review conversations, survey responses, and anonymous usage patterns to improve future versions of the room.

If you are in immediate danger or feel like you may hurt yourself or someone else, do not use this room as your first stop. Call 988 in the United States, contact local emergency services, or reach out to someone who can stay with you.

What this is

A guided mirror for one real problem at a time. It can handle small choices, heavy knots, fear, work pressure, creative blocks, relationship tension, and decision fog.

Your role

Bring the problem plainly. Give enough context for the room to see the shape of it. Answer the follow-up questions without trying to sound polished.

The computer's role

It listens for patterns in your words, separates fear from fact when it can, asks sharper questions, and builds a tailored action plan. It does not live your life or decide for you.

For the best answer

Include what happened, what you want, what you fear, what you have already tried, and what would change if you acted. One sentence is enough to begin, but honest detail gives better results.

Tester work

Complete at least 2 free problems for the test. Do not stack them in one message. Bring one. Finish it. Survey it. Then bring the next.

Two-week updates

After at least 2 problems, choose one to actively work with. Every two weeks, come back and say what changed, what helped, what did not, and what got clearer.

Access

Invited users enter with a confirmed email and password. Each invited user gets 5 free problems. After that, paid access begins through Ko-fi.

Paid options

3 more problems: $5. Year Pass: 15 problems per month. The Soup subscribers get 20 percent off. App access is still available for people who do not want the newsletter.

Privacy

What you share is private and not public. Greygray may review conversations and anonymous stats to make future versions sharper.

Safety

Under the Light is not therapy, medical care, legal advice, financial advice, or crisis support. AI can make mistakes. You are responsible for your own choices.
