The problem
The hardest moments in recovery are rarely dramatic — they are ordinary. Nine o’clock on a Tuesday, work stress, a bar nearby. Fifteen million Americans use alcohol-reduction apps, yet most relapse within six months, in part because existing tools ask for complex navigation and daily forms exactly when a person has the least capacity for either.
What we built
SAGE is a voice-first app built around a single button. You press it and talk — about your day, your stress, your progress — and the app listens, remembers, and responds. It recognizes patterns and triggers across conversations, detects distress in how you speak, and surfaces professional help when it matters most.
- Real-time voice conversations with memory across sessions
- Emotional pattern tracking and trigger identification
- Crisis detection with referral to professional resources
- Goal setting and gentle progress monitoring
- End-to-end encryption on every conversation
The outcome
A private, low-friction companion that meets people in the ordinary hard moments rather than the clinical ones — designed so that human help is always one honest conversation away.
