Your journey on Solaria

🌅

Warm Welcome

No login wall. No lengthy forms. Just a calm, beautiful screen and a 90-second mood and interest survey. It feels like self-expression — because that's exactly what it is.

What you do

Tap 5 emojis to set your current mood and pick 3 challenge tags (exam stress, family, anxiety, identity, etc.) that feel relevant today.

Your First Match

Matched with a compatible peer in under 30 seconds. An AI-suggested opener appears for the listener to break the ice. Safety tips show once, briefly, and then step back.

The match algorithm

Scores five factors: mood delta, challenge tag overlap, prior interaction quality, session duration preference, and age alignment. Runs in <100ms.

The icebreaker

The listener receives a contextual, AI-generated opener: "I see you're dealing with exam stress — want me to ask about that first?" They can use it or ignore it.

The Conversation

Real-time empathy prompts guide the listener without interrupting the sharer. The conversation moves naturally toward mutual understanding and genuine relief.

Empathy prompts

Only visible to the listener. Context-aware suggestions like "Try asking how that situation made them feel" or "Acknowledge what they just shared before asking more." Opt-out anytime.

Safety in the background

AI moderation scans every message in 200ms before delivery. The conversation feels free and human — the safety net is invisible unless needed.

Mood Shift Visible

A post-chat check-in shows your mood before vs. after — side by side. The visual shift creates an immediate, personal emotional reward that no one else sees.

Why this matters

Seeing your mood improve — even by one step — creates a feedback loop. The brain connects "talking to a peer" with "feeling better." That connection builds the habit.

What happens to this data

Pre/post mood pairs feed your personal mood graph. Over time, you see weekly patterns. You start to understand what genuinely helps you reset.

Growth Over Time

Mood graphs take shape. Your Support Impact score climbs. You start journaling. Micro-courses become interesting. The habit loop solidifies around data that is genuinely yours.

The retention loop

Day 1 → first match. Day 3 → second visit, mood graph starts forming. Week 2 → first journal entry. Month 1 → you've helped 10+ people. Month 3 → Solaria is part of how you stay well.

What growth looks like

Not gamification. Not streaks. Just real emotional data that makes you feel invested in your own wellbeing — and a community that needs what you have to offer.

Lasting Connection

You schedule recurring chats with a trusted peer. You become someone's listener. You refer a friend. Solaria stops being an app and becomes part of how you stay well — and help others do the same.

Recurring chats

After 3+ quality sessions with the same peer match, both users can opt into weekly recurring check-ins. Full anonymity maintained. A real support relationship — without the social pressure of real-world friendship.

Peer leadership

High-engagement users are invited to become Peer Leaders — facilitating community groups, mentoring new members, and receiving mental health first aid training and free Premium access.

for different people.

😔

If you need to be heard

Come as a Sharer. Your match is specifically chosen for their calm, stability, and empathy rating. No one judges. No one advises unless you want it. You just talk, and someone actually listens.

💜

If you want to support others

Come as a Listener. Empathy prompts guide you through the conversation. You'll build real communication skills. And "You've helped 47 people feel heard" is one of the best feelings there is.
