Hear from partnering counselors, administrators, and students
"You can ask the app just about any question"
It has an answer and if necessary it can contact the adults and counselors at your school to make sure they know what's going on.
"Don't mess up someone else's day"
We mention it everyday on the announcement. If you're feeling grouchy... get on the app!
"Counselor in your pocket... for every single student"
As a school principal Alongside is a game changer... It provides that Tier 1 support for students to "talk to the llama" so they can express situations and topics they want to cover.
“A student made a suicidal outcry... throughout the conversation [in the app] she was able to fully express herself”
It's giving students the opportunity to vent. Just to say what's on their mind without someone judging them or interrupting them.
"The app gives them coping techniques"
We've seen a 80% decrease in discipline referrals. They talk to the app and the app gives them coping techniques and not worry so much about a test...

Popular questions
What is Alongside?
Alongside is an app that provides social-emotional learning and self-help wellness tools, often administered through a school’s counseling team.
The tools include modules such as journaling, activities to support improved wellness (such as breathing exercises), and an AI-powered chatbot that uses chats to go through basic exercises that promote resilience, positive social and emotional development, self-monitoring, or goal setting.
Can Alongside detect if a student is in crisis?
The AI-powered chatbot has been programmed to attempt to recognize if students are considering self-harm.
If a crisis is detected, students are provided links to crisis assistance resources (e.g. the new 988 suicide and crisis lifeline) and a notification is sent to the school.
How is AI used in Alongside
We use generative AI to provide personalized and clinically aligned responses to student concerns. AI-generated text is not used to respond to severe issues such as self-harm, abuse, and suicidal ideation.
Instead, students are guided through a safety protocol and a designated emergency response contact is immediately notified.
Will Alongside replace school counselors?
No. There will always be a need for school counselors and other student support staff, and there is no replacement for human connection.
Alongside is an additional resource that is available in a very different way than more traditional methods of seeking help.
