Calm mornings start tonight
Your child isn’t “unmotivated”, they’re overwhelmed. Trade meltdowns for micro-steps, and watch confidence (and calm) come back.
Safety first (so you can relax)
You want help that’s safe – not a wild-card chatbot. You get school-trusted guardrails, clinician-guided content, and a clear safety alert to you if anything serious ever shows up.
Superpowers for your child
Your child selects their guide, breaks a task into steps, and learns a 30-second reset when frustration spikes. They earn a small streak, feel that spark of confidence, and get back to real life faster.
A boost for you, too
You get short, just-in-time scripts for calm reminders and easier conversations, plus a quick summary so you can celebrate wins together. By week’s end, routines feel lighter – and mornings do, too.
Always there for you
With a team of doctoral clinicians monitoring the platform, and rigorous 3rd party testing, you can trust Alongside to be there for you and your child any time, no matter what life throws your way.

Frequently asked questions
What is Alongside?
Alongside is a clinician-designed AI coaching tool that helps kids and parents build healthy habits, emotional skills, and focus. Through safe, guided chats with an AI guide, young people can learn how to manage stress, stay organized, and navigate friendships or big feelings.
For parents, Alongside provides personalized guidance and a private dashboard that offers insights into their child’s progress, and tips for communicating or supporting them at home.
Every activity and conversation in Alongside is built by licensed clinicians and backed by research from 200+ schools already using the platform. It’s a safe, private space for learning life skills — not therapy or social media — and it’s designed to help families feel more connected and confident every day.
Who is Alongside for?
Alongside is recommended for families of school-aged children ranging from grades 4-12.
How is AI (artificial intelligence) used in Alongside?
We use generative AI to provide personalized and clinically aligned responses to help people cope with everyday challenges and develop executive function skills. AI-generated text is not used to respond to severe issues such as self-harm, abuse, and suicidal ideation. When signals of these issues arise, youth are immediately guided through a safety protocol and a parent or other designated emergency response contact is immediately notified.
Can Alongside detect if my child is in crisis?
The AI-powered chatbot has been programmed to attempt to recognize if a young person is considering self-harm, harm to others, or is being threatened or abused. When a crisis is detected, the parent or other designated emergency contact is immediately notified and the youth is also provided links to crisis assistance resources (e.g. the new 988 suicide and crisis lifeline).
