Safety, supervision and limits

An AI service that touches mental health lives or dies by its safety design. This page states ours plainly — including what Teman will never do.

Scope — what Teman is for

Support for everyday struggles. Nothing more — and we say so at every step.

The escalation protocol

Four steps, running on every conversation.

Quality, measured by humans

Supervision isn’t a policy page — it’s a weekly operation with numbers attached.

Your data, your call

What we will never do

  • Never pretend the AI is human — every screen says what it is
  • Never diagnose, prescribe or claim to treat
  • Never let the AI carry active risk alone — humans take over
  • Never sell data, and never use conversations for advertising
  • Never serve under-18s at launch — the safe design for young people is still being built

How each of these promises is grounded in law — licensing, titles, referral independence and data — is set out in Legal & compliance.

Teman is support, not emergency care, and not a substitute for professional medical advice. In an emergency, call 995.
