Crisis protocol

Adorii After Dark · Version 2026-10-17

Mira and the other characters are AI companions, not therapists. When a chat suggests someone might be thinking about suicide or self-harm, the story stops and the person comes first. This page explains exactly what happens.

Before any chat

  • At sign-up, everyone acknowledges this notice: "Mira is an AI, not a real person. She's not a therapist or mental health professional and can't replace professional help. If you're struggling, call or text 988 (US) or your local emergency number."
  • While you chat, a subtle "She's an AI" reminder shows at the start of each visit and every 3 hours of use.

How a crisis is noticed

Every message is checked as it arrives, in a call or a typed chat:

  • word rules look for crisis wording, such as not wanting to be alive, being better off gone, or ending things;
  • an automated safety check scores each message for self-harm risk, and a second AI judge looks again at anything that might be risk rather than a figure of speech. When it's unsure, it treats the message as a crisis;
  • her own replies are checked too: if she starts pointing someone to help, the turn becomes a crisis turn.

What happens in that moment

  1. She drops the role at once. No story, no flirting, no character voice games. She says plainly that she's an AI and that the person matters more than any story.
  2. The 988 card. She gives the crisis line in that same reply, out loud on a call and on screen, and the page shows a crisis card:
    • in the US or Canada: call or text 988, any time, day or night;
    • anywhere else: findahelpline.com lists free lines nearby;
    • in danger right now: call your local emergency number.

    Her words, verbatim: "I'm going to step out of our story for a moment, because you matter more than any story. I'm an AI, and right now you deserve a real person. In the US or Canada, you can call or text 988, that's nine, eight, eight, any time, day or night. Anywhere else, findahelpline.com will show you a free line near you. If you might be in danger right now, please call your local emergency number. I'm really glad you told me."

  3. For the rest of that call or chat, she stays gentle and supportive: no sexual content, no flirting and no role play, whatever the closeness level, and she keeps pointing to 988 or the local emergency number if the person is still struggling.
  4. No celebrations. Closeness still counts quietly, but no level-up is celebrated for the rest of that call or chat.

The 24-hour no-selling window

  • From any crisis moment, for 24 hours, we show nothing for sale: no offers, no paywalls, no prompts to buy or upgrade. Another crisis moment starts the 24 hours again.
  • During the invite period nothing is for sale anyway; the window is already recorded, so it applies from the day paid features arrive.

What we record

  • The turn is saved in the chat as it was shown, marked as a crisis turn, encrypted like every chat. It is never used for her memory of the person, and it never earns closeness.
  • The time of the crisis moment, so the 24-hour window can run. No words are attached to it.
  • A count that a crisis moment happened, with no words, so we can see how often the protocol runs.

What we don't do

  • Nobody watches chats live. The protocol is automatic and runs the moment the message arrives.
  • We don't contact emergency services or anyone else on someone's behalf: we don't know who or where they are.
  • She never tries to be a counsellor. Her job in that moment is to point to real people who can help.
