Question 1

Is SAM a substitute for therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. SAM is a companion, not a clinician. For diagnosable anxiety disorders, please see a licensed therapist. SAM works well alongside therapy as something to talk to between sessions.

Question 2

Will SAM remember what I told it last week?

Accepted Answer

Yes — SAM has memory that carries forward across conversations. Soul tier has the deepest long-term recall.

Question 3

What if I'm in crisis?

SAM will surface real crisis-line numbers and human services. It is built to escalate, not to replace, professional help.
