Human Development Intelligence
The AI Relational Buddy is the first working application of the Human Layer: an ongoing developmental dialogue, alongside and not instead of the professional.
The AI Relational Buddy
The AI Relational Buddy translates Human Development Intelligence into an ongoing developmental dialogue.
The AI Relational Buddy does not replace a therapist, teacher, coach, manager or other professional. The Buddy supports the person and, where needed, strengthens the collaboration with a professional.
The technology is already in paid use in Europe and Africa, including Kenya, in mental health care, education and sustainable employability.
Human agency by design
The Human Layer was developed from a clear principle: AI must not take over the meaning of a human being.
The user keeps control over their own story, meaning and direction of development.
Three fields of application
Support with self-insight, meaning-making, emotion regulation, restoring coherence, and preparation for or guidance alongside professional care.
The Human Layer can help recognise earlier what someone needs, without locking the person into a diagnosis or classification.
