AI-4U: an AI tool to help you find support

A navigational tool that guides you to NZ helplines and professional support, through online chat you can type in or listen to. Confidential, except where someone’s safety is at risk.

Before you start

AI-4U is an AI navigational tool. It guides people to support. It is not a psychologist, counsellor, doctor or crisis service. It can't diagnose anything or give medical advice, and it can get things wrong. For decisions about your health, please talk to a qualified professional.

AI-4U does not diagnose or treat, and it is not an emergency service. If you are in danger, New Zealand: call 111. Australia: call 000.

AI-4U can guide people to their organisation’s own support, or 1737 after hours.

What happens to your conversation

• Your chat is processed by ElevenLabs, our US-based technology provider, and handled under our Privacy Policy (PDF).
• Your safety comes first. If you tell AI-4U you may harm yourself or someone else, it will encourage you to contact 111 or 1737 in New Zealand straight away, and it may ask for your contact details so a support service can be in touch. This is not an emergency response. If you are in danger now, call 111 in New Zealand.
• Please avoid sharing details about other people.

Who can use AI-4U

AI-4U is free online web chat for people in New Zealand, with no app or login.

Getting the most from AI-4U

Not sure where to start? You could ask AI-4U to:

1. Talk through a stressful day: "I've had a rough day at work. Can you help me unpack it?"
2. Help with sleep and energy: "I'm not sleeping well. What simple things could I try?"
3. Prepare for a hard conversation: "Help me plan what to say to my manager about my workload."
4. Find local support: "What support services are near me in [your town]?"
5. Point you to a professional: "How do I reach my EAP or a registered psychologist?"
6. Make a simple plan: "Help me make a plan for the week that looks after my wellbeing."
