Purpose-Built AI

Built for Lebanon,
With Love.

My Hayat is the first AI mental health companion built specifically for the Lebanese community — trained on real anonymized clinical therapy data, not internet conversations.

Different By Design

Most AI chatbots are built on generic internet data. We took a fundamentally different approach.

Trained on Real Clinical Data

Our model is trained on a large-scale dataset of anonymized therapy sessions from Lebanese clinics — not internet-scraped conversational data. This means the AI understands clinical dynamics and therapeutic techniques.

Minimized Exposure Model

Unlike chatbots that optimize for engagement, My Hayat uses an information-gathering approach. It asks questions rather than giving advice, and redirects to professionals when appropriate.

Purpose-Built Safety

General-purpose AI produces harmful responses at significantly higher rates than purpose-built models. Our clinical training data creates a safer baseline that guardrails then improve further.

Lebanese Cultural Intelligence

Trained to understand Lebanese Arabic dialect, cultural taboos around mental health, family dynamics, the economic crisis context, and diaspora guilt patterns.

Access professional services

Lebanon faces a perfect storm: economic collapse, persistent stigma, healthcare brain drain, and unaddressed trauma from decades of conflict. Professional therapy costs $100/session — 200+ hours of minimum wage work.
