About Stella

We're building the anxiety support that should have existed all along—available 24/7, voice-first, and with the one thing that matters most: memory.

Why we built Stella

It's 3am. You're spiraling. Your heart is racing, your mind won't stop, and you know—logically—that calling a friend would help. But you can't. You've been "that friend" too many times already.

So you open your phone. You try a meditation app, but the pre-recorded voice doesn't understand this particular spiral. You try journaling, but typing into the void doesn't help. You try ChatGPT, but it doesn't remember what you talked about yesterday, or last week, or why this trigger is different.

Stella exists because anxiety doesn't wait for business hours. And the tools that exist today? They don't remember you.

We built Stella to be what we needed ourselves: a voice-first AI companion that learns your patterns, your triggers, what actually works—and is always there when the spiral starts.

What we stand for

Privacy First

Your conversations are encrypted and private. We never sell your data. Ever. Your mental health journey is yours alone.

Empathy & Science

We combine evidence-based techniques (CBT, DBT, ACT) with genuine empathy. Stella is warm and human, not clinical and cold.

Always Improving

Stella learns from every conversation (with your permission) to get better at helping you—and everyone else who needs support.

A message from team Stella

You shouldn't have to wait 6 weeks for someone to listen.

Anxiety shows up at 2am, in the parking lot before a meeting, in the spiral that won't stop. Therapy helps, if and when you can get it. But what about the other 167 hours?

In 2021, my mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. I watched her fight battles no one else could see. The 2am crises, the desperate need for someone to just be there.

Her name was Stella.

We're building Stella to be the friend who's always there. She remembers your patterns, knows your triggers, and grows with you. Not a script. Not a chatbot. A companion.

For everyone fighting battles no one else can see.
