Haven is an AI-powered mental wellness platform built to make emotional support accessible and stigma-free — for the majority who never reach a therapist due to cost, distance, or hesitation. At its core is an empathetic AI companion, powered by open-source LLMs (Qwen3p7-plus via Fireworks AI), holding warm conversations that remember a user's mood, goals, and journal entries across sessions — a companion that grows familiar over time, not a generic chatbot. Haven layers real-time emotion detection(Llama-v3p2-11b-vision-instruct via Fireworks AI) into every interaction, understanding how a user feels and letting the AI adapt its tone — more grounding during distress, more encouraging during progress. Journaling is a first-class feature: users write freely, and the AI offers gentle reflective insights and mood trend summaries, helping users notice their own patterns without judgment. Voice therapy sessions add a human, embodied feel — users speak naturally and hear warm, multilingual spoken responses, powered by self-hosted, open-source speech models (Whisper for STT, XTTS-v2 for TTS) on AMD GPU infrastructure, keeping conversations off third-party APIs. Guided breathing exercises and a calming soundscape corner give an immediate tool for regulating anxiety, independent of the AI chat. Clinically grounded assessments — including PHQ-9 and GAD-7 — give users an objective baseline to track change over time, bridging casual self-care and clinical insight, while directing users toward licensed professionals, not replacing them. A crisis detection layer (sentinet/suicidality Hugging Face Classifier) runs continuously in the background, so even indirect expressions of distress are caught, not just explicit crisis language — routing users to verified, government-approved helpline numbers. Multiple visual themes and multilingual support built to feel less like software, more like a companion that's actually paying attention.
