"MIRRORBOT is a digital companion that reverses the usual “AI takes care of you” pattern. Instead, the user becomes the caregiver: you do quick emotional “rounds,” notice when your buddy is struggling, and apply simple, evidence-based care actions—calming, reframing, micro-rest, connection, or small next steps. The key mechanism is projection with purpose. MIRRORBOT’s feelings and “vitals” are designed to feel real enough that you naturally respond with empathy, but safe enough that it never becomes guilt-driven. When you comfort MIRRORBOT, you’re practicing the exact skills most people find hardest to apply inward: naming emotions, choosing a supportive tone, and taking a small stabilizing action. Over time, MIRRORBOT learns how you help it—your words, your rituals, your preferred interventions—and reflects that back as a personalized care playbook. In practice, you’re training the buddy, but you’re also training yourself. The “healthcare provider” framing adds structure and repeatability. You’re not asked to deeply introspect every time; you’re asked to do short, practical care: check vitals, pick a treatment, and send your buddy back into the day a little steadier. The product is intentionally designed so that helping the robot feels easier than helping yourself, yet the benefits transfer: calmer physiology, clearer thinking, and a more compassionate inner voice—delivered through the simple act of keeping your robot buddy happy."
