{About the Project}
AI Tool for Structured
Self-Reflection
We created an AI product that helps people make sense of a situation when they feel emotional tension, anxiety, confusion, or the sense that their thoughts are going in circles
Clear-State guides the user through a step-by-step process: what happened, what they feel, what is a fact and what is an assumption, and what small next step may be appropriate
The project has already completed the first phase of scientific research.
The research team includes specialists with academic degrees in medicine and psychology
{Why It Matters}
In many situations, what we need is not advice, but a way to bring order to our own thoughts.
{A structured format can help you take the first step}:
In everyday life, we often face situations that are not crises, but still create strong emotional tension: disappointment, conflict, a difficult decision, anxious expectations, overload, guilt, or helplessness
In these moments, it can be difficult to separate facts from assumptions and emotions, and to move from endlessly replaying the situation in your mind to taking real action
Move from inner chaos to a clearer picture
Pause
See the situation
{Step by Step}
How It Works
01
The user describes an emotionally difficult situation, and Clear-State helps unpack it into events, emotions, thoughts, interpretations, the zone of control, and possible next steps.
02
Selected CBT-informed techniques are used in the interaction with the product: separating facts, emotions, and automatic thoughts; looking for an alternative perspective; and formulating the next small, realistic step.
03
The goal of interacting with our product is to help you better understand your own situation without judgment or unnecessary advice, and to see what you can do next.
{Our Principles}
Trust is built into the product architecture
Our approach is based on responsibly defining the boundaries of product use, with attention to the ethics and safety of use
These principles are embedded in the AI model's logic and shape how use scenarios and communication with the user are designed
Ethical approach
testing the approach through scientific research and building
an evidence base
Specialists with academic degrees in medicine
and psychology are involved in the research
Clear-State is not a substitute for psychotherapy,
medical care, or crisis support
Safety approach
use scenarios and boundaries of interaction with the product are explained to the user before they begin
Data privacy and information minimization: Clear-State does not request identifying or personal data and focuses the interaction on describing the situation
without personalization
{How to Begin}
Start the interaction
1. Follow the link
The link will take you to the Clear-State AI agent. Before you begin, make sure you have time
for the conversation
2. Share your thoughts and concerns
Describe in your own words what happened or what
is currently causing emotional tension
3. Answer clarifying questions
Clear-State will help you look at the situation from different angles and understand it better. You will be able to see more clearly what exactly is bothering you and what small next step may be appropriate

What was most helpful for me was being able to express my thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. This interaction helped me calm down, look at the situation from another angle, and find the inner strength to move forward"

An outside view of the problem, plus identifying its source, which makes it possible to work directly with it rather than only with the symptoms"
Anonym
The AI agent [Clear-State] did not solve my problem, but it helped me organize my thoughts so I could understand what I needed to deal with first. It helped me look at the problem from another angle and see that there is more than one solution, and that it is not a dead end"
Anonym
I have used LLMs for this kind of interaction many times and consider them a great tool for working with simple cases"
