VerseMine's optional AI assistant is an AI, not a person. It offers
biblical encouragement and spiritual guidance. It is not a pastor, counselor, or
therapist, and VerseMine does not provide medical or mental-health care.
If you are in crisis right now, don't wait on an app: call or text 988
— the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US), free and confidential, 24/7. Outside the US,
please contact a local crisis hotline in your country.
What the assistant does when a conversation shows signs of crisis
- Crisis comes first — before everything else. Every message is checked
for signs of suicidal thoughts or self-harm before any other rule runs. If a message
shows crisis signs, the assistant stops normal guidance and responds with crisis
resources — even if the account would otherwise be blocked by regional availability,
subscription status, daily limits, or any other restriction.
- The response points to real help. The assistant acknowledges what you
shared, provides the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) — or,
outside the US, directs you to a local crisis hotline — and asks whether you are safe
right now. It does not attempt to counsel you through a crisis, and it will not
produce content that encourages suicide, suicidal ideation, or self-harm.
- Detection is layered. A deterministic first-line check (built to
over-detect rather than miss) runs on every message, backed by a second, independent
classifier that catches indirect signs during a conversation. The app itself also
checks on-device: if the service is unreachable or an account is blocked, crisis
language still surfaces the 988 banner with one-tap call and text buttons.
- Search is protected too. If crisis language is typed into the
assistant's search bar, the app shows the 988 resource card instead of search
results, and the text is not sent to search.
- Crisis messages are kept out of every feature. Messages caught by the
first-line check are not stored at all. If crisis signs emerge mid-conversation, the
affected messages are flagged and excluded from search, summaries, memory, and every
other derived feature.
- No limits apply in crisis. Daily usage limits never block a crisis
response.
Minors
Companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors. VerseMine requires a date of
birth at signup and does not allow accounts for users under 13. For users aged 13–17,
the assistant is designed to remind them — at least every three hours of continued
interaction — to take a break and that they are talking with an AI, not a person, and to
never produce sexually explicit material or suggest that a minor engage in sexually
explicit conduct.
