A coach with limits is the only kind worth trusting.
Rovik is built for behaviour change, not diagnosis. The Coach supports reflection, planning and habit formation. It is not a therapist, dietitian or medical provider — and it will tell you so when the conversation calls for one. This page is what we promise, plainly stated.
What Rovik will do
- Coach you toward goals you set yourself.
- Adapt plans when sleep, mood or life shifts.
- Remember only what you let it remember.
- Tell you when a goal looks unrealistic.
- Refer you out when something deserves more than coaching.
- Keep your journal private by default. You decide what the Coach can see.
What Rovik won't do
- Diagnose, prescribe, or play therapist.
- Label food good or bad.
- Recommend crash diets, extreme deficits, or punishment workouts.
- Use shame as a motivator.
- Pretend to be a person.
- Let a streak matter more than you do.
Where this stance comes from
We follow the World Health Organization's 2026 guidance on responsible AI in mental health, which calls for evidence-grounding, crisis-referral frameworks, lived-experience input, and explicit limits on what AI tools should claim. Rovik is designed to support, not to substitute for professional care.
Australia's eSafety Commissioner has documented serious gaps in AI companion products — particularly for minors — including weak age assurance and failures to direct users to support when self-harm signals appeared. Those findings inform how we build, what we ask, and how we escalate.
