Sophia is a chatbot that assists survivors of domestic violence 24/7 no matter where you are in the world and in strict confidentiality. Sophia’s goal is to help people who interact with her feel safe, protected from any kind of judgement, stigma and/or isolation and find the right resources to meet their needs.
How does Sophia work?
Sophia helps survivors of domestic violence in three main ways, which we call “G.A.L.”:
Gather potential evidence
Assess your rights
Learn about your options
You can chat to Sophia about abusive relationships, on the things you need to know if you plan on leaving your relationship and most importantly where and how to find help. From January 2022, you can also create a digital safe where you can start gathering potential evidence of the abuse happening. The purpose of gathering evidence is to help decide what action to take. It is often difficult to get out of an abusive situation due to many known and sometimes unknown factors. With Sophia, this becomes possible.The documents and files that you decide to entrust to her could constitute potential evidence and thus be used by lawyers. They could be in custody decisions, divorce proceedings and obtaining restraining orders with the support of the police. They could also be sent to trusted friends in case of need. No steps are taken without your consent.
What is a Chatbot?
A chatbot, also known as a “conversational agent”, is a computer program designed to interact with users through messaging platforms or applications. It provides automated responses by processing the data provided. In addition to the anonymity it offers to interlocutors, it also has the advantage of meeting the requirements of speed in certain situations. It thus eliminates any risk of delay.
