About
Why NOPE exists
People talk to AI about wanting to die. What happens next—whether the system panics, abandons them, or actually helps—is often left to chance. Most platforms rely on keyword filters that flood moderators with false positives while missing the conversations that matter.
We're building infrastructure so that doesn't have to be the case. Detection informed by clinical literature. Resources matched to context—not a generic hotline. Signals platforms can actually act on.
