A comprehensive platform showcasing Think Round's AI integration across healing rooms, exterior spaces and related projects.
ThinkxLife serves as a transparent demonstration of how Think Round integrates artificial intelligence to enhance our mission of healing and transformation. The platform consists of three main experience areas:
Explore how we thoughtfully integrate AI technology across our programs, featuring trauma-informed design principles, ethical AI implementation, and transparent technology practices.
Experience trauma-informed AI support through our empathetic companion Zoe, designed with ACE assessment integration, crisis detection, and personalized healing journeys.
Discover space that preserve human creativity while leveraging technology for accessibility and connection.
We believe in AI transparency — showing, not just telling, how technology can serve humanity with purpose and heart.
Zoe is Think Round's trauma-informed AI companion, designed to provide empathetic support while demonstrating responsible AI integration in healing contexts. Named to represent life and growth, Zoe serves as both a supportive companion and a transparent example of how AI can be thoughtfully designed to serve human wellbeing.
Zoe's responses are generated through a sophisticated multi-layered system:
- ACE Assessment Integration: Responses are personalized based on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questionnaire results
- Trauma Category Recognition: System identifies specific trauma areas (emotional abuse, physical neglect, family dysfunction, etc.) for sensitive contextualization
- Safety-First Language: All responses are filtered through trauma-safe language patterns to avoid triggering content
- Primary Provider: OpenAI GPT-4o-mini for natural language processing
- Fallback Systems: Redundant providers ensure consistent availability
- Context Management: Conversation history and user context are maintained across sessions
- Real-time Processing: FastAPI backend ensures low-latency response generation
- Empathetic Tone: Responses emphasize validation, hope, and strength-based messaging
- Off-Topic Detection: Advanced pattern matching redirects harmful or inappropriate requests
- Crisis Recognition: Built-in detection for self-harm, violence, or substance abuse requests with immediate safety responses
- Minor Protection: Special safeguards prevent harmful advice to underage users
- ACE Score-Based Routing: Users with scores ≥4 are directed to professional support, scores <4 can choose chat or training
- Personalized Empathy: Responses tailored to specific trauma experiences without re-traumatization
- Professional Boundaries: Clear guidance about limitations and when to seek professional help
- Avatar Mode: Dynamic facial expressions and mouth movements with professional voice synthesis
- Context Memory: Maintains conversation history and user preferences across sessions
- Real-Time Processing: Instant response generation with smooth conversation flow
- Multi-Modal Communication: Text and voice interaction options
- Harmful Content Prevention: Comprehensive filtering for suicide, violence, substance abuse, and illegal activity requests
- Minor Protection: Special detection patterns for underage users with appropriate safeguards
- Privacy Protection: Secure handling of sensitive personal information
- Transparent Operations: Open demonstration of AI decision-making processes
- Scalable Backend: FastAPI with Python for high-performance processing
- Modern Frontend: Next.js 15 with TypeScript and Framer Motion animations
- Database Integration: PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM for user management
- Authentication: Supabase integration with NextAuth for secure access
