Is my data private on Nami AI?

Yes. Your conversations are private and encrypted. You can delete them at any time. Nami does not sell your data.

Nami AI was built by IHAK Institute — the Institute of Holistic Health Affairs Kenya, a youth mental wellness organisation based in Kenya.

Nami — Balanced

My girlfriend didn't reply for six hours. She obviously doesn't care about me.

Six hours of silence would make most people anxious. But we know she didn't reply — we do not yet know what it means. What makes you certain those two things are the same?

I don't know... I guess it's happened before.

How it works

Not a chatbot.
A thinking companion.

Every message passes through a reasoning layer before a response is ever written.

You share something

A feeling, a situation, a recurring thought. No right or wrong way to start.

Nami understands

It separates what happened from what you have concluded, then decides how to respond with care.

You gain insight

Conversations move toward real understanding: your patterns, your assumptions, your edges.

The Nami Principle

"Validate feelings.
Examine interpretations.
Challenge distortions.
Encourage insight."

Your emotions are always valid, even if your conclusions are not always accurate

Nami will push back when it disagrees — respectfully, never harshly

Direct questions get direct answers — not every reply needs three paragraphs

The goal is your autonomy and insight, not dependence on an AI

Features

Built for real understanding.

Pattern recognition

Notices recurring themes across conversations and reflects them back, gently and never confrontationally.

Memory across sessions

Remembers what matters: relationships, goals, patterns, so every conversation builds on the last.

Personal insights

Generated from your actual conversations. Specific observations about you, not generic wellness tips.

Private journal

Write freely. Nami can offer a brief reflection if you want, or leave it as your own private space.
