An AI companion for adult mentors · In development

Better guidance for the moments that matter.

When someone goes quiet

What may be happening

They may be tired, unsure what to say, or dealing with something outside your sessions. Silence alone doesn't tell you why.

Try this next

Start with a gentle, open question. Allow time for an answer without pressing for details.

Words that can help

“We don't have to talk about anything big today. What would feel useful for you?”

If you notice a safety concern, follow your organisation's safeguarding process rather than relying on an AI suggestion.

Built for real-world mentors

Different settings. Shared challenges.

Whether you're mentoring a young person or supporting a colleague, good mentoring starts with listening, judgement and care.

Responsible by design

Useful guidance should come with clear boundaries.

Mentor Support is being designed as a decision-support companion, not a replacement for your judgement, training or organisational policies.

  • Guidance should be practical, non-diagnostic and transparent about limitations.
  • Situations involving safety concerns should direct mentors to appropriate human support.
  • Privacy and safeguarding requirements are part of development and testing.
Questions

Good to know.

Is Mentor Support available now?

Not yet. Mentor Support is in development. This page introduces the product concept and includes illustrative examples, not a functioning AI service.

Who is Mentor Support for?

Adults who mentor others, including volunteers, youth mentors, workplace mentors, career mentors and community mentors. The app is not designed for children to use directly.

Will Mentor Support replace a mentor's training or supervisor?

No. It is intended to help mentors think through situations and prepare conversations. It cannot replace professional judgement, supervision, safeguarding policies or emergency services.

Can I use it to manage confidential mentee records?

The first release is not intended to be a formal case-management system. Avoid entering identifying or sensitive information until the published product's privacy information explains exactly how data is handled.

Will it be available on iPhone?

An iPhone-first experience is planned. Timing and App Store availability will be confirmed after development, testing and release review.
