Quick Summary

- If you are in crisis or need clinical support, please seek professional help
1. AI-Generated Content
Automated Responses
Solara is powered by artificial intelligence technology. All responses, advice, suggestions, and guidance provided through the Service are generated by an AI system, not by human coaches, therapists, or experts. No human reviews or modifies the AI's responses before they are delivered to you.
Training and Knowledge Base
Solara's AI has been trained on principles from communication and relationship-building resources, including works by authors such as Dale Carnegie, Chris Voss, Jason Harris, and Leil Lowndes. However, the AI does not replicate these authors' exact advice and may synthesize, interpret, or apply these principles in ways the original authors did not intend.
Generative AI Limitations
- Does not possess consciousness, emotions, or personal experiences
- Cannot observe your non-verbal cues or tone of voice
- Has a knowledge cutoff date and may not reflect the most current research or social norms
- May occasionally produce responses that contain inaccuracies or inconsistencies
- Can provide advice that works in some contexts but not others
Data Processing Transparency
Your inputs to Solara are processed via OpenAI's API for the purpose of generating responses. OpenAI may temporarily retain this data (up to 30 days) for abuse monitoring. Solara does not use your conversations to train the AI model and anonymizes stored data wherever possible. For more information, please review our Privacy Policy.
2. Limitations of AI Coaching
Not Personalized to Your Specific Circumstances
While Solara attempts to provide relevant guidance based on the information you share, it cannot fully understand your unique personal context, background, cultural circumstances, or specific needs. The Service provides general advice that may not apply to your particular situation.
Potential for Misinterpretation
- May misinterpret your questions or statements
- May fail to recognize nuance or subtlety in complex situations
- May provide inappropriately confident responses about topics it doesn't fully understand
- May generate responses that seem plausible but are misleading or incorrect
Pattern Recognition vs. Understanding
Solara operates by recognizing patterns in text rather than truly understanding human emotions, relationships, or social dynamics. Its advice is based on statistical correlations in its training data, not genuine comprehension of human experience.
Subjective Nature of Social Advice
The guidance provided by Solara represents one perspective among many possible approaches. What works in one social or cultural context may not be appropriate or effective in another. The effectiveness of any advice depends on numerous factors outside Solara's control.
3. Non-Professional Nature of Service
