Your situation

That's a lot of requests from one place. Try again in an hour.

Something went wrong on our side. Your request is still here. Try again?

Reading what you wrote.

Alikin's reads this to match you. By sending this you agree to our privacy terms. If you're in crisis now, call or text 988, free, 24/7. Alikin is not a crisis service; a person reads your request within 7 days, not straight away.

Alikin uses Anthropic's Claude to read what you write and sort it into matching fields. Your words are never used to train it.

Your email

Sending your request.

We'll email once to confirm it, and again only when we've built something worth showing you.

Request sent.

We'll read it within 7 days and write when there's a kin for you.

How it works

1

Tell us what's going on

Your own words, no account.

2

We find your 5-8 people

We call that group your kin. It opens only when it's full, so you never join an empty room. Then it's the same people for 12 weeks.

3

Follow a path built for your kin

Each week Alikin suggests what to talk about and keeps the notes.

What happens inside your kin

The chat is yours. Here's what Alikin's AI adds to it.

The path

Each week, something worth talking about.

Alikin builds a 12-week path for your kin from what you've each said, using CBT and behavioral-science best practices, so each week builds on the last.

Week 3 of 12

This week's suggestion

What have you tried since week 1, and what stuck?

Based on what you said in weeks 1 and 2. Skip it if something else is on your mind.

Message your kin

Shared notes

What you figure out together doesn't get lost in the scroll.

Alikin turns the conversation into notes you can all reuse: names, places, questions for the next appointment.

Message your kin

Built to feel safe

You may talk about things you haven't said out loud yet. The group is built for that.

Who reads what you write

Alikin's AI, and a person at Alikin. Nothing you write is used to target you, and nobody can buy access to you. What we learn across many requests may be shared in aggregate, never your words or anything that could point to you. We keep your request for 12 months, and delete it sooner if you ask.

You choose your name

Anonymous by default. No phone numbers, ever.

Human-moderated

Peer support, not therapy. If someone makes the group worse, a moderator handles it, not you.

Beyond peers

If something needs a professional, we help you get there.

Before you type

Is this therapy?

No. Peer support, human-moderated. If something needs more, we help you reach a professional.

How long until my kin opens?

We don't put a date on it. A kin opens when there are 5 to 8 people in the same situation, not on a schedule. We'll write when we've built something worth showing you.

How long does my kin last?

12 weeks. Groups form around a situation, and situations move on. At the end you choose: keep going, re-match for the next stage, or close. The notes stay with you.

What does it cost?

Free during early access.

Do you sell my data?

Not yours. We may share what we learn across many requests, in aggregate. Nothing that identifies you, nothing that targets you, and no one buys access to you.

What if no one matches me?

You stay in. More people arrive every week, and we keep looking. We never change what you asked for without asking you.

Why I'm building Alikin

Everyone I interviewed wanted help, or just contact, from others like them. The forums and WhatsApp groups were too big and not tuned to their exact situation. For each of them, somewhere, there are 5 other people in the same spot with no way to find each other. That's what Alikin is for.
