When your body tells the story your mind cannot.

BAM is biometrically aware. It knows when your heart rate jumped as you mentioned something tender, and gently mirrors that back. Other apps offer content libraries. BAM offers a feedback loop — your body becomes part of the conversation.

Somatic inquiry, affect labeling (name-it-to-tame-it), pendulation between activation and calm, resourcing, and cognitive reframing — drawing on the somatic-experiencing and CBT traditions. The AI companion is trained to ask more than it tells, and to validate before suggesting techniques.

No. BAM is a tool for between-session somatic awareness and self-reflection. It is not a licensed practitioner and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. We recommend BAM as a complement to ongoing therapy, not a replacement.

No. Voice audio is streamed to OpenAI Realtime API for real-time processing using short-lived ephemeral session credentials. Audio is not retained on our servers and is not used to train models.

5 to 15 minutes is typical. BAM tracks the session and offers a closing recap that summarizes your physiological journey across the session.

It offers 1 or 2 emotion labels for what you describe and asks if any fit. You stay in the driver seat. BAM never tells you what you are feeling — it offers language and waits to see what lands.

BAM down-regulates first. Before any cognitive work, the companion offers a grounding breath or resourcing pause. Safety is the priority — insight follows.
