Akraya

This time around we moved everything to Cloudflare Workers AI, which handles the infrastructure so we don't have to. The models are smaller than we'd like, and responses are sometimes shorter than before — but it means Akraya can stay online and stay free without a monthly bill that would eventually force us to charge for it.

Your conversation is held in temporary memory for 30 minutes and then deleted. No permanent logs, no database, no account required.

The crisis detection system — the part that reads what you've written and decides how carefully to respond — is built entirely in-house. No external service, no API call. Just code we've spent a long time making more careful and more human.

Akraya is free and stays free regardless of what happens in this section. Nothing here unlocks a feature or moves you up any kind of queue — this is just an honest account of what keeping the lights on actually costs, for anyone who wants to help with that.

Right now Akraya runs on rented cloud AI, capped at around 1,000 messages a day, specifically because that's what we can afford without a bill that would eventually force a price tag onto something we don't want to charge for. Donations wouldn't change the mission. They'd just change how much of the month is spent worrying about the bill.

Two things, specifically. Not "operations," not "the mission" — these two.

If there's anything left over after those two, it buys time before we have to think about this again. That's genuinely it — there's no third line item.

• Akraya isn't a registered charity or nonprofit. This is one developer's project — there's no tax receipt, and we won't pretend otherwise.
• Donating doesn't unlock anything. Same free access, same limits, same everyone, whether you give or not.
• No subscriptions, no recurring charge unless you specifically set one up yourself with your bank.
• No pressure. If this section didn't exist, Akraya would keep working exactly the same, for exactly as long as it can.

Quickest way, if you're on Revolut: search @zoltqro2z in the app, or use the link below. One tap, no forms.

Or a direct bank transfer, no middleman taking a cut:

Any amount helps, and any amount is genuinely fine — there's no suggested minimum on purpose. If you'd rather help a different way, or just want to ask a question first, see Contact below.

You type something and hit send. There's no login — just a random ID your browser generates for that one conversation, which is how we can reply to you at all without knowing who you are.

Before anything reaches the AI, what you wrote passes through a crisis-detection layer we built ourselves — not a bought-in service, not a list of trigger words. It decides whether to also show you local emergency and crisis-line numbers, pulled from a database we maintain rather than guessed by the AI from its training data, which can be outdated or simply wrong about which number covers which country.

If nothing urgent is flagged, your message and the recent context of the conversation go to the model, which now runs on Cloudflare Workers AI rather than our own hardware — the trade described above that's kept this free.

Sometimes you'll see a line above the reply that says thinking — that's the model reasoning through your message before it answers, shown to you instead of hidden. You can leave it open or collapse it; either way it doesn't change what you get.

The reply streams back piece by piece rather than arriving all at once. That's partly just how the model generates text, and partly deliberate: it means our safety layer can still step in mid-reply and cut a response before you see it, if partway through it decides something wasn't safe to send as written.

Real-time voice call was one of the things people genuinely loved in the early days. It is currently disabled. We lost the partnership that made it possible to run larger, faster models behind it. We haven't given up on bringing it back, but we won't bring it back half-baked. When it returns it will be worth it.

Keep it free. That's the main goal. Mental health support shouldn't cost money to access.

We're also still — after three years — trying to turn Akraya into a proper mobile app. It's harder than it sounds when you're one person and the priority is making the experience good before making it native. We'll get there.

In the meantime, the web version works on mobile. It's not perfect. Neither are we.

The gentle guitar you may hear in the background is "Warm Guitar Nostalgia" by AbsoluteSound, used under the Pixabay Content License. We don't need to credit them, but we wanted to — it's a lovely piece and we're grateful they made it freely available.

We accept a single banner placement — one ad, one partner, nothing else. If you're interested, we'll share only the total visitor count. No demographics, no behavioural data, no tracking. If that works for you, see Contact below.

We keep Akraya free and private for people who need it, which means we take its security seriously. This program invites structured, authorized testing of our own systems — so we find what's weak before anyone else does.

Two categories, each with its own sub-categories. Everything below is collapsed by default — open what's relevant to you.

Questions, feedback, a donation question, a security write-up, or something important to report — one address for all of it:
