Who is behind Sol, and why we built him.

Hi there,

Sol did not start as a tech idea. He started as a frustration.

So many people quietly wonder about their drinking long before they would ever call it a problem. They are not in crisis. They are not ready to walk into a service or label themselves anything. They are just sitting with a question they have nowhere to take. Most support is built for people who have already decided to change. Very little exists for the moment just before that, when someone is only beginning to wonder.

Sol was built for that moment.

He is the work of people with lived experience of their own relationship with alcohol, alongside clinical and recovery expertise. That combination matters. Lived experience keeps Sol honest and human. The clinical grounding keeps him safe and credible. Neither on its own would have been enough.

Sol is not here to diagnose you, push you, or report on you. He is a private, judgement-free space to think out loud, at your own pace. What you say to Sol stays between you and Sol.

We built him because we believe the earliest, quietest questions deserve a good answer too. If you have ever wondered whether you drink a little too much, you are exactly who we made him for.
