Culturally responsive AI, from the start — not an afterthought.
Most AI companions are built for one default user. iBARE is being built the other way around — starting with diaspora, immigrant, and BIPOC communities who are too often an afterthought in mental health technology.
That means understanding code-switching, faith, family expectation, and the specific weight of building a life far from where you started. iBARE is designed to hold that context, not flatten it.
