A MESSAGE FROM SUSAN WAGENAAR, FOUNDER
The Integration of AI into Our Digital Platform
For the first time in modern history, virtual recovery is playing a crucial role in empowering individuals to break free from the chains of addiction, offering unprecedented digital access to support, resources, and community—all from the comfort of their own homes. This isn't merely a minor shift; it's a massive seismic change, driven by cutting-edge technology, that is transforming society's approach to healing, and redefining what recovery and human connection means.
As technology continues to advance, we envision a future where this virtual platform, and those that we are developing, become even more immersive, personalized, and accessible. We're committed to leading this evolution by actively exploring innovative solutions. One such solution is the integration of the advanced AI assistant, Gemini, directly into our digital platform.
Gemini will serve as a 24/7 Support Ally, offering personalized support, answering questions instantly, and providing tailored recommendations. This constant presence will foster a sense of connection and empowerment, all within the safe and supportive environment of our virtual ecosystem.
This integration represents a significant step forward in the evolution of virtual recovery, harnessing the power of AI to provide unparalleled support and guidance to those on their journey to recovery.
