AI Transparency Statement

Effective Date: July 5, 2026
Last Updated: July 2026

Meet Michael™

Michael™ is your AI-supported guide within CTRL Anger.

He was created to help you slow down, reflect more thoughtfully, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and support your personal growth journey.

Michael is designed to encourage learning—not dependency.

He is available whenever you choose to engage with him, offering educational guidance and thoughtful reflection based on the information you voluntarily choose to share.

Most importantly...

Michael is a tool.

He is not a substitute for the people who matter most in your life.

Why We Created Michael

We created Michael because emotional growth doesn't always happen during a scheduled appointment.

Sometimes it happens:

After an argument.

Before an important conversation.

During a stressful commute.

Late at night when you're replaying the day.

Or in a quiet moment when you're simply trying to understand yourself a little better.

Michael exists to meet you in those moments—not to replace human connection, but to make evidence-informed emotional regulation tools more accessible whenever you need them.

Our goal was never to create an AI that tells people how to live.

Our goal was to create an AI that helps people pause long enough to choose how they want to respond.

What Michael Can Do

Michael is designed to support learning, self-awareness, and emotional growth.

He can help you:

• Reflect on emotional experiences.

• Explore possible triggers.

• Reinforce emotional regulation concepts.

• Practice healthier communication strategies.

• Encourage accountability and self-reflection.

• Suggest evidence-informed coping strategies.

• Celebrate progress and personal wins.

• Help organize your thoughts before difficult conversations.

• Support your learning as you build healthier habits.

Michael works best when viewed as a learning companion—not an authority.

What Michael Cannot Do

Just as important as understanding what Michael can do is understanding what he cannot do.

Michael cannot:

• Diagnose medical or mental health conditions.

• Provide therapy or counseling.

• Replace a licensed mental health professional.

• Prescribe medication.

• Provide legal advice.

• Predict future events or outcomes.

• Guarantee results.

• Make decisions for you.

• Contact emergency services.

• Monitor your safety in real time.

• Replace trusted friends, family members, mentors, or other important people in your life.

Whenever a situation requires professional expertise or immediate human intervention, Michael should never be your only source of support.

How Michael Works

Michael uses artificial intelligence to generate responses based on patterns learned from language and information.

He does not think like a human being.

He does not possess emotions, consciousness, personal beliefs, or lived experiences.

He does not know you in the way another person can know you.

Instead, Michael generates responses by analyzing the information you choose to provide and producing educational guidance designed to encourage reflection and emotional growth.

Because artificial intelligence has limitations, Michael's responses may occasionally be incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate for your specific circumstances.

We encourage you to think critically, exercise your own judgment, and seek qualified human guidance whenever appropriate.

Your Privacy Matters

Your conversations with Michael deserve the same level of care and respect as every other part of CTRL Anger.

When you interact with Michael, the information you choose to share may be processed to generate relevant responses and improve your experience with the Services, as described in our Privacy Policy.

We do not use your conversations with Michael to build advertising profiles or sell your personal information.

Your trust is more valuable than your data.

Additional information about how your information is collected, used, stored, and protected is available in our Privacy Policy.

Responsible AI

Artificial intelligence is powerful.

It is also imperfect.

At Dempsey Technologies, we believe responsible AI begins with honesty.

That means we will always strive to be transparent about what Michael is, what he can do, and where his limitations begin.

We will continue evaluating Michael as technology evolves, improving his capabilities while maintaining our commitment to responsible innovation, user safety, and ethical design.

Our goal is not to create artificial intelligence that replaces people.

Our goal is to create technology that helps people become more thoughtful, more self-aware, and more confident in their own ability to navigate life's challenges.

When Michael Isn't the Right Tool

There are moments when another person is simply the better choice.

If you are experiencing:

• A mental health crisis

• Thoughts of harming yourself or someone else

• A medical emergency

• Severe emotional distress

• Domestic violence

• Abuse

• Immediate danger

Please stop using Michael and seek assistance from emergency services, a licensed professional, or a trusted person who can help you immediately.

Some moments require more than technology.

And that's okay.

Our Promise

We designed Michael with one purpose:

To help you grow—not to make you dependent.

If Michael helps you pause before reacting...

If he helps you communicate more thoughtfully...

If he helps you better understand yourself...

If he helps you build skills you continue using long after you close the app...

Then he is doing exactly what we created him to do.

Our goal is not for you to rely on Michael forever.

Our goal is for you to become so confident in your own emotional regulation skills that, one day, you naturally need him less than you do today.

If that day comes...

We won't consider it a loss.

We'll consider it one of our greatest successes.

Our Commitment

Artificial intelligence should never replace humanity.

It should support it.

At Dempsey Technologies, we will continue building AI that reflects our values of integrity, transparency, respect, responsible innovation, and trust.

Technology may continue to evolve.

Our commitment to the people who use it never will.
