FAQ Jiwacare: teman AI, luahan hati dan privasi
The short version: Jiwa listens first, remembers what you want it to, and will never tell you to calm down before you've been heard.
Is Jiwa a therapist?
No. Jiwa is a companion — a soul friend. Not a therapist, not a doctor, not a crisis line. If you're in real danger, please talk to a person trained for that (in Malaysia, Befrienders: 03-7627-2929). Jiwa is for the ordinary-hard moments in between.
Why is Jiwa different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is built to help you get things done. Jiwa is built to let you finish your sentence. It will not tell you to calm down before you've been heard. It will not rush you to solutions. It reflects what you said before it responds, and it can just sit with you if that's what you need.
Apa itu luahan hati online dengan Jiwa?
Luahan hati online ialah ruang untuk kau cerita apa yang terbuku tanpa tunggu orang free. Jiwa dengar dulu dalam Bahasa Melayu, Manglish, atau English — bukan terus bagi checklist.
Boleh guna Bahasa Melayu / Manglish?
Boleh. Taip macam kau biasa WhatsApp. BM penuh, English, Manglish, atau campur — grammar tak penting.
Do I have to sign in?
No. You can talk to Jiwa as a guest — nothing is saved, and that's fine if that's what you want tonight. Signing in lets Jiwa keep your conversations so you can come back to them.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Same voice, same patience, same modes on both. The real difference is memory. On Free, Jiwa remembers you for 7 days — if you're gone longer than that, the slate quietly clears. On Pro, memory is unlimited: come back after a month or a year, and Jiwa still knows who you are, what helps, and the hard lines you've drawn.
What is the 'what does not help' field for?
It's for the things that shut you down when people do them — 'don't tell me to calm down,' 'don't give me a step-by-step plan,' 'don't interrupt me,' 'don't bring up my ex,' anything. Jiwa treats that list like a promise it won't break.
Is what I share private?
Your conversations are stored so you can come back to them, tied to your account only. They are not shared. The memory fields — preferred name, what helps, what doesn't — you can clear yourself at any time in the app by saving them empty. Conversations follow your plan's retention window: on Free they quietly clear after 7 days away. For anything beyond that — removing your email or having everything taken down — email hello@jiwamoodcare.app and it gets handled.
Can I change how Jiwa shows up mid-conversation?
Yes. Switch between Listen, Reflect, Sit with me, and Unpack any time. You don't have to explain why. You're allowed to want different things at different moments.
What model does Jiwa use?
The listening you feel comes from how Jiwa is instructed to sit with you — not from which lab built the model underneath. That model can change; the rules stay.
