Advice with no ulterior motive
Sometimes the hardest part of asking for help is wondering what the other person wants from you. Here, the answer is: nothing.
Truly unbiased
Your guide isn't your friend, your family, or your colleague. It has no history with you, no side to take, and no outcome it's rooting for — except yours.
Judgment-free
Say the thing you can't say out loud anywhere else. Nothing you share changes how you'll be treated tomorrow.
Specialized, not generic
Anxiety, grief, burnout, identity, transitions — each guide is shaped around one area, with a real methodology behind it.
Safety first
Every conversation has crisis support built in. If things get heavy, your guide slows down and points you to real human help.
Meet your guides
Seven distinct perspectives — clinical rigor and lived experience, side by side. Try any of them, switch anytime.

What Setu is — and what it isn't
We believe unbiased support starts with honesty about ourselves:
- Setu's guides are AI personas, each designed around an established counselling approach. They are not real, licensed clinicians.
- Setu is not therapy and not a replacement for professional mental health or medical care. It's a place to think out loud, feel heard, and find a next step.
- Setu will never diagnose you, advise on medication, or push you toward any decision, product, or belief.
- If you're in crisis, Setu will always point you to real human help, immediately.
- Your privacy is structural, not a promise: Setu is a static site that runs on your own Anthropic API key. Your messages go straight from your browser to Anthropic, and your conversations live only in your browser — there's no Setu server in the middle to store anything.
That's the deal. No fine print.
