That’s a hard place to be, and reaching out right now is the strong move. You’re 22 days steady, and that still counts. Want to take 60 seconds with the orb, or reach someone first?

The moment that matters

The urge does not show up at your therapist’s office. It shows up at 2am, on the walk back, in the pocket-pull toward the app. In that moment you cannot reason your way out, and “remember your reasons” is too much to ask. Orby is built for exactly that moment, so you do not have to face it alone or figure it out by yourself.

How Orby helps

1

Tell it how you feel

No forms, no figuring out the "right" technique. Say what is going on, in your words, and Orby meets you there.

2

It guides you to the right thing

Orby points you to the grounding tool, technique, or resource that fits the moment, and helps you actually get through it.

3

It connects you to people

Reach a sponsor or contact, find a meeting, and if Orby senses real danger it routes you straight to a human and crisis support.

Not a generic chatbot

Knows recovery, not the whole internet

Orby is grounded in Cope Compass’s real techniques and your own context, your streak, your plan. Not generic advice scraped from blogs.

Routes you to real things

Actual meetings, real techniques, your sponsor, the crisis line. Orby points you to help that exists, never invented resources.

Knows when to step back

Orby is support, not treatment. It hands you to a human and to crisis services the moment something serious shows up.

Orby is always here

Recovery doesn’t keep business hours. The hardest moments often come at 2am, after a slip, before anyone you trust is awake. Orby is here for those moments. It’s not a sponsor or a therapist. It’s a bridge to one.

Honest about what Orby is

Orby is support, not a substitute for professional care, and it is not a crisis line. When it senses real risk, it routes you straight to a human and to 988 and 1-800-GAMBLER. It does not diagnose or replace a therapist, a sponsor, or treatment.

Common questions

Is Orby private?

Yes. It runs under our HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, your conversations are never used to train AI models, and we minimize what is sent. See the trust center for details.

Is Orby a replacement for therapy or a sponsor?

No. Orby is in-the-moment support, not treatment. It is built to point you toward real people, professional care, and your recovery plan, not to replace them.

Is it a real person?

No, Orby is AI, and it always tells you so. It is not a crisis line either. When it detects real risk it routes you to a human and to 988 and 1-800-GAMBLER.

Orby is free to start, with a set number of messages a day. Plus and Pro plans raise the limit and unlock the voice version.
