Gigil

Safety and care

Gigil helps with everyday self-care. It is not a medical service.

What Gigil is, and is not

Gigil is not a medical device, therapy, counseling or a crisis service. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Your pet is a friendly companion, not a professional. If you are struggling, please talk to someone you trust or a professional.

If you need help now

These lines are free and confidential.

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

How your pet handles hard moments

  1. It checks first

    Every message is checked for signs you might not be safe before your pet replies.

  2. It does not improvise

    In a crisis, your pet shows a caring, reviewed message and helplines for your country.

  3. No medical advice

    Your pet never diagnoses, treats or gives medical advice.

  4. Real people matter

    Your pet gently encourages you to reach out to someone you trust.

Safe with friends

Friends join only with your code. There is no open chat between people. You can remove, block or report anyone, any time.

For ages 13 and up

If you are under the age of digital consent where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission to use Gigil.
