A Deep dive is a longer conversation where VAIA explores one topic with you, and the research behind it, in depth. Extra readings, messages and Deep dives never expire. A Vibe Drop is a release of new sound therapies.
We tune our playlists, our workouts and our sleep. When the mind gets heavy, we put on a sound and hope.
Introducing VAIA
Your state, revealed.
Your sound, matched.
Thirty seconds of your voice becomes a reading of your state of mind. Then VAIA finds the sound for where you want to be.
It reads your state
Talk for thirty seconds and get a reading of where your mind is right now. No forms, no mood sliders, no guessing.

A restorative audio session chosen for the moment you’re in.
It shows what moved
Check in again after listening and see where you landed.
One partner, all day.
“I’m on in ten minutes.”
VAIALet’s get you ready. Here’s Focus Fusion, ten minutes.

VAIAWind down with me. Tell me how it went when you’re done.
Sample conversation. Session suggestions depend on your check-in.
A clearer view of how you are.
Your voice carries more than your words. Every check-in turns it into three readings in plain language, so you can see your state, plan your day and notice how you bounce back.
Readiness looks ahead. How prepared you are for what’s next, so you can pick the right time for demanding work.
Resilience shows your pattern. How you recover across days and weeks, built only from your own readings.
Screens representative of a Pro account.
Curious about your brain? Just ask.
Ask any cognitive wellness question, by voice or by typing, from anywhere in the app. VAIA answers from established and emerging brain health research and tells you how strong the evidence is and where it comes from.
Tap a question to see how VAIA answers.
Sound made by people, tuned to the moment.
The right sound can help you find the frequency the moment calls for. VAIA picks it for you, from a library composed by human Vibe Guides.
Composed, never generated. Every session is written by a Vibe Guide. None are made by AI.
Chosen for right now. Your check-in decides what VAIA suggests, and you’re always free to pick something else.
For every part of the day. Focus, Relax, Renew and Sleep, plus Rituals for moments like meeting prep and reading.
Backed by research
After a single sound meditation, people reported significantly less tension, anger, fatigue and depressed mood.1
In a study of 62 adults, researchers measured mood before and after a singing bowl sound meditation. Tension dropped most for people who had never tried it before.
Read the studyMindfulness meditation programs showed moderate evidence of easing anxiety, depression and pain.2
A Johns Hopkins review of 47 randomized trials with more than 3,500 participants found the benefits went beyond placebo.
Read the reviewTalk it out. It’s good for you.
Some days need more than a check-in. Voice Journal gives you a private place to vent, ramble and talk through your day out loud, while VAIA listens. Decades of research show that putting a hard day into words does more for you than turning it over in your head.
Speak freely. No forms, no prompts to fill in and no right way to do it. Talk for as long as you need.
VAIA listens to how you sound. Every entry also gives VAIA a fresh read on your state, so you can see how your days are shifting over time.
Your words stay yours. Entries are private, and you can review or delete them anytime.
What the research says
Talking through a hard experience did more for well-being than just thinking about it.3
Over three days, people who talked or wrote about their worst experience reported better well-being four weeks later than people who only thought about it.
Speaking about stress was linked to a healthier immune marker than writing about it.4
Students who talked about stressful events in three 20-minute sessions showed the strongest change in a common immune marker.
Four days of talking it out, and better days three months later.5
People living with arthritis who talked privately about stress reported better mood and daily functioning three months on.
Research on opening up out loud goes back to the 1980s.6,7 Talking about something hard can feel heavier at first, and the lift tends to come later.
Small habits. A lifetime of difference.
Stack sound sessions into rituals. Talk through your day out loud. Learn something new about your brain. Small, enjoyable habits like these are how VAIA helps you care for your mind at every age and stage.
Mind care habits that are actually fun.
The more VAIA gets to know you, the more it suggests small habits that fit your day and your stage of life. Here are a few of the ways it starts.
- Mood and connection
Say it out loud.
A daily voice check-in turns how you feel into words, and VAIA reads your state from how you say them. Every conversation is a little voice workout, and when it matters, VAIA points you toward the people in your life.
- Lifelong learning
Keep your curiosity going.
Ask VAIA anything about your brain, or take a Deep dive into the research behind it. Something new to learn, every day.
- Hearing
Listen at a level that’s kind to your ears.
Sessions are made to work at whatever volume feels right, so you never have to turn it up to feel it.
- Routine
Stack sessions into a ritual.
Line up sessions for your morning, your commute or your wind-down, and AutoPlay carries you from one to the next. Then tell VAIA how you feel.
VAIA doesn’t lower anyone’s personal risk. It helps you build habits around the areas research says matter.8 Saving stacks is included with VAIA Pro.
Why your voice matters
Using your voice, especially singing, is a full-brain workout.
Lights up nearly the whole brain
Music engages memory, emotion, reward and movement at the same time, which is why it’s encoded as such a rich experience.9
Builds connections
A 2025 review linked singing to stronger connections in pathways tied to language, memory and emotional regulation, and to sharper verbal skills and cognitive resilience with age.10
Built into VAIA
VAIA is voice-first by design. Checking in, asking questions and putting how you feel into words keep you using your voice every day.
I was built on one idea from the 2024 Lancet Commission: some of what shapes your brain over a lifetime is in your hands. So I turn the everyday parts into habits you’ll enjoy, from stacking sound sessions to talking through your day.

Up to 45% of dementia cases worldwide could be prevented or delayed by addressing 14 modifiable risk factors across life.8
