Hello, I'm Asha
A calm presence for your health journey.
Some days are hard to put into words.
taluvu helps you make sense of how you’re feeling, notice patterns over time and remember what matters.
- Track how you feel in a few taps
- See what helps you and what makes things harder
- Talk things through with Asha
- Prepare for appointments
Asha can't diagnose or give medical advice, so check with your doctor before making any medical decision.
taluvu can't help in an emergency. If you feel unsafe, call 999 or Samaritans free on 116 123.
Asha uses Anthropic to reply
When you message Asha, taluvu sends these to Anthropic PBC, an AI company:
- Your messages and the recent chat
- Your first name, conditions and what you've written about your health
- Check-ins: mood, sleep, energy, pain, symptoms and notes
- Journal extracts, what you log (like a flare) and what Asha remembers
- Your cycle phase and predicted next period, if you track your period
- A medicine box photo, if you scan one
Anthropic doesn't train on it. taluvu keeps no copy.
Check-ins, journal and records work either way. Change this any time in Me › Privacy & Support.
Living with something most people can’t see?
You don’t have to explain it here. taluvu already knows a great deal about what you’re carrying.
Takes about four minutes. Nothing is shared with anyone.
What are you living with?
Start typing and we’ll find it. Add as many as you like, and you can change this any time.
No diagnosis yet? taluvu works without one. Search “not yet diagnosed”.
How long has this been part of your life?
So Asha knows whether this is new and frightening, or long and wearing.
Step 2 of 2. Everything after this, we give.
Save your first day?
You’ve just put something real in. An email means you can reach it from another phone, and it’s how we’d remind you before a trial ever charged you.
Only ever used for your account and anything you’ve asked us to send. Delete it, and everything else, whenever you like.
Want a gentle nudge once a day?
One quiet reminder, at a time you pick. No badges, no streaks, and no guilt if you miss it.
Step 1 of 2: your name next
Last thing. What should Asha call you?
A first name, a nickname, or nothing at all. It stays on your device.
Step 2 of 2: then a bit about why taluvu exists
Built by someone who has been there.
Built for people suffering alone, by someone who wanted something better.
I live with adductor dysphonia. It makes speaking unpredictable and exhausting. Some days my voice drops to a whisper, or goes altogether, with no warning at all. You learn to ration words. You plan a day around whether you’ll be able to speak in it. You stop speaking to people and time your days around your condition.
It took more than three years, and a lot of appointments, to be taken seriously. Along the way I was told it might be stress, anxiety, or something in my head. I’d come out of those rooms with nothing. Lost, frustrated and looking for answers.
None of it shows. That’s the part I wasn’t ready for. You can be genuinely unwell and still look completely fine, and looking fine somehow gets held against you.
What I kept wishing for was simple. Something that remembered when I couldn’t. Somewhere to put it all, so that when I finally got the appointment I wasn’t starting from nothing. Something that could speak for me on the days speaking was the hardest part.
Nobody had built a good enough solution. So I did.
With love and care I created taluvu.
Mike, who made taluvu
I'm here with you.
I'm not here to judge or advise. I'm here to listen, remember, and be a calm presence on every kind of day.
Ready when you are
There's no rush, and no wrong way to start.

Good morning
Check-ins and energy you've recorded.
Flowers reflect your overall daily feeling. A sprout means you logged something without rating the whole day. Soil means no check-in was recorded.
Symptoms
Check in today, then see how it has been going.
Your own list — not a diagnosis. What you tick here shapes your check-in and your Doctor Summary.
Calendar
A calendar of what you’ve recorded. Tap any day to look back at it.
Let it out.
Say everything. Nobody else will see this.
Journal
Write or record something you want to remember.
Doctor Summary
A clear summary to take to your appointment — so you can be understood, without having to hold it all in your head.
Me
Manage your profile, health information, data and support.
Your space is ready.
Calm Space
You’re here. That’s enough. Choose whatever feels kindest.
Nothing here needs deep breaths. If you feel dizzy, tingly or spaced out, ease off and breathe less, not more — stopping is always the right move.
You gave your body a moment.
That counts.
Upcoming
Add appointments, interviews and big days. Asha will help you get ready as they get close. Tap a date to add something.
Asha checks in here and on your Home screen — this prototype doesn't send phone notifications yet.
Explain My Experience
Tap any section to edit. This is your document.
Based on what you've shared with Asha. This is your account — not a medical document.
What Helps Me
What helps. What to avoid. What to try.
This grows as you use taluvu. Every time you log what helped or made things harder, it comes here too.
Why some days feel harder than others
Many people living with chronic or invisible illness experience changing levels of energy, concentration and physical capacity. Some days more is available. Other days even simple tasks feel enormous.
This does not mean you are failing. Your capacity changes.
Imagine everyone starts the day with a number of spoons. Each spoon represents a small unit of energy.
Getting dressed. Making food. Travelling. Working. Speaking. Socialising — all use spoons.
For some people, spoons replenish quickly. For others, every spoon matters. When they run out, symptoms become harder to manage.
The goal is not to do less. The goal is to spend energy intentionally.
This is a self-awareness framework, not a medical tool. You can change this anytime in your Profile.
What Asha Knows
Review the information Asha can use to make replies more relevant. You can edit or remove any item.
When you save something to your journal or a day, Asha can use it to understand you better next time you talk. Everything she keeps is listed on this page, and removing it here takes it out of her memory. Your entry itself stays in your calendar and journal.
Based on what you've shared — I'll use this to make our conversations more relevant, never to judge.
Prepare & Explain
Prepare for appointments and explain your experience to other people.
