Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A curated directory of LLM prompts specifically designed for grief processing that include safety guardrails and crisis resource signposting.
  2. A specialized AI companion app that integrates with a user's existing therapist to provide consistent, non-judgmental emotional support between sessions.
  3. A community-led validation framework that establishes best practices for using AI as a supplemental tool for mental health without replacing professional care.
