What makes Galea different — and why you can trust it
Galea isn’t just another chatbot or AI tool offering advice. It’s built on a completely different foundation: decades of expert knowledge and structured reasoning from thousands of qualified practitioners.
Where most AI systems rely purely on language patterns (like large language models or LLMs), Galea uses what’s called Cognitive AI — a form of machine learning designed to mirror how real practitioners think. It doesn’t guess based on internet data. Instead, it draws on a carefully structured model of mental health expertise, originally developed through interviews with over 3,000 professionals.
This means Galea’s recommendations and insights are:
- Explainable – You can see how each conclusion was reached
- Consistent – It doesn’t hallucinate or drift off-topic
- Clinically grounded – Based on real-world mental health expertise, not crowd-sourced information
Galea’s technology has been refined over years of academic and clinical validation. It doesn’t just mimic understanding — it genuinely helps structure, assess, and support complex mental health decisions in a transparent, accountable way.
How is Galea different from ChatGPT or other LLMs?
Unlike large language models (LLMs) that predict text based on patterns in internet data, Galea is built on structured clinical knowledge and decision models developed with over 3,000 mental health professionals. It doesn’t guess — it reasons.
What is cognitive AI?
Cognitive AI is an approach to artificial intelligence that mirrors how experts actually think and make decisions. It focuses on structured reasoning, not just language prediction. Galea uses this to reflect how real practitioners assess and interpret information.
Can I trust Galea’s assessments?
Yes. Galea is grounded in validated models of mental health reasoning and has undergone years of academic and clinical evaluation. Its decisions are explainable and based on evidence, not speculation.
Can Galea make a diagnosis?
No. Galea does not diagnose. It helps individuals explore concerns, understand patterns, and identify next steps — always with the intention of supporting, not replacing, professional care.
How does Galea protect against bias or misinformation?
Because Galea’s foundations come from expert consensus and structured reasoning (not internet scraping), it avoids many of the common biases and errors found in generic AI tools. Every part of its process can be reviewed and explained.
Who is Galea designed for?
Galea is used by individuals, practitioners, and organisations to support structured mental health assessments. It’s adaptable to different needs but always puts human judgement first.
