Talk it through with the AI guide

Before you begin

A quick safety check

You are speaking with an AI guide, not James replying live. It can help you think about what you would actually be willing to give your hours to. It is not a charity, a volunteering service, a recruiter, a lawyer, a financial adviser, a therapist or an emergency service. It cannot place you anywhere, vouch for anyone, or advise you on money.

It will not name an organisation, a cause or a charity, and it will not tell you where to put your time. It does not forecast which jobs will go or when. If you are feeling that there is no point, or that you are a burden, that is not a conversation for a website: contact your local emergency services or a crisis line now.

This chat is currently complimentary, with up to ten turns in a rolling 24-hour period on this guide, across all your conversations here. Safety-related responses are never limited by this allowance.
