How Pragma works

A conversation. Not a quiz.

On the surface - warm, human dialogue. Underneath - clinical precision the whole time. Six phases. One experience.

01

The opening

Pragma greets you warmly. No forms, no checkboxes. Just space to say what's loudest right now.

02

The follow

Pragma deepens whatever you opened with. Reading clinical signal beneath every word - without naming it.

03

The bridge

With your consent, Pragma widens the conversation to all areas of your life. Still a conversation - not a checklist.

04

The assessment

A conversation that quietly moves through 13 clinical domains. You never see a form. You experience care.

05

The check-in

Before closing - is there anything you haven't said yet? The 'oh, one more thing' moment often holds the real material.

06

The handoff

Three therapists curated to your complete clinical profile. Language match, specialisation, severity grade, approach. Exactly right.

Why Pragma exists

When I was fifteen,
I needed a therapist.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I went from one therapist to another, spending what little we had on 45-minute sessions with people who weren't quite the right fit. Some weren't trained for what I was going through. I found out the hard way.

I got better - eventually. With time, with the people who loved me, with a stubbornness I didn't know I had. But I never forgot what it felt like to need help and be unable to find the right person.

The more I learned, the more clearly I saw the same gap everywhere - people with real clinical need being met with tools that were never serious enough. Mood trackers. Wellness apps. Five-question quizzes that produce a number nobody knows what to do with.

Pragma is what I built. A clinically backed AI that sees you accurately - then connects you to exactly the right therapist. Not approximately right. Exactly right.

Built clinically

Built as seriously as the people who need it.

Every design decision starts with a clinical question. Is this accurate? Is this safe? Is this good enough for someone in real pain?

13 clinical domains

Depression, anxiety, anger, mania, sleep, substance use, somatic symptoms, suicidal ideation, psychopathology, OCD, personality, dissociation - assessed conversationally, scored invisibly.

Validity layer

Detects minimisation, inconsistency, and narrative incoherence. The picture we build is accurate - not just what the person feels comfortable saying in their first breath.

Crisis protocol

Any suicidal language, self-harm reference, or severe distress - safety protocol activates immediately with crisis resources and human escalation pathways. Crisis overrides every limit.

Precision matching

Language match (40pts), qualifications (35pts), experience and availability (25pts). Three curated therapists - not a directory. Not a list. Curated.

Verified therapists

RCI-verified. Hand-vetted.

Every therapist on Pragma holds a valid RCI licence and is personally vetted by our clinical team. After your assessment, three are curated specifically for you.

Starting with India. Built for the world.

Honest questions,

No. Pragma is a clinically backed assessment and therapist-matching engine. The therapy itself happens with a human therapist you're matched to - Pragma's job is to make sure that therapist is exactly right for you.

Conversations are encrypted. Your therapist receives a structured clinical profile - not the raw transcript - unless you choose to share it. We do not sell data. We never will.

If you're in crisis, please call iCall on 9152987821 (Mon–Sat 8AM–10PM), Vandrevala Foundation on 1860-2662-345 (24/7), or AASRA on 9820466726 (24/7). If Pragma detects crisis language, the safety protocol activates immediately.

The assessment is free - 25 messages per day, crisis access always unlimited. Care+ (₹499/month) adds unlimited conversations, progress tracking, and journaling. Therapist sessions are billed separately.

Every therapist holds a valid RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) licence and is personally vetted by our clinical team for qualifications, active practice, and specialisation accuracy.
