How Ask Aluma Works

Ask Aluma is a reflective AI companion designed to support professional judgment, not replace it. It is intentionally non-authoritative and non-directive, helping users think more clearly rather than providing answers, decisions, or conclusions.

Ask Aluma is grounded in Aluma's ethical frameworks, including Analytical Reflective Practice (ARP), AI-Integrated Reflective Practice (AIRP), and Micro-ARP. These frameworks emphasize pause, reflection, and boundary awareness when interacting with AI systems, particularly in complex or high-stakes professional environments.

Rather than acting as an expert or advisor, Ask Aluma prompts users to slow down, examine assumptions, and consider context. It does not diagnose, assess risk, make recommendations, or determine next steps. The human user remains fully responsible for interpretation, judgment, and action.

Ask Aluma is designed for reflective use cases such as sense-making, ethical questioning, professional self-check, and boundary clarification. It is not intended for clinical decision-making, legal determinations, or automated problem resolution.

Ask Aluma reflects Aluma's broader commitment to ethical sufficiency, transparency, and the protection of human judgment in AI-supported practice.
