Guided Safety Assessment

You've found the right place.

Whatever is happening right now, you deserve clarity, not more confusion. Technology facilitated abuse can feel invisible and deeply difficult to explain to others. This system was built specifically for that, from years of frontline research and direct work with people who have experienced technology being used to monitor, control, or harm them. You are in the right place.

1

Talk to FrancesAI

FrancesAI listens to what has been happening and helps you make sense of it. She will give you a personalised risk assessment and a clear plan of action built around your specific situation.

2

Receive your assessment

Your report identifies the specific risks present in your situation and outlines targeted next steps. It is yours to keep, share with a support worker, or take to a specialist.

3

Support and next steps, where relevant

Depending on what FrancesAI finds, she may recommend services or tools specific to your situation — such as specialist device scanning, a physical sweep for hidden trackers, legal support, financial assistance, or crisis services. Not every situation will lead to recommendations.

Where a cost applies, that will be clearly explained before you are directed anywhere. You will never be sent somewhere without knowing why.

FrancesAI is an AI tool built specifically for technology-facilitated abuse — not a general-purpose tool. She is trained on years of frontline experience working directly with victim survivors, and recognises patterns that general AI tools frequently miss.

Nothing you share is stored or linked to your identity. No name, no account, no trace.

No system can address every scenario, and we want you to know that from the outset. Depending on your situation, we may recommend services beyond our own tools. Some are free to access; others carry a financial cost. We will always be transparent about what we are recommending, why we are recommending it, and what it is designed to address. You will never be directed toward anything without a full explanation first.

Your conversation is not linked to your name or contact details and cannot be traced back to you. FrancesAI and Myrtle cannot make legal or clinical determinations. Where specialist support is needed, they will point you toward it.

Device Safety Check

Scan your devices and accounts

Based on what you shared, FrancesAI has recommended a device and account scan. detect.joliro.org checks for monitoring software, compromised access, and signs of ongoing surveillance — specifically built for technology-facilitated abuse scenarios, not general-purpose security.

Actions

Your personalised action plan

Based on your assessment, here are the steps recommended for your situation. You do not have to do this alone — your recommended contacts are below.

Need to speak with someone right now?

Reaching out to a service is the most important first step — you don't need to work through this alone first.

Before you do anything else

These steps apply regardless of your risk level. Do not skip them.

Do not change passwords, remove apps, or reset any devices yet Making changes before a specialist reviews your situation can alert the person monitoring you and destroy evidence needed for any future legal action. Wait until you have specialist guidance.
Do not confront or tell the other person what you are doing Letting someone know they are being investigated can escalate risk, cause them to destroy evidence, or increase surveillance. Seek professional advice before taking any visible action.

Communicate securely

Treat any device or account the other person has accessed as potentially compromised. Build a clean, separate base for anything related to your safety — one that cannot be linked back to anything they can monitor.

Set up an Joliro account for safety-related services — joliro.org FrancesAI recommended detect.joliro.org for your situation. Joliro is secure and private by default, with no connection to any of your existing accounts. Use it as a clean base for all safety-related services so nothing is accessible via accounts that may be compromised.
Use private browsing for all safety-related searches and sign-ups Open an incognito or private window before visiting any support site or creating new accounts. Private browsing does not save your history, session data, or cookies on this device. On most browsers: open the menu and select "New incognito window" or "New private window."
Use a passphrase for every new account, and turn on two-factor authentication immediately Pick three unrelated words and add a number and symbol — for example: Mango.Bridge.Planet7. Do not reuse anything from accounts the other person may know. Two-factor authentication means even if someone knows your password, they cannot get in without a code sent to your phone.

Write down what you've already noticed

Do this from memory only — do not go looking through your devices or accounts. Actively investigating your phone can be distressing and may alert the other person if anything is being monitored. Let a specialist do that with you.

Write down incidents you've already noticed — from memory Note dates, what happened, and what felt wrong based on what you already know. Include things like unexpected location knowledge, messages you didn't send, unusual device behaviour you've already seen, or incidents that concerned you. This information supports any future specialist review or legal process.
Leave everything in place for now If you've already noticed something concerning, do not remove, reset, or delete it yet. A specialist can use what's there to understand the full picture. Removing it first can make their job harder and may destroy legal evidence.

You've worked through the key steps.

Your next step is to reach out to one of your recommended contacts above. They know how to help from here — you don't need to have everything figured out before you call.
