Explore your sexuality. Voice your needs.
Eliza is an AI facilitator that helps women explore their own sexuality, then voice their needs to the people in their lives: a partner, a friend, a doctor.
Come as you are.
Eliza · Why
Most of us were never given the words.
School, where it taught anything, taught risk and contraception. What was missing, in the words of women in our workshops: "Discuss about pleasure and happiness." Then the questions pile up, the sources are hard to judge, and the conversation with a partner or a doctor does not happen.

Eliza · Your sexuality wheel
Six dimensions of you
My identity
who you are and who you are drawn to.
My body
how it looks, feels and changes.
My communication
asking, saying yes and no, boundaries.
My health
contraception, check-ups, noticing when something is off.
My relationships
intimacy, closeness, dating.
My sexual life
desire, pleasure, fantasies, solo, partnered or none.
Eliza connects.
Every path is built to end with a real person.
Eliza · Co-design
Designed with women, not for them.
We are building Eliza in co-design workshops with women from different countries. In their own words, this is what they want:
With myself
"Importance of space and time to explore the topic"
With a partner
"Communicating my sexual preferences to my partner"
With friends
"Confiding in my friends about my sex life"
With a doctor
"Talking about my sexual needs with healthcare professionals and specialists"
Before anyone mentioned Eliza, one of them proposed it: "Prepare a clear speech for your doctor…"
Eliza gives general information from reliable sources, always with the source shown. Eliza does not diagnose and is not a replacement for medical advice or therapy. When you want more, a separate space connects you with vetted professionals and products.

For organisations
Eliza gives the women you look after a private place to explore their sexuality and get ready for the conversations that matter, with a partner or with a professional. We are looking for employers, universities and healthcare providers to pilot it with.
For investors
AI companions are built to keep people talking to the machine. Eliza is built to send women back to the people in their lives. If you invest in women's health or responsible AI, we would like to show you the deck.
