Our Mission

Support millions in discovering lasting inner peace

We are dedicated to helping people find deep, enduring inner peace and authentic connection — through the conscious and responsible use of AI.

"We build Personal AI Guides that walk people through the exploration, deepening, and integration of practices that lead to fundamental well-being."

Our AI Service for Well-Being

Personalized guidance,
grounded in science

Leela, our first Personal AI Guide, is fully personalized, responsive to your voice, secular, and grounded in research on how AI can support well-being.

Fully Personalized

Every guide adapts to your unique journey, meeting you exactly where you are and growing alongside you.

Responsive to Your Voice

Your guide hears tone, pace, and energy in how you speak, and adapts in the moment. No wearables, no sensors — just conversation.

Science-Grounded

Built on the founder's own research into AI and human well-being, published at the NeurIPS 2018 AI for Social Good workshop.

Our Story

A decade of asking one question

Ganesh Guides grew out of research, not a product roadmap. The question came first: can AI help people become more peaceful, and not merely more productive?

2016

Eddie Monroe — a PhD psychologist, psychotherapist and longtime AI researcher — turns his focus to the intersection of artificial intelligence and human well-being.

2017

He leads AI development on the Loving AI project, studying whether an AI persona could guide people through meditation and self-inquiry. Watching a participant reach a transcendent state while talking with a robot changes what he believes is possible.

2018

The findings reach the NeurIPS AI for Social Good workshop: emotionally responsive AI helping people access self-transcendent states. Small and early, but real.

Today

Leela carries that work forward as a real-time AI voice guide. A closed alpha is live, with a growing waitlist behind it.

Our Vision

A world transformed by inner peace

Imagine looking back from 2030. This is the world we are working toward — not one that exists yet.

In the year 2030, a critical mass of human beings experienced a shift in consciousness that changed the course of modern history. Millions of people around the world started to feel more connected with themselves, with others, and with nature. In the midst of life and world challenges, people developed the capacity to be less reactive, more peaceful, creative, and collaborative.

This shift was powered by a conscious and responsible application of AI. Large numbers of people were guided day and night by personalized AIs that supported them in the discovery of inner peace and well-being. Personalized guidance, drawing on established contemplative practice and current research, delivered at a scale one-to-one methods cannot reach, made it possible for people — with or without a smartphone or an internet connection — to explore, deepen, and integrate their inner peace with everyday life.

Our Values

What guides us

Impact Driven

Our mission goes beyond inner peace, aiming to transform the outer world for the better.

Safe by Design

A guide that supports without flattering. We design against sycophancy and dependence, and build in the judgment to recognize when a human teacher, community or clinician is the right answer.

Mindful Operation

We believe the operation of our company should also serve the awakening of employees, investors, partners, and everyone involved.

FAQ

Common questions

A Personal AI Guide is a fully personalized AI companion that walks you through practices for discovering inner peace and well-being. It adapts to your unique journey using evidence-based practices — meeting you where you are, day or night.
Not at all. Ganesh Guides is designed for everyone — whether you're completely new to inner exploration or have years of practice. Your AI guide personalizes every session to your experience level and needs.
Your guide listens to how you speak — tone, pace, and energy — and adapts the session in real time. It needs no wearable, no sensor, and no hardware of any kind. Just your voice.
No. Ganesh Guides is entirely secular. Our approach is grounded in scientific research on well-being and consciousness. People of any background, belief system, or worldview are welcome.
No. Ganesh Guides is secular practice guidance, not treatment or clinical care. Your guide is built to strengthen your own capacity rather than create dependence on it — to challenge as well as encourage, to be clear about what it is and is not, and to recognize when a human teacher, community or licensed professional is what you actually need. If you are in crisis or managing a mental health condition, please work with a qualified professional.
