Welcome friends

We are MindHeart AI, and we design technology that supports mental health, well-being, and collective healing. We believe AI should care for people and strengthen our humanity, not replace it.

Who We Are

Our Mission

MindHeart AI was co-founded by Dr. Sará Yafah King (CEO) and Kierstin Gray (CPO).

It grew from MindHeart Consulting, started in 2018, which pioneered frameworks for collective well-being and intergenerational healing rooted in Dr. King’s Ph.D. research, The Science of Social Justice — the theory that social justice and well-being are inseparable.

We are creating the world’s first AI platform that unites cutting-edge technology with ancestral knowledge, neuroscience, and trauma-informed design. Our goal is to help humanity realize beloved community - what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described as a society rooted in peace, equality, justice, and love.

The Problem

Mainstream AI isn’t built for care. It extracts data, deepens disconnection, and often amplifies inequality. At the same time, mental health challenges are rising worldwide.

There is a multi-billion dollar gap in the AI market for compassionate, culturally relevant support – and we believe communities themselves should generate the solutions.

Our Solution

We are building the MoLA, a conversational AI that helps people process emotions and navigate life with clarity, compassion and resilience. Grounded in the Systems Based Awareness Map (SBAM) the world’s first map of human awareness developed in Dr. King’s postdoctoral research at Oregon Health & Science University, the MoLA connects inner awareness (thoughts, feelings, body, trauma, identity) with outer awareness (relationships, culture, society, environment).

Healing in one strengthens healing in the other. The SBAM has already reached more than 750,000 people through talks, workshops, and museum and institutional programs, and the response has been extraordinary.

Alongside MoLA, we are creating the Library of Loving Awareness (LoLA), a living resource of practices, stories, and creative tools drawn from neuroscience, global wisdom traditions, and diasporic perspectives. Together, MoLA and LoLA offer deeply personal support while fostering collective healing.

Beyond the digital

MindHeart AI is also about gathering in community. Our MindHeart Activations bring MoLA’s insights to life through art, music, movement, and dialogue. These events create living spaces for belonging, intergenerational healing, and collective care. 

Our Design Ethos

  • Data sovereignty: We anonymize user data - your contributions are meaningful without revealing who you are.

  • Transparency:  The content that trains our models will be openly available.

  • Equity & acknowledgement: We aim to give credit – and eventually compensation – to creators whose work supports our platform. 

What you can do

We’re launching the One Million Hearts campaign on Go Fund Me to raise $1M for our first public prototype. Imagine: if one million people give two dollars, we can demonstrate the power of AI built for compassion, equity, and interdependence.

We ask you to:

  • Donate to our campaign

  • Share it with 10-20 people in your life

What you can do

Across academic, artistic and spiritual spaces, people have shared that SBAM has helped them see their power to heal themselves – and in doing so, to help heal the world. With your support, we can scale this work and build a liberated future together.
