How Blaine responds to suicide and self-harm

Last updated: October 2026

Blaine is an AI, not a person. It isn't a crisis service and can't contact emergency services for you.

What Blaine does. Blaine checks its own replies and tries to block any that encourage suicide or self-harm or describe how to do it. When it blocks a reply, it shows how to reach help instead: in the US, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. These checks are automatic and can miss things.

If you need help now, call or text 988 in the US.

If you're outside the US, contact your local emergency number.
