A quiet, private companion for UK veterans.
Zentrafuge is a calm AI space for veterans who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck between military and civilian life. No judgement. No labels. Just a steady presence that listens and remembers.
Currently in beta. Based in Medway, built with veterans and their supporters.
What Zentrafuge offers
- ๐ช A private AI companion tuned for veteran language and experience
- ๐งญ Support through transition, isolation, and difficult nights
- ๐งฉ Encrypted, memory-aware conversations โ not a throwaway chatbot
- ๐ค Designed to complement, not replace, existing services

Built as a refuge, not a product.
Zentrafuge started as a personal project: a calm, always-there companion for people who live with too much noise in their heads and not enough safe places to talk. Over time, it became clear that veterans โ especially those feeling forgotten or cut adrift โ need this kind of space most.
We're building slowly and carefully: encrypted memory, trauma-aware design, and no data-selling. The early Medway pilot will help us prove what works before we scale further.
What we're working towards
- A trusted AI companion tailored to each veteran
- Tools to track mood, patterns, and progress over time
- Bridges to real-world services when more help is needed
- Free or sponsored access for those who can't pay
For veterans
Zentrafuge is for the moments between. When it's too late to call anyone, when you don't want to "bother" family, or when you can't find the words for what's going on.
- Talk freely โ no judgement, no diagnosis, no paperwork.
- Let the system remember your story, so you don't have to retell it.
- Set boundaries: what's on the table and what isn't.
- Get gentle prompts when you're ready, not lectures when you're not.
Important
Zentrafuge is not an emergency service or a replacement for professional care. If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please contact your local emergency services or one of the veteran helplines listed below.
For organisations & supporters
We are looking to work with veteran charities, NHS-linked services, and community groups who want to offer their people an additional, low-friction layer of support.
- Offer a complementary out-of-hours support channel.
- Give veterans a private space to "warm up" before seeking formal help.
- Co-design features and safeguards that match your standards.
- Explore sponsored access for those who can't afford subscriptions.
