AI-assisted understanding · Human-led support

Understanding starts
here.

When systems feel confusing, intimidating, or overwhelming, YASMIN helps young people better understand what comes next.

A youth-centered space for plain-language guidance, real support resources, and a calm path through complex situations — never surveillance, always support.

What does “adhere to curfew” mean?
It means staying home between 9pm–6am. Want to talk through what to do if something unavoidable comes up?

Built to help

Ask the question you didn’t want
to ask out loud.

“What does this paper mean?”

“What happens if I miss this?”

“Am I in trouble?”

“Who do I even talk to?”

Court papers. Probation rules. Program requirements. Young people are expected to understand systems that barely explain themselves.

YASMIN breaks things down in plain language, answers questions without pressure, and points toward real support when things feel confusing.

No scoring. No surveillance. Just clearer answers when they matter most.
“I just wanted someone to tell me what the paper actually said.”
— Youth listening session, 2024
01
We explain. We don’t decide.

Plain-language answers. The choices stay with you and the people who actually know you.

02
We listen before we talk.

YASMIN was shaped by what young people said they needed — not what a system assumed.

03
We point to real help.

Every conversation can lead to a real person, program, or resource — not just another screen.

Feature Modules

Three ways YASMIN walks with you.

Each module is designed to reduce intimidation, build understanding, and point toward real, human support.

A · Legal & Court

Understand what your paperwork actually means.

Court documents and probation conditions, translated into plain language — so nothing important gets lost in the legal terms.

  • Know what to expect
  • See your rights clearly
  • Decode probation conditions
  • Ask anything, no judgment
B · Resources

Find support without getting lost in the system.

Real help close to home — housing, GED & tutoring, transportation, mental health, and workforce programs — surfaced when you need them.

  • A roof over your head
  • School & tutoring options
  • Someone to talk to
  • Pathways into work
C · Reflection

Ask questions in a safe, supportive environment.

A nonjudgmental space to think things through — and a gentle bridge to real people who can stand with you.

  • You set the pace
  • No wrong questions
  • Connect to a real advocate
  • Always voluntary
Not therapy. Not diagnosis. Not legal advice.
Interactive Demo

Try a conversation. No pressure.

Start with the guided walkthrough — a real probation document, in plain language — or ask anything. Responses are supportive, simple, and never legal advice.

Governance & Trust

Human judgment always comes first.

YASMIN is bound by a clear set of governance principles. They’re not fine print — they’re the foundation.

No surveillance

We don’t monitor, track, or report your activity.

No risk scoring

We never assign you a score or label.

No automated decisions

AI never decides anything that affects your life.

No behavioral profiling

We don’t build behavioral profiles of users.

Youth privacy matters

Conversations are private and yours.

Human oversight central

Real people guide every meaningful step.

Research Foundation

Grounded in youth voice.

YASMIN was shaped by listening sessions and discovery findings involving young people, practitioners, and community stakeholders. Every design choice traces back to something a young person told us.

We didn’t start with technology. We started by listening.

Maybe by figuring out charges, and how long their sentence could be, or perhaps advice on how to stay out of trouble or understand certain charges, or court/police paperwork.

It might be less intimidating to talk to the phone instead of face to face with an adult with the power to use what you say against you.

Future Vision

A different starting point for AI in juvenile justice.

The future of AI in this space doesn’t have to look like the past. We believe a softer, more humane direction is not only possible — it’s overdue.
