HelloGaia is an AI-driven chat service that is designed to help families find fast, trustworthy, always-available answers to questions they are likely to have around the time they have a baby (both prenatal and postnatal) and as their child grows.
We call the service HelloGaia. We think of HelloGaia as hundreds of perinatal professionals in a single voice, always there for you.

Doulas can use it to connect with organizations that might offer added resources for them and the families they work with.

The primary source for HelloGaia is information from Fourth Trimester Podcast, a program centered on finding the best parenting resources and advice from perinatal professionals. Our content comes from professionals who are selected based on their credentials, experience, values and approach.
In terms of values, we believe in love, equity, safety and the empowerment of families. In terms of approach, we align with practices that are baby-friendly, holistic in terms of providing emotional, social, mental and physical support, and centered on self-care for parents and caregivers.
If HelloGaia isn't able to answer a question based on information from our curated content library, she may from time to time fall back to a set of approved online sources such as:
In other words, HelloGaia is curated and different from what you'll find on other chat services.
We chose the name HelloGaia because the name is often associated with concepts around giving life and nurturing. Gaia means life and earth. As a new parent, nurturing a new life becomes your world… In our context, the name symbolizes being a source of wisdom, nurturing guidance, and a grounded presence that helps parents navigate the complexities of family life.
In no way is HelloGaia a replacement for real in-home or in-person care from a human. Even human care done virtually is far superior.
Saying that, if those are not options, HelloGaia's service is a companion offering care and compassion, practical guidance around transitioning into parenthood and reference information about caring for oneself and the family.
Also, it is not medical advice. It is an informational service providing support for families and their supporting communities.
