TOOLS + TECH

Battle Scar is not a therapist. Not a chatbot. Not a gimmick.
It’s a mirror, a compass, and a coaching tool — built to serve the future you haven’t given up on yet.

WHAT IS BATTLE SCAR™?

Battle Scar is our flagship AI-powered reflection tool — designed to help veterans, first responders, and anyone in transition reconnect with their goals, values, and next steps. It uses large language models to offer structured prompts, story-driven journaling, and a private coaching experience that never diagnoses, analyzes, or replaces human care.

How It’s Built

  • 💻 Frontend: React (Vercel-hosted)
  • 🔄 Backend: Python FastAPI (Render), GPT-4o via OpenAI API
  • 🔐 Security: Firebase Auth, encrypted logging, nonprofit-only access keys
  • 🧱 Middleware: LangChain-like guardrails + rules-based filters

The Digital Chaplain Layer

We’ve embedded a secondary GPT layer trained specifically on ethical decision-making, trauma-informed reflection patterns, and calm conversational pacing. We call it your “Digital Chaplain” — a voice of stability, not prescription. It never makes choices for you. It reflects. It guides. It holds space.

Data Safety + Compliance

  • ✅ No user data is stored long-term or used for training
  • ✅ All prompts run through nonprofit-approved API keys
  • ✅ Transparent AI usage disclosures shown on entry screens
  • ✅ No commercial monetization of user content or identities
