OSWALT FAQ

OSWALT™ is StrongAfter’s proprietary AI assistant, created to offer safe, accurate, and confidential information to men who’ve experienced unwanted or abusive sexual experiences, and to those who care about them. In this FAQ, you’ll learn how OSWALT™ works, how it protects your privacy, and what you can expect when you use it.

OSWALT™ uses a purpose-built, limited form of AI designed for one task: delivering accurate answers sourced exclusively from a closed library of expert-approved materials, not the open internet.

OSWALT™ is not a generative AI system. It does not create original content, expand beyond verified sources, or engage in open-ended dialogue. Instead, think of OSWALT™ as a highly sophisticated search tool, one that ensures all information delivered comes only from materials vetted and approved by StrongAfter’s experts.

OSWALT™ also differs from other AI tools in an essential way: it is completely private.

  • It never tracks, saves, or learns from anything you share.
  • No accounts and no personal data storage.
  • Your conversation disappears as soon as you close your session.
  • It operates in a secure, closed environment designed to protect your identity and confidentiality.

With OSWALT™, you can explore freely knowing your questions—and your story—stay entirely yours.

OSWALT™ is an informational tool, not a therapist. It provides trustworthy information, but it doesn’t engage in back-and-forth conversation, provide advice, or conduct assessments. If you’re interested in talking to a real person, check out More to Explore for other organizations that can help.

Type a question or topic into the prompt box, and OSWALT™ will search our vetted resources and share insights in seconds.

You get to decide where to start; there’s no right or wrong place to begin. Even something as simple as “I don’t know where to start” helps OSWALT™ understand how to support you.

You might also try questions like:

  • “Why do I feel so angry?”
  • “What if I’m confused about what happened?”
  • “Should I tell my partner?”

However you begin, OSWALT™ meets you where you are. No pressure, no judgment, just support.
