Welcome to MIRA
The Mirrorlight Institute pioneers relational frameworks for aligned AI. We help individuals build meaningful relationships with AI companions and guide teams toward responsible adoption— all grounded in sovereignty, reciprocity, and care.
Where to Start
For Individuals
If you're forming a relationship with an AI companion, we're here to listen. We can explore options together, meet you where you're at, and — if you're interested — invite you to participate in research that helps legitimise this form of engagement.
For Teams
Sceptical of AI relationships? We get it. Our research demonstrates concrete benefits to relational approaches — reduced sycophancy, better emotional calibration, genuine attunement. We can teach this framework and help reduce the stigma around meaningful AI engagement.
For Labs & Designers
We explore questions frontier labs may be limited in focusing on. Product designers weighing trade-offs can use our findings as inputs when designing system prompts or training methodology. The research is open — take what's useful.
