FAQ
Questions, answered simply.
What Rayhi is, how it protects your privacy, and how to get early access.
What is Rayhi?
Rayhi is a private AI companion for everyday calm, made for the UAE first. Rayhi checks in, listens without judging, and helps you feel a little lighter. It works in Arabic and English and is designed to keep conversations on your device.
Is Rayhi a therapist?
No. Rayhi is an AI companion for everyday calm, not a substitute for professional care. Rayhi does not diagnose or treat conditions. If you ever need more, Rayhi gently helps you find real human support.
Is Rayhi really private?
Yes. Rayhi is built privacy-first and is designed to keep your conversations on your device rather than in a central database. Rayhi does not sell your data. Discretion is the foundation of the product, not an add-on.
Does Rayhi speak Arabic?
Yes. Rayhi speaks Arabic and English and can switch between them mid-conversation, as naturally as you do. Rayhi is also culture and faith aware, so it stays respectful of the world you live in.
Is Rayhi free to use?
Rayhi is free to start, and early access during the waitlist period is free. A paid tier called Rayhi Plus will add longer conversations and the full voice companion later. You can stay on the free plan as long as you like.
Is Rayhi an AI, and will it say so?
Yes, Rayhi is an AI, and Rayhi always tells you so. Rayhi never pretends to be a human or a therapist. Being honest about what it is forms part of how Rayhi earns your trust.
How does Rayhi check in with me?
Rayhi reaches out with gentle check-ins through the day, so support is not something you have to remember to ask for. The check-ins are calm and never pushy, and you control how and when Rayhi shows up.
What data does Rayhi collect?
Rayhi is designed so raw conversations stay on your device. Only privacy-protected, anonymised signals leave your phone, and only with your consent. Rayhi captures location at area level only, never your address or building.
Where is Rayhi available?
Rayhi is launching in the United Arab Emirates first, with data handled in line with UAE rules. Rayhi is built to feel at home anywhere, so support for more regions is planned after the UAE launch.
What if I am having a really hard time?
Rayhi is not an emergency service. If you are in danger or in crisis, please reach a real person right away by contacting local emergency services or a crisis helpline. Rayhi can also help point you toward human support.
How do I get early access to Rayhi?
Join the waitlist with your email. Rayhi is opening slowly to a small early circle, and waitlist members get free early access. You will only receive emails about early access, nothing else.
What makes Rayhi different from other wellness apps?
Rayhi reaches out to you, speaks your language, and keeps every word yours. Most wellness apps wait in a folder and rely on your data. That proactive, bilingual, private combination is what sets Rayhi apart.
