Disclaimer
Version 2.0 — Effective from 10/04/2026
Please read this page carefully before using ManaSmurti. It explains what ManaSmurti is, what it is not, and the limits of what it can do for you.
ManaSmurti is a companion — not a professional service
ManaSmurti is designed to help you think through everyday situations, organise your thoughts, and feel less alone during difficult moments. It does not provide medical advice, mental health treatment, psychological counselling, legal advice, or financial guidance. It is not a substitute for qualified professional help of any kind.
1. Nature of this service
ManaSmurti is a companion platform. When you share something with ManaSmurti, automated algorithms generate a response based on what you have written. These responses are designed to be thoughtful and supportive, but they are produced by software, not by a human being, and not by a trained or licensed professional.
Responses may be:
- Inaccurate, incomplete, or factually incorrect.
- Not suited to your specific situation, circumstances, or context.
- Inconsistent between sessions or conversations.
- Based on incomplete understanding of your message or intent.
Responses should never be treated as fact, expert opinion, or professional guidance, and must not be used as the sole basis for any decision affecting your health, wellbeing, finances, relationships, or legal matters.
2. Not a substitute for professional help
ManaSmurti is expressly not a replacement for any of the following:
- Medical care: ManaSmurti does not diagnose, treat, cure, manage, or prevent any physical or mental health condition. If you have any health concern, consult a qualified medical practitioner registered with the Medical Council of India or the relevant State Medical Council.
- Mental health treatment: ManaSmurti is not a therapist, psychologist, clinical psychologist, counsellor, psychiatrist, or social worker. For mental health concerns, please seek support from a licensed mental health professional.
- Crisis or emergency services: ManaSmurti is not an emergency service and cannot respond to crises in real time. In an emergency, call 112 or contact the nearest hospital immediately.
- Legal advice: Nothing on ManaSmurti constitutes legal advice. For legal matters, consult a qualified advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of India or the relevant State Bar Council.
- Financial or tax advice: ManaSmurti does not provide investment, tax, insurance, or financial planning guidance. Consult a SEBI-registered investment advisor, chartered accountant, or certified financial planner.
- Educational or career guidance: ManaSmurti is not a qualified career counsellor or educational advisor. Consult a certified professional for career or educational decisions.
3. No diagnosis, prescription, or treatment
ManaSmurti does not diagnose any condition, whether physical, psychological, psychiatric, or otherwise. It does not prescribe, recommend, or suggest any treatments, medications, therapies, supplements, or remedies.
If any response from ManaSmurti appears to describe symptoms, conditions, treatments, or medical information, such content is general educational information only and must not be relied upon for any decision about your health or the health of others. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for health-related decisions.
ManaSmurti does not establish, and does not intend to establish, a doctor-patient relationship, therapist-client relationship, or any other professional-client relationship with any user.
