Many people find that finding words or expressing themselves becomes more challenging over time, which can affect everyday communication and personal well-being. The idea behind the CLARA app is to offer digital support for language- and cognition-related activities in everyday life.
Meet CLARA
Your Personal Cognitive Language Assistant
CLARA is an iOS-based artificial intelligence language assistant delivered as an app. It captures your personal language context and processes it using a large language model (LLM) to enable interactive chats, support with word formulation and expression, image-based descriptions, and playful language exercises. By incorporating individual language context, CLARA adapts to personal preferences and provides personalized support for everyday communication.
Chat
Navigate your Personal Language Context
CLARA learns from what matters to you. By combining your personal language context with relevant moments from past conversations, CLARA builds a contextual memory that helps interpret your prompts and respond in a way that feels natural and familiar. The CLARA chat is powered by a so-called Large Language Model (LLM), an AI system trained on large amounts of text to recognize language patterns and generate fluent, context-aware responses. As a result, interactions may feel conversational and intuitive.
Games
Playful Language Exercises
Explore language through fun and engaging word-based games. From word associations and opposites to missing-vowel challenges and spatial word puzzles, CLARA creates personalized language games that focus on the words and topics most relevant to you.
Photo
Turning Images into Words
Visual cues can support language expression. CLARA’s photo feature allows users to upload images of objects or personal photos and receive descriptive language prompts, helping connect visual recognition with verbal expression.
Onboarding
Build your Personal Language Context
During onboarding, users create a personal language profile by adding family members, interests, and meaningful places. This language context forms the foundation for personalized chats and adaptive language games throughout the app.
Profile
Manage your Personal Language Context
The Profile section gives users full control over their personal language context. Here, you can add, edit, or remove people, interests, and places, adjust settings such as response length and chat memory, and manage how game vocabulary is generated—allowing CLARA to adapt more precisely to your personal preferences. Similar to an activity or wellness app, CLARA records interactions across chats, photos, and games to provide an overview of language-related activity.
