What is ASTI?
ASTI is an AI assistant designed with and for autistic people. It doesn’t try to make you “more neurotypical.” It works with how your brain actually processes information and communicates.
Clear Communication
Direct, literal language on request.
Sensory Respect
Adjustable, minimal, never overwhelming.
Routine Support
Predictable, with advance notice of changes.
Transition Help
Gentle preparation for switching tasks.
ASTI respects that autistic people don’t need to be “fixed” — you need tools designed for how you actually think and communicate.
How ASTI Helps Autistic People
Communication clarity
ASTI can use direct, literal language. No hints unless you ask for them.
When a message is vague ("We should catch up sometime"), ASTI can help interpret likely intent and offer plain‑language options for replying — so you can say what you mean without guesswork or social fatigue.
Sensory‑friendly interface
Every part of ASTI considers sensory processing. You can adjust brightness, contrast, colour, motion, and notification style.
When you’re overstimulated, switch to Minimal Mode: text‑first, reduced motion, no visual clutter. You choose the level of input.
Routine & transition support
ASTI learns your routines and helps keep them stable. When change is coming, you get advance notice so you can prepare.
For task switches, ASTI offers gentle time‑based prompts ("In 5 minutes, we’ll shift to…") — never abrupt, never demanding.
Deep interest respect
Your deep interests aren’t something to manage — they’re valuable. ASTI helps you protect time for them while balancing other responsibilities.
Where useful, ASTI can connect everyday tasks to your interests to make things easier. Your brain, your priorities.

Communication support features
Message tone support
Unsure if a message seems urgent, annoyed, or neutral? ASTI can analyse tone and show a plain‑language read ("Neutral/Busy, not angry") to reduce misinterpretation.

Response suggestions
Not sure how to reply? Choose from direct, polite, or detailed options — all literal, all editable, in your own voice.
Decoding vague requests
When someone says “Let’s circle back,” ASTI can translate probable intent ("They want to revisit later") and offer next steps ("Suggest a time?").
