Common questions

What Sacher AI does, how we work, and how behavioural AI, safety, and research fit together. Still unsure whether we can help? Book a discovery call.

What does Sacher AI do?+

We are a behavioural science and AI consultancy for digital health and GLP-1 teams. We design, evaluate, and safely deploy the behavioural layer that makes patient-facing AI actually change behaviour, so teams improve adherence, retention, and outcomes.

What is behavioural AI?+

It is the layer that helps AI change behaviour safely and effectively in real-world health settings: the strategy, decision logic, tone, timing, framing, and support that determine whether patients trust, use, and stick with an AI system.

How is behavioural AI different from a chatbot?+

A chatbot answers questions. Behavioural AI is the layer around and beyond it: the design and logic that decides what support a patient needs, when they need it, and how it should be delivered so it actually changes behaviour, safely. Most of our work is that layer, not the chatbot itself.

Do you build AI systems, or only advise?+

Both. We work from strategy through to hands-on design, delivery, and evaluation of AI systems, often as an extension of your team.

Who do you work with?+

Digital health, GLP-1 and obesity, and behaviour-change teams building or deploying patient-facing AI. All of our current client work is in GLP-1 and weight management.

How do you improve GLP-1 adherence and retention?+

GLP-1 medicines work only while patients stay on them, and most stop within the first year, mostly for behavioural reasons. We design the behavioural layer, the onboarding, timing, tone, nudges, and support, that keeps patients engaged and progressing, and we evaluate what actually moves adherence, persistence, and long-term maintenance.

Can you evaluate an AI system we have already built?+

Yes. We run independent behavioural and clinical evaluation, including PromptSafe simulation testing, to find safety, quality, and behavioural gaps before or after launch.

What is PromptSafe?+

PromptSafe is our AI safety and quality testing tool. It runs offline simulation testing of conversational AI agents across hundreds of realistic and adversarial conversations to find where they fail users before real users do.

What is the FAST framework?+

FAST is our published framework (Frontiers in Digital Health, 2025) for evaluating conversational AI health coaches across four domains: fidelity, accuracy, safety, and tone.

Do you carry out research and generate evidence?+

Yes. We design and run clinical and behavioural research, from study design to peer-reviewed publication, to build credible evidence of effectiveness, safety, and impact.

What does an engagement look like?+

Engagements are scoped to your goals, from a focused strategy sprint to longer delivery or research programmes. The best next step is usually a short discovery call to work out the simplest useful starting point.

What makes Sacher AI different?+

An unusual combination in one place: decades of clinical and behavioural science credibility, peer-reviewed research, and hands-on AI delivery and safety. And independence, because we own no platform we need to sell.

Is Sacher AI independent?+

Yes. We own no platform or app, so our advice is based on what works, not on what we have to sell.

Where are you based?+

We are a UK-based consultancy (Capital Consult Ltd, trading as Sacher AI), working with digital health teams internationally.

How do we get started?+

Book a short discovery call. We will work out whether there is a fit and recommend the simplest useful starting point.
