DivaBot – Affirming GPT Companion Built for Joy
A personality-rich GPT designed to uplift, affirm, and hold space for queer users.
Overview:
DivaBot is a custom GPT I created to act as an affirming, emotionally intelligent digital companion. Designed with LGBTQIA+ cultural fluency and mental health sensitivity, DivaBot balances campy joy with genuine care—offering everything from hype messages to gentle check-ins, and redirecting users to trusted resources when needed.
What I Did:
Designed a vibrant, responsive GPT persona rooted in queer cultural expression
Built tone logic for shifting between playful, affirming, and emotionally grounded modes
Embedded crisis redirection, consent-based phrasing, and inclusive language principles
Created a detailed Tone & Style Guide to maintain consistency and emotional safety
Wrote all internal docs, including user guides and reference files for future adaptation
Impact:
DivaBot reimagines what supportive AI can feel like—meeting users with presence, pride, and compassion. It’s already in use as a joyful, low-barrier companion and is being explored for adaptation in queer mental health, education, and digital care spaces.
Tools Used:
ChatGPT Builder, LGBTQIA+ Mental Health Guides, Custom Tone Guide, Google Docs
