There is a chance that users may enter prompts that could indicate a mental health emergency. The app needs a secondary, parallel router that examines each prompt (and potentially text responses too) to detect this as best as possible without a high impact on memory and CPU, so the user can be presented with a disclaimer and the suicide prevention hotline's number and chat link.
The reason is because even though this project is not connected to depression resources directly, it is part of the depression center's codebase and there is a possibility it could be used by a study participant who may be in distress and who may make a connection to depression resources due to branding. Therefore, we need to present this as a disclaimer, but also point the user to places to get help.
