The free anonymous site, launched in mid-March, had more than 3,500 unique visitors by late April and was built as a non-AI alternative for teens.
It guides users through whether they may have violated consent, possible apologies and avoiding repeat harm, using prompts on freeze responses, alcohol-related consent laws and grounding exercises.
SafeBae says the tool responds to growing youth reliance on AI and online forums for sensitive relationship questions, amid concerns chatbots can be overly affirming and forums can be abusive or misogynistic.
Could Vibe Check's non-AI approach truly do what AI chatbots and online forums cannot—help teens take real accountability for harmful behavior?
As legislation grows to protect minors from AI harms, could community-built tools like Vibe Check become the new standard for digital youth education?
In response to a growing crisis in adolescent mental health and relationship challenges, SafeBAE launched the Vibe Check tool in mid-2025. This free, anonymous online resource offers youth a safe, non-punitive space to reflect on their behavior in relationships, shifting the burden of repair away from survivors. Designed with strict privacy and accessibility, Vibe Check stands apart from AI chatbots by fostering genuine accountability and connecting users to evidence-based education. Integrated into SafeBAE’s holistic prevention model, it complements peer education and school programs. With thousands benefiting and growing media attention, SafeBAE is focused on scaling Vibe Check while addressing ongoing challenges like rape culture and online harassment.
