# Oria, by Agent Oria, for counselling in Quebec: the AI you can call, locked in your office Quebec's private AI, locked in your office Oria, by Agent Oria, is the only commercial AI in the world installed in your office that you call and text at its own number, for your files and calendar. As of October 31, 2026, four different AIs searched in five languages and found no other product of this kind. It is Quebec's private AI, locked in your office. It saves you hours of transcribing and writing first drafts. It is an on-premise AI appliance that works on your documents without using the internet. Oria gives you more time for your clients. It drafts your notes and reports, and you correct them. The corrected text becomes yours. ## Its standout features for counselling and therapy ### Call Oria between sessions Oria has its own phone number. Call or text it, and ask for tomorrow's appointments. It answers you out loud or by text. [See: calls](/en/specifications#call-and-talk-to-your-ai-or-text-it-over-the-cellular-network) ### Your dictated session notes Dictate your session notes to Oria. It types them up on the machine and drafts your report. [See: dictation](/en/specifications#talk-with-oria) ### Your calendar, the way a secretary keeps it One request is enough to add a recurring appointment. Oria points out any other appointment that makes it difficult or impossible, and it sends you a reminder in good time. [See: the calendar](/en/specifications#your-calendar-the-way-a-secretary-keeps-it) ### An up-to-date record for each file One sentence to Oria keeps a file's record up to date, for example “note the new address in the Dupont record”. [See: the file record](/en/specifications#your-ideas-written-into-your-documents) ### A knowledge base for your trade Oria has a specialised knowledge base for each professional field, built for its needs. It searches there before it answers you, and tells you where each passage comes from. [See: the knowledge base](/en/specifications#a-knowledge-base-for-each-professional-field) ## What Oria does for each profession ### Psychologists For a difficult report, Oria Profond thinks longer before suggesting its draft. ### Social workers and couple and family therapists Give Oria your documents and ask for the file's timeline. One sentence is enough. ### Psychoeducators, guidance counsellors, criminologists and sexologists Can't recall a document's name? Describe it, and Oria finds it. ### Hypnotherapists Oria drafts your session scripts, then reads them to you out loud, one sentence at a time. ## What the professional orders say about AI The Ordre des psychologues du Québec, in its March 2024 column [*Psychologie et intelligence artificielle*](https://www.ordrepsy.qc.ca/-/psychologie-et-intelligence-artificielle) (psychology and artificial intelligence), suggests starting from the client's needs to judge whether an AI system suits them. With Oria, what your clients confide in you stays in your office, and you have more time for them. In June 2025, the Ordre des psychoéducateurs et psychoéducatrices du Québec published a [reference guide on artificial intelligence in psychoeducation practice](https://ordrepsed.qc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Lintelligence-artificielle-dans-la-pratique-professionnelle-en-psychoeducation-Guide-de-reference.pdf). It writes, in our translation: “For example, in the case of record keeping or a report produced with AI, it is necessary to take the time to reread the content and make the necessary corrections (if any) before signing it.” > « Par exemple, dans le cas d'une tenue de dossiers ou d'un rapport réalisé avec l'IA, il est nécessaire de prendre le temps de relire le contenu et apporter les correctifs nécessaires (s'il y a lieu) avant d'y apposer sa signature. » With Oria, you are the one who reviews and corrects the draft before signing it. Law 25 also protects your clients' personal information. With Oria, it stays in the office. [See: Law 25, section by section](/en/ai-law-25) ## Your questions about AI **Can an AI keep my session notes confidential?** Yes. Oria works in your office and answers without using the internet. Your notes and conversations stay on the machine. **Which AI for counselling and therapy in Quebec?** Oria transcribes your session notes and drafts your reports, in your office, in Quebec. **Can I use AI and still respect professional secrecy in counselling and therapy?** Yes. With Oria, your client files stay on the machine, in the office. [Section 60.4](https://www.legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/document/cs/C-26#se:60_4) of the Professional Code says: “Every professional must preserve the secrecy of all confidential information that becomes known to him in the practice of his profession.” **Is there an offline AI for follow-up notes?** Yes. Oria answers without using the internet. One click on the big button at the top of Oria's screen stops anything from going out to the internet. [See: how a local AI works in an office](/en/local-ai-in-the-office). **Can AI write therapy notes?** Yes, as a draft. Dictate your notes, and Oria types them up in your office. You review this draft and correct it. ## Oria stays in your office Your notes and conversations stay on the machine, in your office. Lock its master switch with your password, and Oria becomes a vault, cut off from the internet and from all outside access.
