Case Study
Tested where trust matters.
As part of an innovation collaboration with the Veterans Health Administration Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning, part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), more than 1,000 Veterans tried Sidekick Platform inside one of the most complex benefits systems in the country, and the feedback was clear.
In post-pilot feedback, participating Veterans reported:
92.5%
would recommend Sidekick to a fellow Veteran
85.1%
felt better able to identify available VA resources
80.5%
felt they had better access to VA resources and staff
Built for moments when Veterans need clear answers fast. The same architecture powers every Sidekick Platform channel.
Sidekick Platform is available on the VA Mobile App Store. Scan the code or tap below.
This pilot was conducted under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. No VA endorsement of Sidekick Wellness Inc. or its products or services is intended or implied.
Why Now
AI is changing how people discover information.
Many AI platforms want your audience. Some absorb your content, answer in their own voice, and keep the relationship for themselves. Sidekick works differently.
What you keep with Sidekick:
Your content stays yours. Sidekick is designed to answer only from the content you approve, not the open web, so your expertise isn’t blended with someone else’s. Answers link back to your sources so they can be checked.
Your audience stays yours. Your channel, your brand, your subscriber relationship. Subscribers pay you through your own platforms, and Sidekick doesn’t take a share of that revenue.
Your voice stays yours. Responses are grounded in your actual work, not a generic AI version of your ideas.
Your monetization stays yours. Package access to your channel as part of your business. Charge for it, gate it, or offer it free. You decide.
Your institutional knowledge finally works for you. Hospitals, universities, government agencies, and enterprises already own the content. Sidekick makes it conversational, navigable, and useful at scale.
Your data stays yours. Your private content isn’t used to train shared AI models without your authorization.
The audiences have already shifted. People ask, converse, and expect immediate answers. The question is whether they get those answers from you, or from a platform that replaced you with an approximation of your work.
The window to define how your knowledge is discovered, trusted, and experienced is open now.
For your channel’s first month, Sidekick covers everyone: every user of every type, administrators included.
When it ends, the channel owner must set up a payment method, or the channel is frozen.
