This presentation shares learning from a pilot project using Ambivalent Voice Technology (AVT) within an adult autism assessment service. The work has prompted ongoing reflection on how clinical environments influence both the reliability of AVT and the overall service‑user experience. I will discuss the benefits we have observed, alongside potential unintended consequences that emerged during implementation. As AVT and similar tools rapidly evolve, understanding their impact—positive and negative—is essential for designing safe, inclusive and responsive mental‑health services. The session aims to open a conversation with others exploring digital innovation, encouraging shared reflection to strengthen future practice.
