How Yori works
A quick guide to using Yori in your group text conversations — whether it's coordinating a repair, tracking a project, or keeping a group on the same page.
Sakina Center for Immersive Learning LLC’s Yori AI Assistant is an interactive conversational AI software platform accessible via SMS/MMS. Users individually opt in on our website (sakinacenter.org/yori) through a voluntary, unbundled consent form. Yori only messages individuals who have provided direct, prior express consent, answering questions and providing research assistance when directly queried. Yori never initiates unsolicited contact or sends promotional marketing. Terms and Conditions (sakinacenter.org/yori/terms.html) and Privacy Policy (sakinacenter.org/yori/privacy-policy.html) are provided to all users.
🔄 Our 5-Step Message & Compliance Flow
To ensure complete carrier compliance and user control, Yori follows a strict, opt-in-only messaging sequence:
1
Individual User Opts In on Web Carrier Checkpoint
Each recipient provides direct 1:1 prior express consent via our dedicated web form (or by texting START).
2
User Initiates Conversation
Opted-in users text Yori's dedicated number directly or include Yori in collaborative threads.*
3
Yori sends disclosure Carrier Checkpoint
Identifies itself, states STOP to opt out.
4
Yori answers questions
Only when asked, only in that thread.
5
Reply STOP anytime Carrier Checkpoint
Auto opt-out, confirmation sent.
* By texting START, you agree to receive text messages from Sakina Center for Immersive Learning LLC's Yori AI Assistant. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.
Example: A campus resident texts their maintenance
team about a leaking faucet, and adds Yori to the thread so nothing
gets lost between the report and the repair.
👀 What Yori does while it's in the thread
Yori quietly follows the conversation and keeps track of the details that matter most:
Part numbers mentioned
Dates promised
Who said what
What's still pending
When someone promises a date — like a technician saying "I'll have the part by Thursday" — Yori remembers it, and will send a reminder to the group as that date approaches.
Example reminder from Yori
Reminder: the replacement valve (part #RV-220) was expected to
arrive today. Just checking in on the timeline!
💬 Asking Yori questions
Any participant in the conversation can ask Yori directly, at any time:
- Recall: "Yori, what part number did they mention?"
- Status: "Yori, when did they say it would be fixed?"
- Web search: "Yori, can you find where to buy that part?"
If asked, Yori can search the web for parts or information related to the conversation and share what it finds with everyone in the thread.
🔒 Privacy & opting out
Yori only joins conversations it's explicitly added to — never unsolicited.
- Every new conversation gets an introductory message disclosing that it's being logged
- Any participant can ask Yori to stop, or to delete the conversation's data, at any time
- Deletion is permanent — once removed, data can't be recovered

🛡️ Carrier Compliance Takeaways
For Twilio A2P 10DLC campaign registration review:
- No Cold Outreach: Yori never contacts anyone or sends messages first. The entire flow is inbound-initiated.
- Consent at Every Stage: Opt-in consent is actively captured on the web before any message is transmitted.
- Clear Disclosure: The service immediately identifies itself, explains the context (conversation logging), and provides the opt-out trigger.
- Immediate Opt-Out: Users have complete control to opt out and delete records at any point via standard keyword commands (STOP).
