Welcome to Vegan Rise One!

Early Access for VR1 Empowered Advocacy Training

+ VR1AI Assistant

Welcome to the VR1 Early Access Experience

Thank you for visiting this private preview site. This page was created for early supporters and invited collaborators to explore the first look at Vegan Rise One — where psychology and technology unite to empower more effective, research-driven advocacy.

Over the coming months, this page will grow into a full launch platform featuring the first VR1 training modules and the VR1AI Assistant.

This brief introduction shares the vision and origin of Vegan Rise One — and how empowered storytelling, advocacy training, and AI collaboration can accelerate change.

VR1 Beta Launch: Coming January, 2026!

Both the VR1AI Assistant build and the first VR1 training modules are well underway. The upcoming beta release will feature a fully functional AI assistant infused with a knowledge base in media psychology, persuasion science, and storytelling for social change.

You’ll be able to use VR1AI to evaluate and offer feedback on your existing advocacy content — or to create and co-create new messaging directly with the assistant. Early development already supports written content, and future versions will expand to image and video analysis.

The beta will also include 18 interactive video lessons — six lesson sets with three short lessons each — complete with quick “Make It Real” practice assignments and deeper-dive links for those who want to explore the science behind each concept. A second content release will follow, adding 16 more lessons to build even deeper understanding.

With each lesson, you’ll become a more confident, effective media communicator — and VR1AI will reinforce that training every step of the way. Together, they form a learning loop designed to help you grow, create, and lead change more powerfully than ever before.

Early Feedback from the Field

During early testing, the first prototype of VR1AI was used to evaluate a completed campaign letter from the Animal Justice Project. Although the content was already finalized and could not be revised, the feedback it produced offered valuable insight into how the system interprets and analyzes advocacy messaging. Here’s what their campaigner had to say:

“I found the feedback from your AI prototype incredibly useful — both in terms of the specific points it raised and the overall insight into how the system is interpreting content. It’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into this, and I can absolutely see the potential for it to become a powerful tool for campaign and communications work.

I’d definitely be happy to test the more advanced version when it’s ready. It’s exciting to hear that there’s more development to come.

Looking forward to hearing more in due course — and thanks again for the opportunity to be involved.”

—Dr. Sean Barrs, Campaigner, Animal Justice Project
