Hi Product Hunt! 👋 With the election happening today, many of us are feeling stress, anxiety, hope, or uncertainty. I hope each of you has the support you need during this time, but for those who could use a little more, I’m excited to introduce TherapyAI. ⭐ What is TherapyAI? TherapyAI is an AI-powered talk therapist that provides personalized guidance, new perspectives, and steps to manage stress & anxiety. 🖼️ Background story The first time I tried using ChatGPT as my own AI therapist, I asked it to do for me what I do for my clients. Within five minutes, I was sitting in a coffee shop, trying to hide the fact that an AI had just made me cry—the good kind of tears. It was a powerful moment, and I knew this was a product I had to build. TherapyAI is built for those times when life feels too overwhelming—like election day! Whether you’re new to therapy or just want a place to vent, TherapyAI is here for you. 🧩 Key Features -Instant support, no scheduling needed. Just open the app anytime and start talking -Personalized memory so you can pick up right where you left off -Guidance, relief, and new perspectives for every challenge -Scheduled check-ins to help you manage stress around key moments (like today!) We’re not here to replace therapists but to add that extra layer of support that’s always there when you need it. So try it out, let us know what you think, and help us make TherapyAI even better. 🚀 👉 Try TherapyAI Now: trytherapy.ai/election2024 📣 We'd love to hear from you! Feedback: Please share thoughts, ideas, requests, issues, etc. Spread the Word: If you find TherapyAI helpful, please share it with friends and family. Connect with Us: Feel free to ask questions in the comments below. Thank you all for joining us on this journey—I’m excited to see where it takes us! Thomas Thanks for the support @rajiv_ayyangar @gabe @chrismessina!

Incredible concept! How does TherapyAI ensure personalized guidance for users, and what kind of stress management techniques does it offer? Excited to see how this can help so many during challenging times!

@allen_xu1130 Great question, and thanks for the upvote! Essentially, every time you send a message, TherapyAI designs a system prompt that is customized to you and your current conversation; by the time you're having your second conversation, virtually every single response you receive is generated by a custom prompt that has never been used before. Happy to answer any followups and get more technical if you want! :)

@allen_xu1130 Hi Allen – TherapyAI offers stress management techniques like cognitive reframing, mindfulness meditation, and deep breathing exercises. These techniques can help manage stress effectively in the moment. But what TherapyAI is best at is asking questions to look beyond just the surface-level symptoms. It tries to find the root causes of each user’s unique problems, allowing it to provide more personalized guidance. By focusing on the underlying issues, we aim to create long-lasting solutions for each user. Thanks for your support!

@fullcontextgtm Thanks so much! We really felt like we couldn't hold back on the latest updates any longer when there's such a need right now :)

This is interesting! How does TherapyAI tailor its responses to help with election-related stress? Does it offer any specific techniques or exercises for managing anxiety around current events?
Thomas Melching

@evelyn_kumsah TherapyAI offers stress management techniques like cognitive reframing, mindfulness meditation, and deep breathing exercises. However, what TherapyAI is especially designed for is looking beyond surface-level symptoms. Most people who feel stressed about the election experience similar issues: uncertainty about the future, not feeling heard, feeling out of control, etc. But the underlying reasons for these feelings are unique to each individual, shaped by their life experiences. TherapyAI asks questions to understand why you feel uncertain about the future, why you may feel unheard, or why you’re afraid of losing control. Based on this understanding, it provides personalized guidance. Our goal is to create lasting change for our users. Thank you for your support!

Wow, TherapyAI couldn't have launched at a better time! 😅 As someone who's been doom-scrolling election news all day, I could definitely use a mental health boost. The idea of instant, personalized support without scheduling is super appealing - especially for those 3 AM anxiety spirals. I'm curious though, how does it handle more complex or sensitive issues? Either way, it's great to see tech being used to make mental health support more accessible. Might give it a try tonight after the polls close. Thanks for sharing your personal story too, Thomas - it really adds a human touch to the AI concept!

@_ivan1 Thanks Ivan! TherapyAI has memory, so it can use context from past conversations to help with more complex problems. This is something we're constantly improving and over time it will be able to help with more and more long-term problems. For now we're focusing on making TherapyAI great at dealing with stress & anxiety, and eventually it'll be able to help with more sensitive issues.

@artem_vysotsky Thanks Artem! Honestly, the Product Hunt election is the election that really matters.

Hey there! 👋 Just saw TherapyAI launched on Product Hunt and it looks amazing! 🎉 This sounds like a game-changer for managing election stress. 🗳️💨 How has TherapyAI helped you so far? Can't wait to hear your experiences!

@ihuzaifashoukat honestly it's helped me in a lot of ways. Re: election specifically, it's helped me filter out things I worry about where I have no control. It has also helped me identify more things I have control over than I would expect (e.g. "Why are you worried about if X wins the election? What are the outcomes that concern you there, and what are things you can do to exert more control in those situations?" In general, it's helped me find the human side of people I disagree with and common ground with them. It's helped me when I'm stressed about making decisions. Helped me plan and take action to overcome irrational fears that hold me back. My son has had conversations with it when he's stressed about things and it was amazing to see his stress lifted as well. Honestly that's probably my favorite moment. There are also some new features we're prototyping that I'm really excited to share with you as well that I think can be mental health and relationship gamechangers, but you'll need to follow us for those updates later though :)

This is fantastic! There are not enough therapists in the world and more people can benefit from therapy than are getting it. Especially for an event where lots of people feel anxiety, being able to scale up quickly is amazing.

@hannah_golden Not yet, but finding a way to combine AI therapy and human therapy is something we'd love to do in the future. If you have any specific ways you'd want our app to do this, please let us know!
