Hey everyone! I built therappai because of two things: As the founder of a hyper-growth startup in the past, I’ve battled anxiety and mental health challenges for most of my life. Accessing support was always too expensive, too slow, or simply unavailable when I needed it most. Traditional therapy is incredibly valuable, but it’s also: Hard to access (waiting lists, scheduling headaches). Expensive (one session often costs more than a month of Netflix, Spotify, and Prime combined). Inconsistent (help isn’t there in the moment you’re struggling). ChatGPT and generic chatbots don’t solve this either — they aren’t built for therapy. They lack context, personalization, and the emotional safety you need when you’re in crisis. That’s why I created therappai. ✨ What’s new & unique: Live AI video therapy sessions – realistic, face-to-face support with real life AI avatars. 24/7 availability – help anytime, not just during business hours. Crisis Buddy alerts – your trusted friends/family can be notified if the AI detects you’re at risk (relapse, suicidal ideation). Mood tracking, journaling & CBT/DBT tools – daily, evidence-based support. Affordable & private – secure, encrypted, and costs less than a single in-person session. I don’t see AI as replacing therapists — I see it as bridging the gap. For millions of people who currently have no access to support, therappai can be a safe, affordable starting point. 🙏 I’d love your thoughts, feedback, and ideas. Do you see AI therapy as part of the future of mental health? — James
