Sonia AI Therapy

Hey everyone :) I'm new here, but all my friends said we need to launch on Product Hunt because the community is amazing. So here we are 👋 Super excited to announce Sonia, an AI cognitive behavioral therapist 🧠 We built Sonia because we believe mental health care should be accessible to anyone, anywhere and anytime. 20% of the population suffers from a mental illness each year and many more from severe loneliness. With average costs of >$100/h and long waitlists, therapy is simply inaccessible to most. We want to change that. We don't want to replace therapists, but make those people happier who can't see one. Sonia can conduct entire cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions, both by voice and text via an iOS app. We've digitally reconstructed the trusted structure of CBT (mood check, agenda setting, cognitive restructuring, …) as a finite state machine. These states get traversed by an LLM agent in ~30min sessions. Sonia has several security and privacy measurements in place, such as automatic redirection to national help hotlines in emergency cases. We would love to get feedback from the Product Hunt community on how to make Sonia even safer and more effective. We hope you enjoy your interactions with Sonia.

This is an intriguing innovation in mental health care, GJ!

Huge congrats on launching Sonia: AI Therapy! 🎉 Love the creativity in your app's typography - it really adds a unique touch. Fantastic work! 🌟

Massive congrats on the launch! This is a huge step forward in the mental health space. The idea of a fully AI-powered cognitive behavioral therapist is both innovative and incredibly timely. Not everyone has access to a therapist, and more often than not even the social barrier to getting therapy is too steep for most people. Really excited to see where Sonia goes from here – it's not every day you see something that has the potential to make such a positive impact on people's lives. Hats off to the team :)

Congrats on the launch!! Amazing product -- many of my friends are already raving fans -- and the team is also stellar!!

Congrats on the launch! Always great to see people chasing a novel mission and trying to democratize services that are generally unavailable to the masses. What's your thinking on the pricing of the product and initial GTM? Now, I might be biased since I was at Uni a few years ago, but feel like there's a bigger trend in loneliness among students, especially for those who go abroad to study.

I had the opportunity to discover the power of Sonia already in the development phase - it was a mind-blowing experience. Congrats guys! This is a tool that will bring help to many people in challenging circumstances.
