Hello to the whole Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm Tim, the founder of Wellness AI, and after over a year of development and 8 months of intensive testing, I'm thrilled to share our innovative mental wellness app with you today.
💡 Why I built this:
Traditional therapy is expensive, hard to schedule, and often inconvenient. With years of experience in both psychology and AI, I saw an opportunity to reimagine mental health support for the modern world. I believe the future of mental healthcare will be fundamentally different: affordable and accessible to everyone, available the moment you need it, and capable of supporting you in a personalized way across multiple modalities. That's why I created wellness AI, a single app that provides integrated mental health support across both therapy and meditation.
🎯 What makes Wellness AI unique:
- A first-of-its-kind AI meditation system that creates guided meditations on the fly based on everything that the app has learned about your unique journey and preferences
- Context-aware AI therapy that remembers your story and grows with you across sessions
- Seamless integration that lets you end any conversation with a guided meditation reflecting on your insights
- Complete privacy with all your data remaining securely on your device
🌟 Some ways our users are finding value:
- Getting support for work stress at 2 AM when they can't sleep
- Building on therapy insights through personalized meditations
- Requesting meditations unique to their life like "positive visualizations for my healthcare treatments" or "mindfulness for job interview anxiety"
- Developing ongoing practices for challenges like workplace stress or anxiety
Our goal is not to replace traditional therapy but to create something entirely new. And something that isn't just effective, but also engaging and enjoyable.
📱For early users, we're offering extended free trials on both iPhone and Android for a limited time.
Early feedback from our users has been extremely positive. But we're continuing to actively improve the app and add more features, and we welcome honest feedback and suggestions from the community. I'll be here to answer questions and discuss how we can make mental health support more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Or you can reach out to me through our website, www.wellness-ai.app!
Best,
Tim
I've used this app a couple weeks now actually. It's great, the meditation tech is really impressive--haven't seen anything else like that. Voices are so natural. And it does help me out, personally
@tommy31 Thanks for the kind words, so glad to hear that you're enjoying the app!
AI therapy is promising but how do you address privacy and data security?
@lucas_parsons Very good question. We don't store any private user conversation data ourselves: each users personal data is stored securely on their own device, and only processed ephemerally by our algorithms after being encrypted in transit.
AI can be incredibly beneficial but how do you ensure it doesn’t misinterpret serious mental health crises?
@logan_king The app uses additional algorithms on top of the LLM models to detect whether a user is in a mental health crisis. We've done extensive testing on these (it was interesting work to come up with a good spectrum of test cases and find thresholds that minimized false negative detections while not creating poor user-experience due to high false positive rates).
When a crisis is detected, users are directed to a list of appropriate resources on our website, such as international lists of various crisis hotlines.
Mental wellness should be accessible to everyone. What kind of real world impact or success stories have you observed from early users of Wellness AI?
@tabbunuru Feedback from both test users and new downloads on the app store has been extremely positive. E.g., one user who's going through a divorce has written in detail how much both the conversations and meditations have helped them throughout the process.
Great to see AI getting into wellness
