Mindlumen, the most capable AI therapist, is available on iOS!
Today, we are launching the MindLumen mobile app and you should try it out.
Today, we’re launching MindLumen's mobile app!🎉
Unlike many other apps, this isn't just another AI wrapper. From day one, we realized that an AI designed to act as a therapist would require its own fine-tuned model that could learn from you over time.
We needed an AI that could be conversational and supportive, capable of asking the right questions to lead to new insights rather than jumping to conclusions. We spent a lot of effort refining and tweaking it, working with respected psychologists to ensure its effectiveness. I continue to be blown away by the results.
Now that it's available as a mobile app, you'll have a companion to talk to about anything on your mind—whether through chat or voice. Plus, it gets way better over time. The longer you use it, the better it gets to know you and it can support you.
While some may find it strange or believe that people should only visit human therapists, AI therapy will become increasingly normalized. There are several reasons for this:
Shortage of human professionals: Many people face long waiting times before they can get help. AI therapists are available 24/7, whenever you need them.
Affordability: Human therapists can be costly, making them inaccessible for some. AI therapy is very affordable.
Overcoming barriers: For many, it is scary to take the first step of talking to a stranger about their problems. An AI doesn’t judge and is more approachable.
Will AI fully replace human therapists? No, it will not replace that human connection. But it does have its place, and it continues to improve. Many people find it beneficial to chat with an AI regularly about their thoughts and emotions.
For more serious mental health concerns, seeking help from a professional is crucial. Never solely rely on an AI. Our app and the AI itself will continue to remind you of that. However, for many, AI can serve as a valuable complement to human therapy.
Many people facing everyday challenges may not feel the need to see a human therapist. We all go through tough times. Nearly half of all people will encounter some form of mental well-being challenge in their lives, and one in four will experience it each year. An AI companion that listens, provides clarity, and encourages a healthy lifestyle and social connections can be quite helpful for many people.
While it may not be for everyone, it's already impacting many. I'm excited that, with the launch of the mobile app, support is now more accessible than ever!
