Sonia is a fully AI-powered cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT). Think of a standard conversational therapy session, but talking to an empathic voice on your phone instead of to a human in their clinic.
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.
Congratulations to the maker for innovating with Sonia, the AI-powered cognitive behavioral therapist. This tool brings therapy into the digital age, offering empathic, conversational sessions anytime, anywhere. It's a groundbreaking step in making mental health support more accessible and convenient.
love the landing page design. Is it only available on Apple store only?
you guys should definitely submit to AI directories: https://shorturl.at/hmsBR
Congratulations to the makers of Sonia @chrisaeberli for revolutionizing mental health care with an innovative AI-driven cognitive behavioral therapist.
I think Sonia could be even more effective if she could integrate virtual reality technology to create immersive, interactive therapy sessions. Just a thought!
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.
How does Sonia's empathic voice compare to a human therapist's ability to understand and empathize with their patients?
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.
Wow! This product is amazing! We really need more apps like this in today's world, and I just love it! Keep up the good work and thank you for creating such an awesome product!
I really like the style and the idea! Really awesome product! congrats on the launch! 🚀
@chrisaeberli , what an incredible product you have created - Sonia: AI Therapy, empowering people to access mental health support every day. This is such a meaningful innovation and it is going to make a positive change in people's lives.
