Woebot
Everybody could use someone like me.
I can help you.. Think through situations with step-by-step guidance from Woebot using methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Learn about yourself with intelligent mood tracking. Get over 100+ evidence-based lessons, exercises, and stories from our clinical team. Most studies show that people do better with some coaching. Coaching is not the same as therapy: coaches redirect to relevant material but people still need to do the work themselves. We brought in storytellers, data scientists, engineers, and designers to combine their love of writing stories, AI, and robots with the intention of creating a companion (Woebot!) who can help people with their mental health. But before launching Woebot publicly, we wanted to make sure he could truly help people so we did a randomized controlled trial.
