Quick progress update on therappai, the AI video-therapy platform I’m building to give people instant, evidence-based mental-health support in between real therapy sessions.
We’re pushing hard for a pre-Christmas launch, and for the first time it feels like the whole system is clicking into place.
✅ What we’ve just completed
Over the past few weeks we’ve finished the core foundation of the platform:
AI Chat Therapy — real-time text conversations powered by therapeutic NLP flows
AI Voice Sessions — natural, guided voice therapy
AI Video Therapist — our flagship feature, lifelike video-based sessions for presence and emotional connection
Crisis Buddy — AI risk indicators that detect moments of distress and automatically text a chosen buddy to reach out
CBT, DBT & Mindfulness Library — audio + text exercises for grounding, reframing, emotion regulation and daily practice
Signup/Login (Google & Apple) — full authentication pipeline is now live
🔄 What we’re completing now
Milestone badges that reward users for consistency and practice
Analytics so users can see progress, patterns and emotional trends over time
🧩 How it all works together
A big part of this build is making sure therappai isn’t “just another AI chatbot.”
It’s a holistic mental-wellbeing system designed to support users across multiple layers:
Instant therapy sessions anytime (chat, voice, or video)
Structured therapeutic exercises for daily mental fitness
Crisis-aware safety net via the Crisis Buddy
Reflection + insight through analytics
Motivation + habit-building through milestone badges
Together, these create continuous, accessible support between traditional therapy sessions—not replacing therapists, but extending and enhancing the care people already get.
🚀 What’s next
Finish polishing milestone badges + analytics
Onboard our first wave of early testers
Prep the pre-Christmas release
Excited to see this finally come alive.
