Abby

Abby is an AI thought companion designed to help with everyday emotional challenges, life stress, and problems that show up in daily life. You can start a chat instantly and keep talking as much as you want—no appointments required.

Abby supports multiple therapy-informed approaches and helps with common struggles like loneliness, relationship conflicts, bullying, work-life balance, procrastination, and low self-esteem. You can also tailor the way Abby responds, choosing different “how she is” styles (such as mindfulness, problem-solver, tough coach, or philosophical guide), along with check-in preferences and response depth.

A key part of Abby’s experience is continuity: it remembers your story and can connect what you say in the moment to what you’ve shared earlier, helping surface patterns and the “thing underneath the messy thing.” Abby is available in many languages and can follow you even if you switch mid-sentence.

When you want a licensed therapist, Abby uses your conversations to match you with a therapist who fits. Therapist matching is offered for free. Abby also routes people to appropriate crisis support if they’re in danger.

Note: Abby is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist and isn’t for diagnosis or clinical care.
