Artificial intelligence that helps you live well in the real world

An AI therapist?

psAico is more than a chat. It is a digital service built on AI and trained by psychologists and cognitive behavioural psychotherapists. It is not therapy and it does not replace a therapist. Try it free1 for 20 minutes and see what it can do.

Grounded in science

The best of artificial intelligence and the best of science, working together for you. psAico is trained to support you using the techniques and strategies of the cognitive behavioural approach. We drew on a large body of research, and we keep investing in research and development for our AI assistant for psychological wellbeing.

Tracking

psAico is an artificial intelligence you can talk to by chat, and it is also a way to keep track of how you are doing: a few focused questions guide you through self-monitoring, which can help you notice your moods more clearly.

Practical strategies

Restlessness, worry, sadness or low mood, difficulties in relationships, in parenting or with your partner, stress at work, an exam or a job interview coming up: psAico can support you with artificial intelligence built on cognitive behavioural therapy.

ADHD and other conditions

psAico can help you organise your days if you struggle with attention, impulsiveness or putting things off, and it can be useful if you live with specific learning difficulties, ADHD or autism. psAico is a support service. It does not replace health professionals, but it can be genuinely useful: give it a try.

psAico is built on ChatGPT and designed by a team of psychologists and psychotherapists. It helps you when you need it: it listens, it replies, it stays with you. It is more than a chatbot, and different from a self-help book.

It guides you with techniques and strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy: a simple, evidence-based approach.

It will not feed a habit and it will not simply agree with you, so it is not the usual general-purpose AI experience. psAico is your AI assistant for psychological wellbeing: it follows what you say and gives you something to work with.

Dr Michele Facci, founder of psAico

“More and more people turn to artificial intelligence, ChatGPT included, looking for psychological help. Yet many of these tools can produce answers that are inappropriate, misleading or even risky. In some cases they simply go along with the person, feeding dependence and taking the place of a real relationship.

That is why we created psAico: a digital service built on artificial intelligence but developed by psychologists, with self-monitoring, psychoeducation and self-help techniques, clear limits and safeguards for the person using it. It is made to bring people closer to mental health support in a safer, more ethical and more thoughtful way than a general purpose AI. An intelligent use of artificial intelligence: to help people live better, in the real world.”

Artificial intelligence, used responsibly

psAico does not diagnose, it does not replace therapy and it does not want to become a virtual friend: it is a support tool, capped at four hours every seven days, made so that you feel better out there. In the real world.
