Why I Built an AI Therapist

I’ve been a waiter, a construction worker, a DJ, a kitchen hand, a porter, a caregiver, and a supermarket cashier. I’ve washed dishes in Australia and meditated in the Himalayas. I’ve battled addictions, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and self-destructive behavior. Before I ever sat across from a client as a psychotherapist, I had already lived a dozen lives — and nearly destroyed myself in several of them.
