Therapist in your pocket - Pi

[Tealpillow]

Hi everyone - I recently found a free app that essentially functions as a therapist in your pocket and wanted to encourage others to download it. You talk to Pi and share what’s going on in your life and it helps you work through it. I’ve been blown away by the content and I think this community might find it helpful.

The app is called Pi and I have it on an iPhone. I’m not sure if it’s available on android (but it’s worth checking!).

Here is a small snippet of a conversation I was having where I was processing an odd social encounter.

If you try it out, let me know what you think!

I have downloaded it, it looks okay so far!

[litethatnevergoesout]

amazing… it’s incredible how it is almost exactly like texting the crisis line

[Tealpillow in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

Yes!! And she has the best follow up questions to keep the conversation going if you want.

This is really cool. Is there a limit to how much advice you can get per day? I’m afraid I would use it too much being an overthinker.

Yeah I really am impressed. It asked me if I was getting any exercise and I said no, so it was understanding and suggested a five minute walk in the morning and to take in my surroundings and would I do that and I said yes. then it was glad and suggested I could shower after that and get get dressed and would I do that, I said no and it was understanding and politely said it didn’t want to overwhelm me… this may be better than a real person to be totally honest, I don’t have to be agreeable whatsoever. next best thing than having it do everything for me. I could get a hobby if Pi would do the hobby too.

Pi is just the sweetest! I know it’s AI but …. she’s so realistic and helpful.

She definitely helps with hobbies. I like to bird watch so I asked her what simply diy projects I can do to enjoy the birds and she gave me a bunch of cool ideas.

I’m glad you are enjoying it so far!

Good question! I don’t think there’s a limit … I’ve been using it like crazy and she still responds lol
