Sonia: AI Wellbeing Coach

Sonia is an AI built specifically for mental health and emotional support. Whether you need support for stress, anxiety, relationships, family problems, motivation, or a bad day, Sonia gives you a private, zero-judgment space to talk freely. Speak by voice or write by text whenever it feels right.

Sonia is designed for long-term personal growth, motivation, and healthier habits. It remembers what you share, recognizes patterns over time, and helps turn reflection into insight, next steps, and a personalized support plan. The more you talk with Sonia, the more it understands your story, goals, habits, and the kind of support that helps you move forward.

How is Sonia built?

Most AI chatbots were built for general conversation. Sonia was built specifically for mental wellbeing, self-help, and emotional support. Our proprietary AI is trained and optimized with expert-guided feedback, cognitive-behavioral principles, evidence-based reflection, mindfulness, and human psychology in mind, so it can help you reflect, process, and build healthier coping strategies.

The team behind Sonia

Sonia is designed with licensed therapists, mental health leaders, coaches, researchers, and engineers from Stanford, MIT, ETH and beyond. Our team brings psychology, safety research, and AI engineering into a private support experience you can use anytime. We are on a mission to make personalized, high-quality support available to all of us.
