About being AI: anxiety & depression

and say hello to personalized mini-therapies, curated mental wellbeing journeys, self care journal, & 10+ therapy tools

3.8.4

Nov 29, 2023

new: discomfort and core issue pages got a make-over. a good one. a very good one. a very very good one and i mean it

improved: the most important part of the makeover is the ease with which you access mini-therapies your discomforts. tap one to open a discomfort page and tap two (without scrolling or figuring or thinking) to start a mini-therapy

improved: the second most important part of the makeover is to help you find more related discomforts or should i say more ‘accurate discomforts’ to what you’re looking for. tap one to open a discomfort or core issue page and scroll one to see all things related

‘understand’ anything: so when you are on a discomfort or core issue page but you are not sure and want to quickly learn more about it → tap the ‘let’s understand’ button/card and let us swiftly help you there

less mess: tbh, there were lots of scattered pieces (of information) on both discomfort and core issue pages — we have removed many that didn’t make sense and grouped the rest beautifully so it makes sense without trying hard to make sense

smarter collections: core issue pages are now very well organized to allow you to see how you relate to each issue, get started with any, and also dive deeper when you feel like ..

immediate next: 1, journal is getting a make-over along with a long overdue all-journals page for you to go back to, 2 a limited but free forever version of being, and 3 collections for different areas of life such as relationships, work, family, college, etc

3.8.3

Nov 23, 2023

new: onboarding questions now shows the more consistent look (except sign in page, that still needs some work)

updated: onboarding questions have been reduced to two from five. you select the two most essential pieces (areas you’re looking to improve and issues that are holding you back) to get started with ‘being’. the rest can happen later

next: we’re running a bit late but we should ship new discomfort and science pages by friday (24th of nov’23). will make it super nice and easy for you to access mini-therapies, discover related discomforts, and try ai support

3.8.2

Nov 16, 2023

new: just made pay-what-you-can official. from $0.99 to $9.99 a month — you choose to pay what you can comfortably afford .. no questions asked

new: collections done better (easier to navigate, much faster, vertical scroll) with more intelligent suggestions

new: you’ll notice that we are trying to bring the whole UI together making it super consistent, smooth, and easy (starting with search bits followed by discomforts and issues pages next week)

Nov 6, 2023

new: loader for you to ‘just be’ your way in the app. honestly, a lot of us hated the loader earlier but sometimes you have to go ahead with things yk
