Description
Abby positions itself as an AI mental health companion and personal thought companion rather than a replacement for therapy, and the company says it has been used for more than 10 million conversations. The app is built to remember a user's ongoing story across sessions, connecting something said months ago to what comes up in a later conversation, and to check in proactively rather than waiting to be opened.

Users can shape how Abby responds: choosing a personality type such as Professional, Mindfulness Guru, Empathetic Friend, Problem-Solver, Tough Coach or Philosophical Guide, a response length from concise to deep-dive, a tone ranging from warm and nurturing to direct or blunt ('call me out'), and how often Abby checks in, daily or only when something seems to matter. Abby also speaks 88 languages and can follow a conversation that switches languages mid-sentence, using the same memory throughout.
The company says Abby's conversational process was designed with licensed therapists: between a user's message and Abby's reply, the system maps how much of the person's story it already knows, connects to relevant past memories, and looks for what's underneath the immediate issue before responding. Abby shows a version of this reasoning step to the user, rather than only returning a final reply, so the person can see how the response connects to what they've shared before. When a user is ready to talk to a person, Abby uses its record of the conversations to match them with a licensed therapist directly, instead of pointing them to a directory.
Abby is aimed at people who want ongoing, low-friction support for everyday stress, relationships and self-reflection, with a free tier to start chatting and text or voice input. The company positions Abby as a complement to therapy rather than a diagnosis or crisis service, and profiles licensed therapists across specialties, including couples counseling, trauma and anxiety, as part of its safety and quality framing.
