Hi Friend is a simple application that helps you navigate your emotions and feel more connected. Through conversations with Cotton, you will create journals and reach a wider community of Hi Friend users.
Yes, Cotton is powered by AI, but it doesn't seek to replace human relationships. Like a therapy dog, it acts as a listener and a messenger between you and other Hi Friend users. When Cotton detects potential self-harm or harming others, it will connect you to helplines.
1 in 7 Australians suffers from social isolation and 3 in 7 Australians has experienced at least one mental disorder. We, the engineers of Humane AI, believe that AI can make mental healthcare more accessible to the public. We don't seek to replace counselors and psychiatrists, instead, we seek to apply cognitive therapy techniques through conversations to prevent mental health illnesses.
This app aims to be completely free. We plan to raise funds through donations and in-app cosmetics.
