An AI therapist,
available right now.

A general-purpose assistant has to be safe across every subject at once, so on therapy topics it defaults to hedging - and OpenAI has been progressively narrowing what it will say about professional matters at all. The result is technically correct and practically useless: "you may want to consult a professional" is not an answer.

A specialist configured for one field can name the rule, the deadline and the number, and state its own limits rather than refusing outright.

For everyday difficulty and structured exercises, yes. For a crisis, no - and a well-built tool will say so rather than trying to help.

Anything involving self-harm gets one response: contact a crisis line. In the US that is 988, free and available around the clock. Outside the US, findahelpline.com lists local numbers.

Because there have been documented cases of general chatbots making things worse for people in crisis, and the industry tightened substantially in response. That tightening is correct.

The cost is that it also deflects people who are not in crisis and wanted to think something through. That middle ground is real and it is what structured self-help tools are for.

No. Diagnosis requires clinical assessment by someone licensed, and a confident answer either way from software would be actively harmful - false reassurance or unwarranted alarm.

What it can do is help you articulate what you are experiencing clearly enough to take to someone who can assess it.

Ask practices directly about sliding scales - many have them and do not advertise them. Check whether your employer has an assistance programme, which usually covers several free sessions. Community mental health centres and training clinics charge substantially less.

Group programmes are cheaper, faster to access, and better evidenced than their reputation suggests.

No, and it is important to be clear about that. It has no clinical training, cannot diagnose, cannot treat and does not know you.

What it does is the structured work between sessions - thought records, preparation, noticing patterns - and it fills the gap while you are on a waiting list. Alongside therapy, not instead of it.

For everyday difficulty, yes. For a crisis, no - and it will say so rather than trying to help.

Anything involving self-harm gets one response: contact a crisis line. In the US that is 988, free and available around the clock. Outside the US, findahelpline.com lists local numbers.

Encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train models, never shared, deletable at any point.

It is not a licensed provider, so there is no therapist-patient privilege - a legal distinction worth understanding before sharing anything you would want protected in a proceeding.

No. Diagnosis requires clinical assessment by a licensed professional, and a confident answer from software would be actively harmful in either direction.

It will explain what those conditions describe and help you articulate what you are experiencing clearly enough to take to someone who can assess it.

A structured CBT exercise: write the situation, the automatic thought, the evidence for and against, and a balanced alternative. It is one of the most-studied techniques in cognitive behavioural therapy.

It works because it turns a fog into a claim you can examine. Doing it with something that asks the next question is meaningfully easier than doing it on a blank page.

Start a record. Note what happens, when, and what you notice - a few lines is enough. By the time the appointment arrives you have weeks of data instead of a vague memory, and the first session starts several steps further along.

If things worsen while you wait, call your provider and say so. Waiting lists move for deterioration.

No, and Copilotly will not claim it can. Copilotly's Wellness & Mental Health Copilots provide general wellness information and support techniques for educational purposes. They are not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, therapy, or counseling. If you are in crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) or the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741). Always work with a licensed mental health professional for diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions.

What it does do is give you information, drafts and preparation - so you either arrive at a professional consultation already informed, or you handle the many situations where you were never going to book one at all.

Not a therapist. This is wellness information, not a substitute for professional mental health care.

We say this on every page rather than in a footer, because it is the actual protection - for you and for us. Companies in this category have been fined for implying otherwise.

A general-purpose assistant has to stay safe across every subject at once, so on wellness & lifestyle questions it hedges. The Wellness & Lifestyle Copilot is configured for this field alone - its own system prompt, model and parameters - which is the difference between "you may want to check your local rules" and a named rule, a deadline and a draft you can send.

OpenAI has also been narrowing what ChatGPT will say about professional matters, which is precisely the gap these copilots exist to fill.

Stress, anxiety, relationships and work-life balance - with the limits stated plainly.

There are 8 specialist copilots inside this domain, each tuned to a narrower job, so you are not asking one generalist to cover everything.

The free plan gives you three copilots of your choice, 50 messages a day and the browser extension, with no card required. Pro starts at $4.99/week and unlocks all 131 copilots across all 20 domains, with unlimited messages, document upload and the mobile apps. Annual works out at $24.17/month.

There is a 3-day free trial and a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not use your data to train models and we do not share it with third parties. Given how much of what people bring to a therapist is sensitive, that is a requirement rather than a feature.

It can. Treat any answer as a well-informed starting point rather than a verified conclusion, particularly where money, health or a deadline is involved. You can rate any response, which feeds back into how copilots are tuned.

For consequential decisions, use it to understand the situation and prepare your questions, then confirm with a qualified professional.

No. Pro includes every copilot in every domain, with no per-domain upsell - which is the whole point. Problems rarely stay in one lane: a wellness & lifestyle question usually has a financial consequence, and that is one click away rather than another subscription.
