My Products

“Grace: A multilingual AI + therapist platform guiding users through a complete mental health journey.”

The main feature

Grace blends AI-powered diagnosis with real therapist connections, supporting multiple languages (Arabic, English, German first) in one secure app.

How it works

Users start with a guided AI diagnosis, move to an AI-assisted interview, then choose a therapist based on preferences (language, gender, specialisation). They continue with personalised training and progress tracking — all inside the app.
