What is Abby?
Abby is an AI companion for talking through everyday emotional difficulties such as stress, relationships, big decisions and spiralling thoughts. The company calls it a thought companion and states plainly that it is neither a licensed therapist nor a medical service, and that it does not diagnose or treat. In conversation Abby keeps a memory of what a user has shared, links new messages to earlier ones, asks follow-up questions and sends check-ins. Users can shape its manner by choosing a persona, such as an empathetic friend, a structured professional or a tough coach, and by setting how long and how direct its replies are. Chat is available by text or voice in 88 languages on iOS, Android and the web. When someone wants clinical care, Abby offers free matching with a licensed human therapist from its network. An enterprise version is offered to companies, universities and healthcare systems.
