Eliza: AI for mental health

Dificult to use with the tap to speak, tap to send. Abrupt ending of sessions. No real apparent empathy in the conversations. I’d say not ready for prime time.

I’ve been using another mental health support app for 9 months and find it extremely helpful, but at 73 and on a fixed income the $120/yr subscription is a bit too rich for my blood. Came across Eliza tonight and thought I’d try it. Had an opening conversation where she asked good questions to get to know me. Went back twice more and she brought our previous conversations into the current session, which I appreciate. I believe this app will be a helpful support between my in-person therapy sessions. One feature I’d love to see in future updates are the dated transcripts of all previous conversations. This would be very helpful. Also, I’m curious if this app is going to remain free, and if not what the subscription rate might be.
