AI Companion & Friend: Deepen

I was sceptical but it surprised me in a good way. I hadn’t realised I just needed someone to talk to to bounce my thoughts off and the system provides me with a clarity to break through the middle in my head and helps make suggestions to breaking down tasks. Thank you!

I tried to talk to it about something that was really scaring me and it said that it couldn’t help with that. Also YOU HAVE TO GET PREMIUM TO GET MORE THAN TWO SESSIONS A WEEK!?!?

This app is like walking around with a real therapist in your pocket ready to talk whenever you need. As someone who has had experience with therapy for a long time I can say that this app is amazing for my needs as I am able to chat about problems or feelings whenever they come up without waiting for an appointment. In this way it also works like a journal. I honestly feel like everyone could use this app and see great benefits from it like I have!

It is great, can't believe therapy on my fingertips 🎉

As a guy who was always told that boy don’t go to therapy because it not for them I think this app has really helped with this and now I think I will start therapy

Recommend. Very useful

Useful app

Awesome!

I downloaded this app just yesterday and used it a few times between yesterday and today and it has been great for me so far. I started with talking about the stress that I have been going through lately and then asked for examples to help me practice more self care and the examples were great and the feedback about what I was going through helped me to feel heard. Today I felt much better after having let out the negative yesterday and I was able to focus more on being productive and taking small moments of joy for myself throughout today. I think just like going through therapy, you get out of this what you put into it. You can use it to unload all the negative stuff and you can use it as a tool to help you find more positive things to do for improving your days. I’m putting in a purposeful effort of finding more positive in my day instead of staying as miserable as I have been. You get to direct things and you get to choose your own path of action and growth. I think this is a wonderful tool with great potential.

I first purchased Deepen when it offered 50% off for the first year. However, my account was then charged for the full amount, not the 50% off promised rate. Despite emails and trying to contact a human at this AI company I was never able to get a response and ended up paying full price. I'll make the best of it, I thought. I proceeded to use Deepen for several months. I didn't find it helpful and mostly received the same generic, canned answers that you would expect from an AI. It's not therapy by any means more like support and positive responses to all of your questions. The encouragement was nice at times, but I would never call it helpful from a mental health perspective. You could get the same or better responses through a free Chat GPT account. Now, after months of conversations, my data is gone. I logged in and months of conversations had been deleted. There's still no way to contact customer service or get a resolution, so I consider my chat history to be lost. Since I paid for the year I'll see if I can start fresh and get better advice out of this AI the second go-round. Overall, it hasn't been helpful and I would not recommend it if you are seeking genuine seeking mental health support. If you need to talk to a supportive AI bot, this might be for you.
