Overview / Description
Tess is an AI mental health chatbot designed to deliver evidence-based support through conversational interaction, using techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. It's built for deployment by healthcare providers, employers, and insurers to extend mental health support capacity.
Organizations facing mental health support demand that outpaces clinician availability use Tess to provide immediate, accessible support between therapy sessions or while waiting for appointments. It's positioned as a clinical supplement, not a replacement for licensed mental health care.
Tess is not a consumer app in the traditional sense — it's primarily accessed through institutional partnerships. Effectiveness research is ongoing, and outcomes vary by user context. For organizations seeking scalable mental health touchpoints, it offers a more clinically grounded option than general-purpose chatbots.
