About Companion

Our Mission

Companion is an AI mental fitness platform that helps people build emotional resilience, practice self-reflection, and develop lasting habits. We combine principles from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with AI to make structured self-reflection accessible to everyone, in over 100 languages. Companion is not therapy or medical care.

Unlike general-purpose AI assistants, Companion is designed to reduce cognitive dependence. Our goal is not more screen time but stronger independent capacity for emotional clarity, self-awareness, and mental resilience that carries into daily life.

Our Approach to AI Mental Health

Every conversation in Companion is shaped by principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the most widely studied framework in clinical psychology. CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns, examine evidence for and against them, and develop more balanced perspectives over time.

We ground our approach in peer-reviewed research and are committed to GDPR compliance, European data storage, and transparent data practices. Companion is a supportive tool for daily reflection, not a replacement for professional mental health care.

The Team Behind Companion

Companion started in 2023 when Sebastian, going through a difficult period, began using AI as a personal mental fitness tool. What began as a personal coping mechanism grew into a mission: build a dedicated platform that combines AI with psychology research to help others strengthen their mental fitness.
