We built Companion because everyone deserves access to a compassionate, always-available mental fitness partner – regardless of where they live or what language they think in.
Companion is now fully available in over 100 languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Swahili, and many more.
What this means in practice
- All conversations, reflections, and coaching exercises are natively understood in your language
- Responses are generated in your language – not translated from English
- Cultural context is preserved: idioms, tone, and emotional nuance adapt to each language
Our AI infrastructure
Companion uses a dual-AI approach to deliver the best experience:
- Text-based conversations are powered by Anthropic's Claude – our primary AI model for all written interactions, reflections, and coaching. Claude excels at nuanced, empathetic conversations across all 100+ supported languages.
- Voice-to-text input (available on paid plans) uses OpenAI's Whisper for speech recognition. Since Anthropic does not currently offer a voice model, we rely on OpenAI's industry-leading transcription to convert spoken input into text, which is then processed by Claude.
This means you get the best of both worlds: Anthropic's superior conversational intelligence for understanding and responding, combined with OpenAI's accurate voice transcription for hands-free input.
Why this matters
Mental health support is still deeply language-gated. The majority of therapy apps and wellness tools default to English, leaving billions of people underserved. Our multi-language model delivers quality that feels native, not mechanical – across every supported language.
We're grateful to every user who tested early versions and gave us feedback in their native tongue. You made this possible.
