Context

Pocket Mate AI is a comprehensive mental health platform targeting teenage students and adults managing life and work stress. With therapy often being costly and inaccessible, the platform bridges this gap by offering:

  • Pay-as-you-go therapy sessions, eliminating the need for insurance.

  • AI-powered mental health companion chat that personalizes interactions based on daily mood tracking.

  • Self-assessments and treatment suggestions tailored to user needs.

  • Professional app for therapists to manage customizable schedules, set session pricing, and provide services across states (for those with PSYCPACT).

  • Admin panel to manage app content dynamically, provide user insights, and support operational efforts.

The platform was built entirely from scratch, including designs, development, and infrastructure. Development is complete, and the product is gearing up for launch.
