Abby is an AI chat companion positioned as an always-available outlet for everyday emotional struggles, founded in 2024 and based in the United States. It's built by a small team working with an "Ethics & Safety Board" and is explicit that it isn't a licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist, the product is scoped to everyday stress and reflection rather than clinical treatment.
Conversations run through a model tuned with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, and Abby remembers details across sessions, goals mentioned weeks earlier, recurring stressors, language patterns, so responses build on prior context rather than starting fresh each time. Support is available in more than 26 languages and around the clock, which the company positions as removing the scheduling and cost barriers of traditional therapy access.
Abby suits people who want a judgment-free space to talk through a stressful day or reframe a negative thought pattern, not people seeking diagnosis or treatment for a mental health condition. The core chat product is free; a Pro tier unlocks unlimited messaging and deeper personalization for $19.99 per month, or $8.25 per month billed annually.
