👋 Hi Product Hunt! I’m Anton, co-founder of Lovon AI Therapy.
After a year of development with a PhD psychologist (40+ years of clinical expertise), we’re excited to introduce a new standard in AI-powered mental health support. Here’s how Lovon stands out from other AI solutions:
🚀 More than just an “agreeable” chatbot like GPT
Lovon uses evidence-based frameworks (CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy) designed to gently challenge unhealthy thinking - not just agree with it.
🎙 Voice-first, real conversation experience
Simply talk, just like you would with a real therapist. Voice unlocks a genuine human connection that text simply can’t replicate.
⚡ Crisis detection, built-in
Lovon automatically recognizes signs of crisis and connects you to immediate resources when you need help most.
🌙 Available 24/7
Support is always just a tap away - Lovon is there in the moment, especially when real therapists aren’t available.
Our approach is developed by a world-class team, and we’re launching clinical validation studies soon, already seeing amazing results from our users.
💡 We’re not replacing therapists - we’re your bridge between sessions, at the very moment you need support.
In Spring 2025, we raised an $850K pre-seed to build a world-class team, including a PhD psychologist with 40 years of experience developing our therapeutic approach.
🎁 Exclusive for the PH community:
Use code PH2026 for a free week of Lovon AI Therapy (valid until October 16, 2026). Plus, everyone gets a 3-day unlimited trial!
I’d love your feedback!
Ask me anything - I’m here all day and happy to connect 💙
@serjobas Thank you! 🙏 That means a lot. We built Anna specifically for emotional support - she's trained to truly listen and understand what you're going through, not just give advice. What's been most helpful for you in your sessions?

@serjobas Indeed, thank you for that! ChatGPT is usually solving a problem to "please" persona. Anna is specially designed (and trust me it was many many hours) to help person to go deeper, reflect and get insights!
@maria_anosova Thanks so much! 🙏 Right now Anna works online only since she needs to process conversations in real-time. But we're looking into offline modes for replaying past sessions – great suggestion!
@maria_anosova We would like to have offline, but for now tools are restricted that. But as soon as AI and phones will be more powerful - definitely :)
@daniel_dhawanThanks so much for sharing this! Really happy to hear Anna helped you work through things. Quick question - did the voice format make it easier to open up compared to texting with a regular therapist?
@daniel_dhawan one of the reasons for me to start Lovon with guys was my personal problem with relationship therapy! So I can feel you, bro! Thanks for your comment!

@daniel_dhawan Understand you bro, thank for you support!
@nikita_40in Thanks! We actually use AI, not human therapists - Anna is fully AI-powered. The biggest challenge has been teaching her to be empathetic while asking the right questions at the right time. Have you ever tried AI therapy, or would this be your first experience with it?
Voice-first therapy feels like a strong differentiator! I’m curious – Who’s your primary user today? People looking for “between sessions” support, or users who don’t have access to therapy at all?
@tereza_hurtova Thanks! Great question. We actually discovered something surprising - our primary users aren't supplementing traditional therapy. They're people going through breakups who want someone to talk to at 2 AM when they can't sleep, or during a panic moment at work. Traditional therapy has a 2-week wait + $200/session barrier that doesn't work for these acute emotional moments.
What's been your experience with mental health support - do you find the traditional model works for you, or do you hit those barriers too?
Report
@ponikarovskii Wow! I wouldn't have guessed that as the primary use case right away, but it makes perfect sense. 💡 Traditional therapy is great, but it’s definitely not 'on-demand' for those acute 2 AM moments or sudden panic at work.
As for my experience, I’ve used in-person therapy, and I hit almost all the barriers you mentioned. For me, the biggest struggles were finding the right therapist who actually 'clicks' with you + trying to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule + costs. Thanks for sharing that perspective!
@ponikarovskii@tereza_hurtova I had this 2 a.m. moment, where though are crazy and I need some to talk too! So AI Therapy is definitely a solution here, thank you for your support!
@anton_selikhov1 Thank you so much! 💙 This means the world to us. We built Anna to be there whenever you need support. What made you decide to try AI therapy over traditional options?

Great job 🧡
Sometimes the internet is unstable, but support is always needed. Does it work offline or оnly online?
