Anton Ponikarovskii

@puhoshville Thanks so much! 💙 Anna's here to support you, not fix you - you're not broken! She's really good at helping people work through relationship stuff and tough emotions. What made you interested in trying AI therapy vs traditional?

Sergey Bakaev

@puhoshville thank you Dima! Come for free trial and check it!

@puhoshville Thank you Dima!

I was building something similar for breakup recovery a year ago, at a time llms were not good enough, but the current generation definitely can handle it. Glad you guys have built it, much needed to keep sane in the exponentially changing world we're living in. Good luck with the launch!

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@konstantin_netyliov1 Thank you for the support! Yeap, break up is one of hardest case, when people would like to talk painful events and get support, without being afraid of being judge by other humans. We have bunch of users who will are helping with going through, and based on their feedback -it's really helping them! So current LLMS + our architecture + expertise of real therapist helping out here!

Anton Ponikarovskii

@konstantin_netyliov1 Thanks! Breakups are actually our #1 use case - you were ahead of the curve. Since you were building in that space, what do you think is the most critical thing AI therapy needs to get right for breakup recovery?

Sergey Bakaev

@konstantin_netyliov1 thank you Kanstantsin! Remember our conversation on Founders CY about it!

Kirill

Congrats 🎉

Does Lovon learn and adapt to personal context over time? For example, If I work on specific anxiety triggers, will the system remember my progress/struggles?

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@motuqs Thank you Kirill!
Yes, Lovon learn from each session about user, share insights and use this insight in the next sessions. In case of anxiety trigger it will remember all your occasions, and help you to reflect on them and progress

Sergey Bakaev

@motuqs thanks Kirill!

Anton Ponikarovskii

@motuqs it remembers everything about your prev conversations

Ilona Kovalenko

Congrats on the launch, Anton! One thing I'm curious about — how do you handle data privacy for such sensitive conversations? Is everything encrypted end-to-end?

Anton Ponikarovskii

@kova_ai Thanks so much! Great question - privacy is absolutely critical for us. All conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we're HIPAA-compliant. Your therapy sessions are completely confidential.

Have you tried AI therapy before, or would this be your first experience with it?

Sergey Bakaev

@kova_ai thank you Ilona! appreciate it a lot!

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@kova_ai Everything is incepted and we are making Anna save, secure and smart every day! Thank you!

Jalil Tahirov
Love the mission behind! Voice feature is nice , sometimes it is easy to use voice while walking for example. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Anton Ponikarovskii

@jalil_tahirov Thanks so much! Yeah, we built it voice-first exactly for that - many of our users talk to Anna while walking, commuting, or just lying in bed when they need to process something.

What kind of emotional challenges would make you reach for voice therapy vs just talking to a friend?

Sergey Bakaev

@jalil_tahirov Jalil, thank you to Mars and back!

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@jalil_tahirov Thank you man! Voice is the future!

Natali Novik

I’ve been in therapy for a long time and even though I can message my therapist, there are moments I just need to process things immediately. What therapeutic framework is it primarily based on?

Anton Ponikarovskii

@natallia_novik Thanks! Anna uses mainly CBT and person-centered approaches, adapting to what you need in real-time. That immediate processing gap is exactly why we built this - sometimes you can't wait till next Tuesday at 3pm.

Do you usually text your therapist in those moments, or wish you could just talk it out?

Natali Novik

@ponikarovskii yes, I do text my therapist sometimes, but I worry it might feel like too much. That’s actually why I’ve found Lovon useful, it helps to have somewhere to process in the moment. I prefer existential therapy, so I wonder how the app deals with deeper life topics...

Sergey Bakaev

@ponikarovskii  @natallia_novik thank you for your kind words, Natali!

Mihai Dragomirescu

i hope your product contains guide-rails that get triggered on special occasions and give advice to the user to reach out to a human therapist. AI can be sometimes an echo-chamber that amplifies our blindspots. But I am sure you app can help many just starting to look inside. Congrats on the launch!

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@respira Hey, thank you so much! You are absolutely right! In case of special occasions we indeed advise sets to reach out to humans! We care about our users, and if something is need more closer human attention - we help users to get that support

Sergey Bakaev

@respira yes, of course, Mihao!

Thank you!

Madalina B

This is awesome!!!

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@madalina_barbu Thank you! It is indeed :)

Anton Ponikarovskii

@madalina_barbu Thank you! 🙏 We're really excited to bring Lovon to the world. Have you ever struggled to find someone to talk to when dealing with relationship or emotional challenges?

Sergey Bakaev

@madalina_barbu ooooh! thank you Madalina!

Abdul Rehman

Really interesting approach 👏 I like that you’re focusing on evidence-based frameworks instead of just making another AI chatbot. The voice-first experience sounds especially promising — feels much more human.

Anton Ponikarovskii

@abod_rehman Thanks so much! 💙 The voice piece has been a revelation - we've seen people open up way more authentically when they can just speak vs. type. And our PhD psychologist keeps us honest on the evidence-based side, which is critical.

Have you tried any AI mental health tools before? Curious what's worked (or what's been missing) for you!

Sergey Bakaev

@abod_rehman thanks Abdul!!

Aleksandr Lavrinenko

@abod_rehman Thank you for your support! You made us product of the day and in top of monthly products!

andrew white

congrats on the launch, anton 🙌 the voice-first approach sounds cool. i've been building ai agents for my own workflow and the difference between typing and talking is night and day. feels like you're actually being heard vs filling out a form.


curious about the crisis detection - is that real-time during the conversation or pattern-based over multiple sessions?

Aleksandr Lavrinenko
@andrew_white_13 Hey Andrew! Both! Anna can work both inside session and taking into account progress and events over recent sessions!
Anton Ponikarovskii

@andrew_white_13 Thanks Andrew! Totally agree - voice just hits different. The "being heard" vs "filling a form" is exactly the feeling we're going for.

Crisis detection works both ways - real-time during conversation (certain phrases, emotional intensity) + pattern-based across sessions (deteriorating mood trends, recurring themes). The combo gives us better coverage.

You mentioned building AI agents - what kind of workflows are you automating? Always curious what other builders are working on!

Sergey Bakaev

@andrew_white_13 thanks a lot, Andrew!
