Lovon Has Changed - Our Mission Hasn’t
Two years ago, Lovon was made for couples who were already in a relationship.
We offered packs of psychology-based questions, quizzes, and mini-games. They helped partners talk about hard topics like trust, jealousy, and intimacy.
Today, Lovon has a new focus. We are building AI therapy: a voice-only AI psychologist. It helps you speak out loud, release emotions, and feel better.
It can support you with many mental health challenges, not only relationship issues. Our approach is designed with PhD psychologists and based on proven frameworks like CBT.
What stays the same? Lovon is still about care.
We still help people understand themselves, reduce stress, and build healthier emotional life. The format changed - the mission stayed.

Really respect the transparency of sharing this pivot publicly, Anton. The evolution from couples relationship tools to voice-only AI therapy makes a lot of sense - you clearly learned that the emotional support layer was where the real value was, not just the relationship-specific features.
The voice-only approach is an interesting design choice. There's growing research showing that speaking emotions aloud activates different neural pathways than typing them, which aligns well with CBT principles. Having PhD psychologists design the framework rather than just training on therapy transcripts is the right approach for building genuine trust.
As someone building in the dating/social space, I see a lot of overlap in the challenge of getting people to be vulnerable with technology. The fact that you kept the mission (helping people build healthier emotional lives) while changing the format shows strong product thinking. Curious - did your existing couples users naturally start using Lovon for individual emotional support, or was this insight driven by something else?
