HN Community,

I’m here to share an evolution of Minds.ee, a project some of you might remember from its early days. Built on feedback and insights from diverse user bases, including tech professionals, we've rolled out significant updates:

    Persistent Memory: Incorporating chat history, Minds.ee now provides continuity in mental health support, allowing users to revisit past conversations and track progress over time.

    Advanced AI Understanding: We've refined the AI's ability to grasp and reflect on psychological intricacies, aiming for a nuanced, empathetic dialogue that resonates with human experiences.

    Faster Interaction: Response times are crucial, so we've optimized the chatbot for quicker exchanges, facilitating smoother and more efficient user support.

This isn't just a product update—it's a step towards a more empathetic and accessible mental health resource. Minds.ee is an ongoing effort to blend technology with the human element of psychological support, and we're keen to see how it can further evolve with HN's astute feedback.

Explore the updated experience at minds.ee and let’s discuss the intersections of AI, mental health, and how tech can be leveraged for greater good.

Thank you for your time and thoughts.

It's important to clarify that emails are only retained for the duration of the chat session and are not stored beyond that. This approach ensures that users' email addresses are only used for verification purposes and are not vulnerable to unauthorized access or misuse.

Hi there and thank you for your response!

Asking for users' emails as part of the signup process is a reasonable way to verify that your chatbot is being used by real people. I am sure to handle users' information with care and respect their privacy.

Did it! Thank you for the notice.

I noticed a lot of worry in one of the HN topics[1] about making a chatbot therapist, so I thought it would be a good project. Please keep in mind that it is only a basic computer asking reflecting questions. I'm sure I'll run out of OpenAI tokens quickly, so I apologize if you arrive late and are unable to use it. It is pretty awful still. It sometimes works OK.
