TherapAI

AI therapy-style chatbot, but with fictional characters

Visit Website
April 7, 2025 Just launched TherapAI – a fictional therapist chatbot (Gandalf, Batman, Grandma...)

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

Just wanted to share something I’ve been working on: TherapAI. It’s a chatbot therapist — but instead of a generic voice, it talks like:

- Gandalf 🧙

- Batman 🦇

- An angry Italian grandma 👵

It’s not real therapy, but it’s weirdly comforting.

Still validating the idea. People are signing up. Some are asking for even weirder characters.

You can join the early access waitlist here:

Would love feedback or ideas. Brutal honesty welcomed 😂

    The character angle was a clever way to make a chatbot feel less generic. Curious what happened after the early-access stage and which characters or use cases ended up getting the strongest response.

About

I built TherapAI because I realized I wanted emotional support... but I didn’t want to talk to a real person. So I made a chatbot therapist. But instead of a generic AI, it talks like Batman, Gandalf, or your yelling It
