TherapAI
AI therapy-style chatbot, but with fictional characters
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.

Would love feedback or ideas. Brutal honesty welcomed 😂
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

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.
