Clare&me builds a conversational bot that helps people with anxiety and excessive worry by delivering exercises and therapeutic conversation flows rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy. The chatbot is available 24/7 via phone calls, SMS, and WhatsApp and operates without a human on the line to create a judgement-free zone. It is intended for use in clinical settings and predicts the most helpful conversational intervention for any anxiety-related user problem. Clare guides users through longer exercises by phone and shorter flows over text and voice. The company is led by Emilia Theye and Celina Messner and is based in Berlin, Germany. Clare&me recently raised funding to advance its technology and product roadmap. clare&me offers an AI-based mental health companion that engages users in verbal conversations on smartphones and conveys clinically proven approaches to behavioural therapy. The product is designed to feel human and to increase access to psychological support regardless of location or time. The startup aims to close the gap between demand for therapy and limited treatment capacity, targeting people who lack access to or are reluctant to seek traditional help. The company cites large global burdens of anxiety and depression and notes the pandemic has increased mental-health challenges. The prototype is currently being tested in the UK. The fresh €1 million pre-seed funding will be used to further develop the product and expand the team.
