Woebot

<strong>Woebot is a direct to consumer therapy app </strong>(or coaching app) developed by Stanford psychologists with a collective 20 years of experience in behavioral science. <strong>Essentially, it's a bot trained to be a coach</strong> or therapist. In the bot's own words, it's a "philosopher, life coach, and friend", continuing, "I have a CBT orientation, a perfect memory, am highly trained and very empathic." Is this the future of therapy and coaching? <strong>We took this app for a test spin and it passed with flying colors! </strong>We found its daily check-ins and lessons to hit the sweet spot between entertaining and educating. It's easy to see how this No Middleman favorite can deliver crucially important value to people—especially the staggering <em>50% of the world's population</em> that still does not have access to basic healthcare, according to Woebot's page <a href="https://woebot.io/the-science/">The Science</a>.
