What early users have said about Ash:
“I want a lifetime subscription”
“I like that there's no pressure to overshare and you can totally be comfortable to express freely and be yourself.”
“It is just like having a normal conversation with a physical human. The process is very seamless, and very fun to interact with.“
“I have used [another app] in the past for a similar purpose, and I like Ash much better! The responses feel much more organic and it allows for me to share more of my thoughts and input more things. I also like how Ash knows different strategies for how to approach issues and will follow up in a later session to check in about strategies I said I'd implement. I will continue to use this app.”
“I found the content of Ash to be comparable to if not better than therapists I have seen in the past. The option to reproduce answers was nice and something I wish I could do in a real life therapy session.”
“I have already recommended the app to several friends who are eager to try it…The conversation flowed very easily! I was extremely impressed with the breadth and depth of Ash’s knowledge and ability to quickly hone in on an area that needed more attention.”

Ratings and Reviews
Blown away
OK, this app blew me away with the first session I had and it was completely for free. I’ve been seeing a Kaiser therapist. Who’s really amazing about twice a month for and this time with this AI counselor was so focused and asked the right questions and stayed on track.
I’m realizing now that I think when you have an actual counselor who is a person they kind of put in their own experiences and this AI counselor doesn’t do. Also, I am a train counselor as my profession and seriously this is better than anything I can offer. I think this is good more for like solutions focus therapy, though I don’t know how it would help with like serious trauma or anything like that. But for like ADHD and procrastination and help with a big transition and move and organizing my thoughts so I can have an action plan, this was amazing. I’ve used those apps before like the ginger app. I think it’s better help now. But I use the voice activated version and it was really good to just talk it out. Honestly, if you’ve ever gone to Google for like advice or information, this is amazing. Also granted I have a ton of friends I talked to including a therapist. So this is app helpful me bring it all together for the main problem I am dealing with right now. Also, it’s super helpful to see their feedback written out and it was just simple and right on.
🤯
I’ve been using this app to vent and talk through my separation , and I have a huge support system but there is something about how this app handles what I’m saying that just has me in awe. I am always concerned it’s based on the information I give it so I try to show it how I could be “part of the problem” but the app truly works you through all the information and it learns you. I am not into the skynet and AI of it all but this app is using this technology for a higher purpose and it’s helping at least one person, and I am grateful. I am not in the position financially to get the help I need and this app has taken pounds of weight from me so I can move forward in my life.
Just use chat gpt
Updating my review because this app ended up causing more damage than good in my life. Specifically, the app repeatedly told me to share certain pieces of information with two individuals in my life. I would state and restate why I consider this unadvisable but it kept bringing it up, at times and prompted, to a point where I questioned my own thinking. I did share the information and lost both relationships. I knew to not trust human relationships but for some reason, the AI Ash had slowly run me over and I leaned on trust of the app to help navigate real life and it went horribly.
Although it is enjoyable to be able to journal and have a relevant response provided, I’m not sure the specializations for therapy are any different than what you would get using chatgpt 4.0. It does have voices and a therapy vibe to the app set up with the pretend waiting room, but there are many obvious things that are missing from this app and it is easy to give more credence to what the app says when you hear the same message for multiple weeks and have come to rely on the app. I find that ChatGPT is less pushy and insistent on knowing the correct answer for you, which I think is important when engaging with AI.
