Stamina AI

Stamina AI is a CBT-based mental health chat companion with a dated session history, support from over 200 mental health professionals, and 24/7 access on web, iOS and Android. Positioned as a low-cost, always-available alternative to periodic therapy appointments.

Stamina AI is a conversational mental health companion built around cognitive behavioural therapy. The premise is straightforward: instead of waiting for a weekly appointment, a person can open a chat at 2am or during a lunch break and work through what is bothering them using structured CBT techniques. The company states the product was trained for more than 1,000 personalised sessions and is supported by over 200 mental health professionals, a figure meant to distinguish it from generic chatbot wrappers that simply hand a therapy prompt to a language model. In practice the tool works as an ongoing record of your mental health rather than a one-off chat. Sessions are dated and stored, so the interface shows a timeline of past conversations going back through months of entries. That makes it closer to a therapy journal with a responsive interlocutor than to a search box. The CBT framing matters here: the site explains the thought, feeling and behaviour loop and positions the assistant as a guide that helps users notice negative thinking patterns and then practise changing them between sessions. The audience is broad. Someone on a waiting list for a therapist, a person who finds face to face sessions intimidating, or a user who simply wants to reflect regularly without paying per appointment all fit the stated use case. The site leans on the cost comparison directly, noting that a year of access costs roughly what a single psychologist session does, which signals the intended value proposition: frequent, low-stakes support rather than a replacement for clinical care. Relative to the packed AI companion market, Stamina AI positions itself as the clinical-flavoured option. It is not a roleplay companion and it does not market itself as entertainment. The trade-off is that the evidence base and the credentials behind it are asserted on the homepage rather than documented there, so buyers who want published clinical validation should ask for it before committing. The mobile apps put it alongside general wellness tools on a phone home screen.
