What is Wysa?

Wysa is a mental wellbeing app built around a chat interface with an AI character, supplemented by exercises drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and dialectical behaviour therapy. You can talk through how you feel, log moods, and work through guided tools for worry, sleep or low mood. Beyond the automated conversations, paid plans connect users to human coaches and, in some regions, licensed therapists. The company positions the product as a self-help tool rather than a treatment, and the app includes crisis resources.

FAQ

Can Wysa treat a mental health condition?

No. It offers self-help exercises and a conversational interface, which is not the same as treatment. Anyone experiencing significant distress, or thoughts of self-harm, should contact a qualified professional or a crisis line rather than relying on an app.

Are the conversations private?

The company publishes a privacy policy describing what is stored and how it is used, and basic use can be anonymous. Read that policy before sharing sensitive details, and remember that no consumer app offers the confidentiality of a clinical relationship.

What does the paid plan include?

Paid tiers generally add human support, such as text-based coaching or therapist sessions, and unlock the full exercise library. The automated chat and a range of exercises remain available without paying.
