Providing People with an
Emotional Resilience tool
for Mental Health
Jo Aggarwal launched the chatbot ‘Wysa’ in 2016 after her own struggle
with depression. She realised the power of Cognitive Behavior Training, a
skill to be learnt. The name ‘Wysa’ comes from Eliza, which was the first
such chatbot ever created. Five years and 700 iterations later, Wysa has
helped over 4 million people, most of whom had no other mental health
support.
The hundreds and thousands of stories of transformation that people have
shared after talking to Wysa, have been personally the most meaningful
learning for the team.
