Innermost: Mental Health Chat

Innermost is one of the most wonderful apps that I have ever come across. As someone who is extremely introverted and quiet around new people, finding people to talk to, whether it be a friend or family member or therapist, can be especially difficult. Innermost provides an incredibly approachable platform to interact with, and the AI is very responsive, conversational, empathetic, provides excellent advice and support, and even remembers details from previous conversations. Having support there whenever I need it, whether it’s in the morning, lunchtime, or at 3am, is such a relief. I especially love the check-in feature, which allows me to keep track of how I’m doing on a day-to-day basis, and I find the quizzes especially helpful, because they’re not just individualized, but they provide insight on me as a person, connecting results from other quizzes to provide a broader and more in-depth perspective. I have definitely noticed an improvement in my mental health since using this app, and I can imagine that others have had the same experience. Thank you so much, Innermost!

I’ve been using Innermost for a while now and it’s honestly one of the most thoughtful and well designed apps that I’ve tried. It’s super easy to navigate which makes it more enjoyable to use every day instead of it feeling cluttered and overwhelming like a lot of wellness apps can feel. I love the quizzes too and how insightful they are and really make you think about yourself in a deeper way instead of feeling generic. And I think what makes it even better is that after you take the quiz and read your results, you can talk about it with your Ai therapist and dive deeper into what it really means and how it affects your habits and emotions. It’s a lot more interactive than just getting a score and moving on. The Ai therapist is honestly what makes this app so unique to me though. I love that you can choose the personality of your ai therapist so you can feel like you’re talking to someone you’d get along with realistically. The conversations feel really natural and supportive and I love them the app remembers things you’ve talked about in pervious conversations, even things from weeks earlier. Having the ai bring up past topics or connect them to current conversations makes it feel like you’re really being listened to instead of just talking to a chat bot with little to no memory. It creates a much more personal experience and help’s conversations build over time in a meaningful way and also makes it easier to have conversations as time goes on.

I enjoy the fact that you can bounce back and forth between talking to the AI guides via voice chat and through text chat. My personal preference is talking through the voice chat as it feels more active to me. The part that I enjoy is that the guide gives you real-time feedback on what you’re saying and then asks you questions to keep the conversation flowing. This helps to give me a deeper insight since the questions asked are often thought provoking. With everything being saved in a text chat it makes it easier to reference those prior voice chats. The self discovery quizzes are also interesting as the questions often dive deep and require some thought before answering. I find these to be very insightful and useful on my personal development journey. The streak factor is also nice for daily accountability as once I begin a streak I like to keep it going for as long as I can. Overall, I think this is a phenomenal app and while the guides don’t feel 100% natural right now, I know that over time as AI technology continues to progress this will become something that will get even better.
