Introducing Ash: the first AI designed for therapy
In this launch video, Slingshot AI co-founder Daniel Cahn introduces Ash — the first AI designed for therapy — built on a purpose-built foundation model for psychology and designed to understand you, respect your values, and push you to grow over text or voice.
• Ash launches as the first AI designed for therapy, built by a combined AI and clinical team with close to $100M raised to build a foundation model for psychology.
• It works over text or voice and remembers across conversations, aiming to understand you, respect your values, and push you to grow.
• A short demo shows it applying techniques like cognitive diffusion ("you're not your thoughts — you're the observer of them"), surfacing insights, and guiding topic-by-topic journeys.
• The team describes early results across tens of thousands of beta users as transformational.
