An AI therapist helped me make the hardest relationship decision - would you use one?
Six months ago, I was stuck in a relationship that looked “good on paper.”
My partner was loving and kind… but my feelings were gone.
I didn’t want to hurt her.
But staying was hurting me.
When I felt overwhelmed, I opened Lovon (an AI therapy app we’re building) and talked it out by voice. One thing it helped me do early on: don’t make a breakup decision in panic.
A month passed. Nothing changed. I still felt empty. Still stuck.
Then Lovon asked me a question that landed way too hard:
“Knowing everything you’ve lived through with this person… would you choose it again?”
My answer came instantly: No.
And that “No” was the truth I’d been avoiding.
Lovon didn’t “decide” for me.
It helped me slow down, structure my thoughts, and face reality - without feeling alone.
That’s the problem we’re trying to solve:
a private, voice-first space to process heavy emotions and make sense of your thoughts when it’s 2 a.m. and your brain won’t stop.
I’d genuinely love your take:
Would you trust an AI for moments like this? Why / why not?
What guardrails would you expect from an “AI therapist” product?
What’s one question that changed your life (or helped you make a hard decision)?
