The honest brief

Pi

Tuned for empathetic, sustained conversation and voice rather than task automation, and free to use.

  • Warm, supportive conversational style
  • Natural voice interaction
  • Free, no subscription required
  • Web and mobile apps
  • Not built for productivity tasks
  • Future uncertain after Microsoft acqui-hire
  • Free tier picked up usage caps
  • Runs on Inflection's own undisclosed models

Wysa

Pairs an AI CBT chatbot with optional human coaching and an SOS flow that screens for distress and routes to helplines.

  • Free AI CBT chatbot
  • Optional human coaching tier
  • Crisis SOS escalation flow
  • 200+ self-care tools
  • Anonymous, no sign-up to start
  • Not a substitute for therapy
  • Human coaching costs extra
  • AI guidance is generic at times
  • Limited crisis-care depth
