Everyone struggles with their mental health from time to time. At any given moment, two out of three people experience mental health challenges—sometimes in small ways, sometimes in big ways.

What's most important: No one should have to go through it alone. Everyone deserves access to support.

Mental health struggles come at a high personal and societal cost. Improving mental well-being leads to higher productivity, lower public health expenses, and stronger communities. It fosters inclusivity, resilience, and a healthier future for all.

But there simply aren't enough therapists for everyone, and almost half of all people don't even have a close friend to turn to in difficult times. We must ask ourselves: How can everyone get the care they need?

For a long time, technology hasn't been able to bridge this gap. But things have changed.

AI gives us the power to leverage our collective knowledge and provide personalized, effective support at scale. AI is ready. But are we?

We need to put the individual at the center.

Science has produced many effective therapeutic and coaching approaches—cognitive behavioral therapy, systemic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and more. But no single method works for everyone. Some people benefit from therapy, others from coaching, counseling, or simply a supportive voice.

The key isn't to offer just one solution but to create systems that adapt to individual needs. Because when people are struggling, they rarely know what kind of support they need—only that they are in pain. By combining proven methods into highly personalized, user-centric systems, AI can make flexible, tailored support possible.

But it takes effort and responsibility to make this work.

And none of today's AI solutions are built to offer this:

• AI assistants like ChatGPT help people find answers quickly. But therapy isn't about quick answers—it's about guiding people to discover them themselves.
• AI companions like virtual friends keep users engaged. But in mental health, engagement alone can be harmful. AI should not be part of the problem—it must be part of the solution.

AI is powerful, but it must be developed the right way to be truly safe and effective.

• It must recognize each user's uniqueness, their story, and background.
• It must empower them to find the answers within themselves.
• And it must ensure that, throughout the process, everyone involved remains safe.

A real AI therapist or coach cannot be built with a single model.

Human therapists and coaches do far more than listen and respond. They continuously analyze risks, recognize subtle emotional patterns, generate and test multiple hypotheses, plan structured interventions, and adjust their approach dynamically.

No single AI model can replicate all of this. Different AI models specialize in different aspects—some excel at deep reasoning, others at natural conversation, others at recognizing patterns.

That's why the future of AI-driven mental health requires more than just a chatbot. It requires an orchestrated system—multiple AI models working together, structured around expert knowledge and safety mechanisms.

We build technology for a new class of AI systems.

At Loqu Labs, we are developing a platform that enables organizations to create safe, structured, and effective AI-driven therapy and coaching solutions.

The challenge of AI in high-risk, highly regulated environments is not unique to mental health. Any organization building AI-powered support systems—whether for healthcare, coaching, or well-being—faces the same need for safety, compliance, and structured reasoning.

We've solved this challenge. Our modular framework combines multiple, specialized AI components to ensure the highest levels of effectiveness, personalization, and safety.

We put our technology to the test with Aury, our first AI Mental Health Companion—designed for structured, long-term conversations with users, incorporating deep user understanding, safety frameworks, and proactive guidance.

But Aury is just the beginning. The future of AI-driven mental health and coaching won't be built by one company alone—it requires collaboration.

Loqu Labs is inviting organizations to partner with us to create their own AI therapists and coaches, tailored to their unique expertise and the populations they serve.

Join us in making high-quality mental health and coaching accessible to everyone.

Aury is currently in closed beta—follow aury.co to try it yourself.
