Anyone here actually tried one and seen the benefits (or downsides) firsthand?

I’ve been noticing a lot of these self-help apps popping up lately that have AI companions built into them. It’s an interesting idea — having a sort of “always available” virtual buddy who can talk you through your stress or help you stick to routines. But I keep wondering… where’s the line between something genuinely helpful and something that might make people too dependent on technology instead of real human interaction? Anyone here actually tried one and seen the benefits (or downsides) firsthand?

I’ve been experimenting with the Liven app for about a month, and it’s been surprisingly eye-opening. It’s not just a chatbot spitting out generic advice — the AI actually learns your patterns, remembers things you’ve told it, and adapts. I use it mainly for daily mood check-ins and setting small tasks, and it does keep me accountable in a way that’s less “nagging” than a human might be. That said, I can see the ethical concerns. For example, sometimes I catch myself messaging it instead of calling a friend, just because it’s faster and feels “easier.” This could potentially reinforce isolation if someone’s already socially withdrawn. There’s also the privacy side — even if the company promises security, you’re still feeding it personal data. If you want to see what I mean, this article breaks down some of Liven’s features pretty well: liven app

I get both of your points. It’s kind of like when fitness trackers first came out — at first, they’re super motivating, but if you lean on them too much, you might stop trusting your own instincts. I guess it comes down to balance.
