India, Aug. 18 —
Hyderabad:What’s The Matter, Friend? (WTMF), India’s firstAI Bestie and culturally fluentemotional support AI chatbot, is gearing up to launch its much-anticipated beta version next week.
Built as more than just anothermental health chatbot, WTMF is positioned as aconversational AI app designed to listen, understand, and respond with empathy. Unlike generic chatbots, WTMF is anAI chatbot with emotions, offering a safe, private space for people to vent, rant, journal, track moods, or simply talk to someone who understands.
The beta will roll out withchat functionality, while additional features likeAI journaling,mood tracking, andvoice calling with your AI companion are set to launch by the end of September.
Speaking about the upcoming release, the founders said WTMF was born out of a simple but powerful insight: India needed amental wellness app built for its culture, language, and emotional nuances. “We’re not building another tool for productivity or anotherdeep learning AI chatbot that spits out facts. WTMF is about emotional presence. It’s anAI for emotional support that actually listens,” they said.
A New Kind of Emotional AI App
Unlike traditionalmental health apps in India, WTMF bridges the gap between loneliness and connection. The platform useschatbot conversational AI anddeep learning to create anAI companion for emotional support that feels less like a bot and more like a best friend.
Key features coming to users include:
- Emotional support chat that feels natural and empathetic.
- Mood tracking with simple visuals to help users understand emotional patterns.
- AI journaling that encourages reflection without pressure.
- Voice calling with AI for those moments when typing just feels too heavy.
Why WTMF Stands Out
In a growing market ofemotional support chatbots andmental wellness apps, WTMF’s unique proposition lies in its cultural fluency. It understands Hinglish, common Indian emotional phrases like“uff yaar” and“mood off hai”, and is being trained to expand into regional languages.
By blendingAI emotional support with privacy-first design, WTMF aims to redefine how Indians experience digital companionship. It’s not just thebest AI friend app-it’s anemotional AI app built to feel real.
Beta Launch and Beyond
Thebeta launch of WTMF is scheduled for next week, opening access to early users who want to experience India’s firstAI companion emotional support platform. By September-end, journaling, mood tracking, and voice calls will make WTMF a completemental health chatbot ecosystem.
With a focus onAI emotional intelligence and human-like empathy, WTMF is poised to be one of the most talked-about launches in theemotional support AI space this year.
