Wysa
An AI coaching app that walks you through CBT-style self-help exercises, with human coaches available.
By Wysa · launched unknown · last checked 2026-11-02
Why 1: it guides you through CBT-style exercises in conversation and you carry them out; it does not act on your accounts or the wider world.
What it does. Wysa is a smartphone conversational agent that delivers cognitive behavioural therapy techniques for low mood and anxiety, alongside a self-help library and optional human coaches. Its clients have included health providers and government agencies, among them the NHS and Singapore's Ministry of Health.
Where it falls short. The FDA gave Wysa Breakthrough Device Designation in May 2022 for a version aimed at adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain and depression or anxiety. That is a designation to speed development, not an approval, and we found no marketing authorisation. Wysa is not a substitute for crisis support or for a clinician.
