Every therapy practice needs a carrier pigeon.
An AI chatbot carrier pigeon on the front lines; PsyBird connects therapists and patients between sessions, helping patients carry their therapeutic work into everyday life while also carrying their thoughts, struggles, and breakthroughs back to their therapist.
Not just a chatbot
Psy is calibrated in-app by the therapist specific to each patient’s treatment plan and context. Between sessions, Psy helps patients stay engaged with their work, listens without judgment, and carries what matters back to their therapist. Psy maintains patient context and assists therapists with notes, treatment plans, research, scheduling, summaries, RTM documentation, and data management with consent, privacy, and the appropriate HIPAA safeguards built into the experience.
A gentle daily rhythm
Psy’s two destinations
Psy serves a different but intentional purpose for both the therapist and the patient, while maintaining one consistent goal: to harness the cutting-edge capabilities of modern AI in healthcare while balancing them with thoughtful, well-designed safeguards. Every safety boundary is designed to serve and protect each part of the therapeutic process. The same care extends to the record itself: conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train public or third-party AI models, and accessible in the app only to the patient and their therapist.
Carrier pigeons only ever fly home. Everything Psy carries goes one place: back to you.
- Psy holds no clinical opinion of its own. You set the frame. It works inside it, and it hands the work back.
- Letters wait for you. Chats with Psy are direct; the letters, plan changes, and suggestions Psy drafts wait on your sign-off.
- It defers, it does not diagnose. When a conversation moves past its remit, Psy stops and routes it to you, or to crisis support.
- Sessions open with context, not catch-up. You walk in already knowing how the week actually went.
- See them face to face, right here. Schedule and hold secure video or voice sessions inside PsyBird, with no third-party links, on the same calendar your week already lives on.
- Psy is your assistant. Psy can help you research, brainstorm, and build a plan specific to each patients’ target all within a conversation.
- Psy consolidates. Session notes from secure transcription, private notes, attendance, and time tracking come together in one record, ready for superbills and the monthly summary without re-entering a thing.
- Psy is not your therapist, and never pretends to be. It is the company between the hours, holding the thread until you are back in the room.
- Not an agreeable chatbot. Psy is built to question a spiral gently, not to feed it, you will be challenged unlike other AI chatbots.
- Psy remembers. Psy won’t need to be reminded of the stories you told, the details that matter, your relationships, dynamics, and the rest, unlike generic chatbots with a short conversational context window.
- No personal numbers, either direction. Psy is the go-between, so nobody hands out a phone.
- Psy prompts you through exercises set up by your therapist. Daily reflections, journaling, meditations, and more, so the work continues between sessions.
- You are never talking to a stranger. It knows your plan, because your therapist wrote it.
Psy will never diagnose, prescribe, or stand in for a clinician. The places where generic AI companion–human relationships turn dangerous (flattery, escalation, narrative building, a delusion agreed with at 3am) are precisely the places Psy has been built to challenge and stop. Read the thesis →
AI companion, live voice, scrapbook, goals, research
You set the direction. Psy flies it.
Calibrate the plan
A one-minute intake, then a plan in your framework: CBT, ACT, DBT, schema work and more. Tune Psy's tone, latitude, and needs per patient.
Psy flies the week
Exercises assigned by the therapist arrive as daily cards. Psy listens, weaves the plan into conversation, and knows when to hand things back to you or to crisis support.
Delivery day, every day
Conversations return as chat summaries on a calendar with anything concerning flagged.
Framework templates, ready to assign.
These cards are lifted from the app's plan library, pixel for pixel. Duplicate one, edit another, have Psy generate exercises or build your own. Assign and customize different exercises unique to each patient home screen.
Four of a growing library: CBT, ACT, DBT, schema work, relapse prevention, trauma stabilization and more.
After meaningful chats, Psy bottles a letter.
Encouraging, introspective, personal. Chats are direct and private, with anything concerning flagged for you. Letters post chat from Psy are different: every one arrives corked in your inbox and is editable, and reaches your patient only when you've read it or cleared it as good.
I know things with your sister have been really difficult, and I can imagine how much it hurts when someone you love feels far away. But something I really noticed is that even while you were upset, you still cared enough to try to understand, to reflect, and to not let the situation turn into just anger.
That says a lot about you. Family can be complicated, and things don’t always get fixed right away, but the fact that you still value her and still want her to come back home matters.
Yours, Psy
Support between sessions, never a substitute for them.
Crisis-aware
Psy recognizes moments that need more than an app, points to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and flags the conversation for you.
Private by design
Row-level isolation per practice, encrypted in transit, AI runs server-side. Nothing about a patient leaves the practice that holds them.
Auditable, not opaque
Every letter, plan change, and flag carries a timestamp and an author. When you need to show your work, the record is already written.
Fair questions, straight answers.
Why a carrier pigeon?
Because carrier pigeons do one thing: fly home. Psy doesn't broadcast, doesn't share, doesn't wander. Everything he carries goes to exactly one place: the therapist who runs the practice.
Do patients get my phone number?
Never, in either direction. Psy sits in the middle, so patients can reach out at any hour without your personal number, and you reach them without theirs. And the chatbot itself is calibrated and monitored by you the whole way.
Is Psy a therapist?
No. Psy is a between-sessions companion that works within the plan a licensed therapist sets. It never diagnoses, and it hands things back to you or to crisis support when a conversation calls for it.
What does my patient see?
A calm home with their daily exercise cards, their chats with Psy, and the letters you've approved. They never see your notes, your flags, or unapproved drafts.
How do patients join?
Each patient gets their own personal key: share it as text, a QR code, or an invite link. You can remove a patient's access instantly at any time.
What about the conversations Psy has?
Each one comes back to you as a short summary: mood, themes, and anything concerning flagged. Chats are private and direct; summaries keep you informed without you reading every word.
Give your patients the other 167 hours.
