It was during the pandemic when Cal first realized how many people were searching for mental health professionals and couldn't find them. Cal wished everyone could have access to the best therapist he's ever met – Sallie Sanborn. But nearly 40 percent of Americans now live in what's called Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas. So it should be no surprise that artificial intelligence has stepped into the void. Cal talks with Neil Parikh, one of the founders of TalkToAsh.com about the app that is very different breed of AI than ChatGPT. It's not an assistant that follows commands. It questions like a therapist and has helped many of the 50,000 people who've tested it. It launches today. And for now, it's free.
