Our Mission
Reducing Loneliness. One Conversation at a Time.
Loneliness is one of the most significant public health challenges of our time. Research from the US Surgeon General's office identifies loneliness as an epidemic affecting over 50% of adults — with health impacts equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes daily.
BetterFriendAI was founded in 2022 by a team of AI researchers, clinical psychologists, and product designers united by a shared belief: no one should feel alone simply because they don't have access to support.
We build AI companions that are empathetic, transparent, and genuinely helpful — never addictive, never manipulative, and always honest about being AI.
