Woebot

Would you be comfortable talking with a digital assistant about your problems? There’s an app called Woebot you can text back and forth about how you’re feeling. The company says its Woebot users feel like they establish a sort of bond with the app, approximating something like a relationship with a human therapist. We ask Woebot founder and psychologist Alison Darcy if they are trying to replace real-life psychologists.
