This innovative platform is designed to offer users personalized, accurate responses to mental health concerns, providing a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions and receive support.

According to Manah Wellness Co-founder and CEO Dr. Ashwin Naik, many mental well-being issues are not rooted in clinical conditions. Still, they are deeply influenced by societal norms and personal beliefs. These challenges can discourage as many as 85% of those affected from seeking help. Dr. Naik emphasized that myBuddy aims to break down these barriers by offering a supportive environment where individuals can explore their concerns and begin their journey toward better mental health. He highlighted the importance of seeking the correct information and holding conversations in a non-judgmental space, allowing users to address their mental health concerns and make informed decisions.

One of the critical differentiators of myBuddy is its use of an exclusive knowledge repository developed in collaboration with the White Swan Foundation, a social responsibility initiative by Manah Wellness. Unlike other AI tools that rely on publicly available and often unverified data, myBuddy's intelligence is built on a unique internal data set. This repository comprises over 1,000 carefully curated questions and responses, informed by Manah's team of experienced psychologists. These insights are designed to address individuals' common queries and challenges when navigating mental health issues.

She explained that My Buddy supports users in multiple Indian and global languages, making it an ideal tool for managing workplace stress and personal well-being journeys. Arora emphasized that my Buddy serves as a valuable copilot for employees, offering them a resource to address daily stressors and take their first steps toward mental wellness.
