It’s just a text message.
No app required and nothing new to learn. Add your Spiral number to your phone contacts and text it the way you text anyone else.
Your therapist stays in the loop.
If you choose, your therapist gets a summary of everything you’ve dealt with since you last saw them. No more spending the first 20 to 30 minutes unloading. Make the most of the time you have together.

Spiral isn’t therapy.
It never pretends to be. It's not a human, not a license, not a replacement for the person in the chair across from you. It's AI that supports you between sessions, because the hardest moments rarely wait for an appointment.
Privacy comes first, by design. Your personal data is never sold and never used for advertising. You choose what reaches your therapist. This is some of the most personal information there is and we treat it that way.
We believe the role of AI in therapy is not to replace a therapist. It's about empowering the ones we already see and preserving the irreplaceable human element of therapy. That's why every therapist gets their own custom AI persona instead of one generic chatbot everybody shares. The parts that should never be handled by software aren't: if you're ever in crisis, Spiral helps provide you with resources to get help, like 988.

me & mom
My mom and I have both been going to therapy for years. When I told her what I was building, she said she’d never use it. AI felt weird to her. Cold. Not for her. I understood.
A week later she called me. She’d had a hard day, the kind where you reach for your phone because you need to talk to someone right now. She said: I really could have used that thing you talked about building today.
That’s when I went all in. Her words about AI feeling cold shaped the biggest decision I made: partner with people’s own therapists instead of building one generalized thing everybody chats with. Something familiar.
I understand the shift toward AI can feel strange. Hesitation is fair and I absolutely respect it. If you ever find yourself struggling between sessions and wishing for someone to turn to, that’s the moment I hope you try Spiral. I believe this can drastically improve the effectiveness of self-help and give you freedom from the struggles that too often decide our days for us.
