Woebot wound down its direct-to-consumer app in 2025, leaving its users looking for somewhere to land. here's a thought: maybe the replacement for an AI chatbot isn't another AI chatbot. veisund is free peer support from real people, and you're anonymous to everyone you talk to — you post under a handle you pick, and it is all anyone sees. open any hour, no subscription, and no risk that a pivot to enterprise takes your support system away. making the account takes an email address; no phone number and no real name are ever asked for.
this page is part of veisund (formerly Resolv Social), a free, anonymous peer-support community with a sourced library on psychiatric medications.
| Woebot | veisund | |
|---|---|---|
| status | consumer app discontinued in 2025 | live, free, and built for individuals |
| who responds | an AI chatbot (while it existed) | real people + verified experts |
| cost | free, until it wasn't available at all | free — the model, not a phase |
| format | CBT-style chatbot check-ins | anonymous text or video posts to a community |
| anonymity | app account | a handle, not a name. an email makes the account and is never shown to anyone |
| crisis support | signposting | 988 lifeline one tap away |
Woebot was one of the earliest and most credible AI mental-health chatbots, built around daily CBT-style check-ins. in 2025 the company wound down its consumer app to focus on enterprise and embedded products. no fault to the team — but it's a structural lesson: when your support tool is a venture-backed product, it can be discontinued out from under you. a community of humans doesn't get sunset.
Woebot's own appeal was honesty about being a bot — it never claimed to be your friend. veisund makes the opposite offer, honestly: real people who have been through depression, anxiety, grief, the 2am spiral, responding to you directly. peer support research consistently finds that being understood by someone with lived experience is the active ingredient. that's the thing a chatbot could never ship.
what people loved about Woebot — always available, judgment-free, no appointment — survives here. you can post any hour, posting is anonymous, and there's nothing to schedule or pay for. what changes is what comes back: recognition instead of a script, and a resolution mechanic that lets you mark a post 'Resolved' when you've found your footing. this isn't therapy, and veisund is upfront about that — it's the human layer that most apps skipped.
Woebot wound down its direct-to-consumer app in 2025 as the company shifted focus to enterprise products. The consumer chatbot is no longer available.
