Purpose
Patch (MentalPatch) is an anonymous AI psychological conversation tool, officially positioned as a "self-reflection tool" for daily psychological self-help and emotional processing. It does not replace human psychological counseling, but rather uses AI conversation to help users record their state daily, review recurring patterns, and serve as preparatory material for working with a human counselor.
Main capabilities
- Continuous memory and pattern recognition: The official description states that the AI remembers everything the user has said and points out "what is repeating, where you keep circling back to the same place every time."
- Situational column analysis: Breaks down specific situations in a CBT-style "column" format, and the analysis results are saved permanently.
- Text and voice input: Supports daily recording by text or voice, available at any time, no appointment needed.
- Personal profile and counselor matching: Materials indicate that a personal profile can be generated after about two weeks of conversation; 602 clients have already created profiles, 292 situational analyses have been done, and 46% of users do a second analysis. Users without their own counselor can be matched with partner counselors based on their profile, and can choose preferences such as gender.
- Working with a human counselor: Users can generate a link from their profile page to invite their own counselor; the counselor can see the user's dynamic changes and enter the session prepared. The profile provides a "Подключить живого психолога (Connect a live psychologist)" button.
How to use
- Use via Telegram (the page provides a "Start (in Telegram)" entry point).
- Talk about your situation daily by text or voice; the AI remembers the content and points out patterns.
- After accumulating material, you can invite your own counselor from your profile, or the system can match a suitable counselor based on your profile.
- The first 3 days are a trial, no bank card required.
- Materials indicate the Plus monthly price is 2,890 ₽, with a comparison example given against the price of human counseling (in the example, calculated at an average of 4,000 ₽ per session). The actual meeting frequency is decided jointly by the user and the counselor.
Suitable scenarios
- People who want anonymous, anytime self-reflection and emotional recording.
- People already receiving psychological counseling who want to maintain continuous records between sessions and reduce "recapping time."
- People who want to be matched via profile with a counselor of a suitable school or method.
Limitations and notes
- The official description makes clear that Patch is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnostic or treatment service.
- Materials are only forwarded to the counselorwith the user's consent; the actual counseling and its terms are negotiated directly by the counselor themselves.
- When changing counselors, the history remains with the user.
- More details regarding scope of use, medical qualifications, data storage, and privacy policy are not yet provided in the materials.
