Introducing Diya: Your AI-Powered DBT Coach Is Here

We're thrilled to announce the biggest update to DBT Coach since its launch: Diya, your AI-powered DBT companion. This isn't just another chatbot - Diya is a thoughtfully designed therapeutic companion trained specifically in Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles, ready to support you 24/7 on your mental health journey.

Meet Diya: Your Personal DBT Guide

Diya (named after the Sanskrit word for "lamp" or "light") represents a new paradigm in mental health support. Built on advanced AI technology and trained extensively in DBT methodology, Diya provides personalized guidance that adapts to your unique emotional landscape.

What Makes Diya Different?

Unlike generic mental health chatbots, Diya understands the nuances of DBT. When you share that you're having trouble communicating with a loved one, Diya doesn't just offer generic advice - she recognizes this as an opportunity to practice DEAR MAN skills and guides you through the process step by step.

Key capabilities include:

• Personalized skill recommendations based on your current emotional state
• Role-play practice for difficult conversations before you have them
• Crisis support with immediate access to distress tolerance techniques
• Voice conversations for when typing feels like too much (beta)
• Smart context awareness that remembers your journey and adapts accordingly

A Complete Redesign of the Diary Card Experience

We've completely reimagined how you track your daily DBT practice. The new diary card system puts you in control of what you track and how much detail you want to provide.
