MentisMimi · AI companion
Meet Mimi, a soft place to put a heavy thought
Mimi is the little cloud inside Mentis. It checks in with you each morning, listens whenever your head is loud, and helps you use techniques that actually work, without judgement and at any hour.
Mimi's many moods
A companion with a little personality
Mimi reacts with you: a sparkle when something goes right, a curious tilt when it needs to know more, a calm face when you need to slow down.
Celebrating
When you finish a chapter or keep a promise to yourself.
Curious
When it needs one more detail to understand your day.
Calm
During breathing and wind-down practices.
Warm
When you show up on a hard day anyway.
What Mimi does
Five ways Mimi helps in a day
- Morning check-in. "How are you arriving into today?" Then three to five quick questions, two minutes, and your sky for the day.
- Talk it through. Before a tough meeting, after a fight at home, at 2am. Mimi asks the next good question instead of handing you a list of tips.
- Rant mode. Speak or type without stopping. Mimi listens to the whole thing, then shows you the two or three themes underneath.
- Notice patterns. "Your sleep sky has been mostly overcast this week. Winding down before bed has helped, but late-night focus sessions are still showing up in your mornings."
- Guide a technique. Sorting what's in your hands from what isn't, checking a what-if, writing what a friend would say to your inner critic.
Looking for an AI therapist? Here's what Mimi is, and isn't
A lot of people search for a free AI therapist because therapy in India can be expensive, hard to find, or simply too big a first step. That makes sense. Here's how we think about it.
| Mimi (AI companion) | A therapist or counsellor | |
|---|---|---|
| Available | Any time, in seconds | By appointment |
| Cost | Free to start | Usually per session |
| Good for | Everyday stress, overthinking, sleep habits, thinking out loud, building small habits | Ongoing distress, trauma, diagnosed conditions, medication questions, crisis |
| Diagnoses or treats | No | Yes, within their training |
| In an emergency | Points you to Tele-MANAS 14416 and 112 | Can act on it directly |
Many people use both: Mimi for the day-to-day, a professional for the deeper work. If you've been feeling low for more than two weeks, or anything feels unsafe, please talk to a person. Here are free options in India.

Questions people ask
Is Mimi an AI therapist?
No. Mimi is an AI wellness companion. It listens, asks good questions and helps you use self-help techniques like worry postponement or reframing a harsh thought. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and it will point you to human help, like Tele-MANAS 14416, when you need more than a companion.
Is Mimi free?
Mentis is free to download and you can talk to Mimi and do your daily check-in without paying. Some longer plans and features are part of an optional subscription inside the app.
Can I talk to Mimi by voice?
Yes. You can type or speak to Mimi, and Rant lets you say whatever is on your mind by voice or text. Mimi then pulls out the main themes for you.
What does Mimi remember?
Mimi uses your check-ins, plan progress and past conversations to understand your patterns, so you don't have to explain everything from scratch each time. You can delete your account and data from the app.
What happens if I tell Mimi I'm in crisis?
Mimi is not an emergency service. If you mention being in danger or wanting to hurt yourself, Mimi will share crisis lines like Tele-MANAS (14416) and 112 and encourage you to reach a person right away.
Do I need to sign up to talk to Mimi?
