In their own words
GiGi
GiGi, also called HeyGiGi, is a web-based mental health education membership focused on practical skills for emotions, relationships, parenting and everyday challenges. Its material includes games, brain science, stories, films, tools, an AI coach and live community experiences. Each day brings a rotating game, a Daily Spark and selected articles, videos or activities. GiGi can converse, recommend content and support structured lessons and role-play; those last two modes are Premium features. Free access includes a game each day, up to three games a week, the first Learning Journey milestone, free articles and videos, and ten GiGi messages a day with an account. Premium adds a full archive, custom Toolkit lists, premium modes, a larger daily message allowance and gems each billing period. The listed plans are Free at free, Premium monthly at $9.99 a month, and Premium annual at $99.99 a year. Conversations are for adults and are not therapy, clinical care, diagnosis or crisis support. Signed-in conversations are stored until deleted and sent to an AI provider contractually barred from training on them.
ZenIA
ZenIA is an Android emotional wellness app for emotional tracking, relaxation and self-management. Its AI assistant, Nia, is designed to listen, validate feelings and offer perspectives. Users can record daily emotions, identify patterns, and use grounding and breathing exercises. A community feature supports sharing experiences and reading others’ processes, with posts translated instantly into any language. With a smartwatch, ZenIA can use heart rate, variability and sleep patterns as physical context. With explicit consent, Android Health Connect can provide heart rate, steps and calories. The privacy notice says the chatbot uses Google Gemini models and messages may be processed by Google services. ZenIA says it does not use data for advertising or sell information to third parties, and may store data in Firebase on Google Cloud. Users can access or delete data and accounts; manual deletion requests are processed within 72 hours. The Free plan costs nothing and includes guided breathing and basic Nia access. Premium has no listed price.
