Thrive AI is a chatbot within the Saalvio mobile app, built around cognitive behavioural therapy techniques for everyday mental wellness. It supports reflection on feelings, brief conversational exercises, and noticing mood patterns, with suggested thought records, behavioural activation prompts, grounding techniques, and journaling cues. The maker describes use for anxious thoughts, stress, low mood, worries, and daily mood check-ins. The app is available for iPhone and Android in Canada and the United States, and its first language is English. The Free tier includes standard chat, while AI-guided exercises and end-of-exercise recommendations are on paid tiers. Saalvio Free costs nothing; Saalvio Basic is C$4.99 a month, Pro is C$9.99 a month, and Premium is C$14.99 a month, billed through Apple App Store or Google Play. The maker says conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, not sold or shared with advertisers, and not used to train models. Users can export conversation history and mood tags, delete conversations, or close an account in the app. Thrive AI is not therapy or a crisis service and does not diagnose or prescribe; it surfaces crisis resources when it detects high-risk language.
