About Cam AI

Cam AI is striving to improve the mental health of millions of young people, through early, real-time, psychological interventions, using conversational AI. We are responsibly developing an authentic and transparent chatbot using conversation driven development to automatically predict and personalise what relatable, professional therapists would say in equally relatable, highly nuanced situations.

We are a small group of professional mental health providers and engineers, with decades of qualified psychotherapy and machine learning experience. We are building a certified medical device in an agile and careful manner; the St Johns Ambulance of social media platforms, for a safer, healthier metaverse!

Trained by humans, tested on humans; things are darkest just before you turn on the light!

We are a Cambridge University spin-out, an early stage startup, with pre-seed funding.
