Another grinder from India, building for mental health

Hey Guys, another grinder from India. I believe Agentic workflow has given us a chance to build something for the community. I am working on a project- a light, companion-based mental health check-in app.

The main goal is to make a person feel as light as possible, like a friend or a companion, know its limitations, and do a crisis check and check if there are any "thinking traps"

Currently its doesn't require any authentication to talk with the Companion; later, some of the features will be behind the pricing tier, like talking with a doctor (only what is necessary). The summarisation of the conversation will be forwarded to the doctor with consent.

I have a v1 prototype of the UI created from Google Stitch, which I love because I designed it with a prompt :P

Basically, the idea is to bridge the gap; not everyone prefers to go to a therapist or doctor, not everyone shares what they are going through, and people just want someone to listen.

Currently, everything is just a prototype: the spec, the design, the RAG pipeline, the backend architecture, and the vetted knowledge base.

Now about me: I am a laid-off Senior Frontend Engineer from India, not an IITian, but I worked with many. In my 8 years, I have worked across 5 startups. I understand who the customer is, their need, and their pain points; additionally, I am good with UX.

My major setback is that I am a Frontend Engineer with some experience on the backend, so if anyone is interested in understanding more about this, or ideas or feedback, please share.

Additionally, I am looking for someone who can fund or guide me, or add me to their team as a founding member.
