Noa by Anshap is an AI mental-wellbeing assistant built by psychologists to listen and offer support, using evidence-based frameworks such as CBT. It can connect people with matched, credential-verified specialists; the first consultation is free. The maker says conversations are end-to-end encrypted and personal data is not sold, shared, or used for advertising. Its psychologist-hosted Circles are one-hour, audio-only group sessions where participants may listen or type without using their real names. WhatsApp, iOS, and Android are listed as live channels, while Microsoft Teams is in pilot. For organisations, Noa supports configurable handoffs to EAP providers, internal counselling teams, or Anshap's specialist network, and lists region-aware routing to iCALL, Vandrevala, and AASRA crisis hotlines. Live reporting includes a web leadership dashboard, PDF cohort reports, and CSV/API exports of aggregated cohort metrics. Exports are cohort-level and anonymised at source. The free plan includes all core features without paywalls or hidden fees.
