Thrive AI is a chatbot in the Saalvio mobile app that uses cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help people reflect on feelings, try short conversational exercises and notice mood patterns. It can suggest thought records, behavioural activation prompts, grounding techniques and journaling cues for everyday concerns such as stress, worries, anxious thoughts and low mood. It is available on iPhone and Android in Canada and the United States, with English as its first language. The free tier includes standard chat; AI-guided exercises and recommendations at the end of an exercise require a paid tier. Plans are free, 4.99 CAD per month, 9.99 CAD per month and 14.99 CAD per month. The maker says conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, are not sold or shared with advertisers, and are not used to train models. In-app controls let users export conversation history and mood tags, delete conversations or close an account. Thrive AI is not therapy or a crisis service and does not diagnose or prescribe; it surfaces crisis resources when high-risk language is detected.
Who it is for
It may suit people looking for mobile support with everyday mood check-ins, stress or worries, especially those interested in brief CBT-style exercises. It is not a substitute for therapy or crisis support.
