We are thrilled to let you know that after hard work and many testing iterations, we have released the virtual persona Poppy on Alexa. Poppy is one of the virtual personas built using the PromethistAI Platform. You can get the Alexa Skill Poppy’s Place now.

Poppy is a virtual persona whose mission is to help people cope with their negative emotions. Poppy combines leading AI technology with the well-established method of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). While explaining the basics of CBT-based self-care, Poppy improves her understanding as you talk to her, adjusts her responses according to your feedback, and tries to give you appropriate tips for achieving mental equilibrium and well-being.

You can get the Poppy as an Alexa Skill now or learn further details at TalkToPoppy.com.

The current version’s development took us 9 months of close cooperation between our psychology experts and AI researchers and many iterations until we were satisfied with the result. Yet, it is just the beginning. We see that we are at the dawn of a new era of therapeutic methods. Those methods will be more structured, and they will bring the precision of computers and better optimization for individual users. Thus it is important for us to include more customers in the development of Poppy. This is the reason why we are releasing Poppy for Alexa.

You can get the Poppy as an Alexa Skill now or learn further details at TalkToPoppy.com. And we will be happy to hear from you on Poppy’s Twitter or Facebook accounts.

Would you like to discover what lessons we learned for our platform during the virtual persona poppy development? How did several psychological experts manage to develop Poppy’s individual psychological skills simultaneously? And which of the Promethist Platform’s ingredients were crucial for Poppy to reformulate the user’s feelings? We wrote the blog “How Can Multiple Psychological Experts Develop a Virtual Persona” in the section Lessons Learned, where you can learn this and more.
