Companionship that supports · clinical CBT with research behind it.
Different categories of product. Both have a place.
If you are in crisis, please contact a helpline or emergency services immediately. AI — Soriz Calm, Woebot, or any other — is not a substitute for urgent human care.

No. Soriz is companionship and support, not a medical or therapy product. Woebot is a clinical CBT chatbot built by therapists and researchers, with published clinical studies and used in care settings. If you need structured CBT grounded in clinical research, Woebot is the appropriate tool. Soriz Calm complements — never substitutes — professional mental health care.
Woebot delivers brief, structured CBT sessions with mood tracking and clinically validated techniques — it's a mental-health product. Soriz Calm is one of 20 companions in a life-companionship app — gentle check-ins, venting, breathing prompts. Different products for different moments.
Yes. Many people keep Woebot or therapy for the structured work and use Soriz Calm as a warmer daily companion in between. Soriz is designed as complementary support that never replaces professional care.
Calm auto-surfaces crisis helplines when distress signals appear — 988 in the US, Samaritans 116 123 in the UK, iCall in India. If you're in crisis, please contact a helpline or emergency services immediately. AI of any kind — Soriz, Woebot, or otherwise — is not a substitute for urgent human support.
For clinically meaningful anxiety or depression, working with a qualified therapist is the right path. Tools like Woebot have clinical research behind them and can complement treatment; tools like Soriz Calm offer companionship that complements treatment. Neither replaces a therapist, psychiatrist, or crisis services. US therapy averages around $200 a session, which is real — but helplines and sliding-scale options exist. Please don't rely on AI alone for serious mental-health needs.
Calm complements — never substitutes — professional mental health care. Crisis helplines always one tap away.
