In an increasingly overstimulated world plagued by burnout, anxiety, and loneliness, accessing mental health care remains a privilege rather than a right. But what if the next breakthrough in wellness wasn’t a new drug or meditation app… but a socially intelligent AI companion designed to meet people exactly where they are?

Meet SoulCare AI, the brainchild of social entrepreneur Otto Lehnert, a platform that aims to do something radical: close the global wellness gap by democratizing emotional intelligence.

“I built SoulCare AI to tackle three of the biggest barriers to mental wellness: cost, availability, and stigma. “It’s completely free to use, accessible anytime, and most importantly, no one has to know you’re using it…not even us.”
