AI Tools

Descriptive profiles of AI models relevant to clinical practice in mental health. What each tool does, who it serves, and where its limits lie.

These profiles are not usage recommendations. They aim to factually describe AI models that your patients use or that you may encounter in your practice. For each model: what it does, documented mental health uses, identified risks, and our critical analysis. No rankings or ratings — reality is more nuanced than a score out of 10.
