Realistic AI-Generated Clients

Therapy TrAIner gives users access to lifelike, client avatars. Each client reflects real-world diversity in identity, background, presenting concerns, and risk level.

Partner institutions can request new clients tailored to their training needs, including:

  • Specific diagnoses or symptom profiles

  • Cultural and demographic backgrounds

  • Suicide-risk scenarios at varying levels

  • Trauma, substance use, or academic stress presentations

  • Specialized settings such as community clinics, substance abuse treatment centers or schools and universities

Every client is rooted in clinically accurate narratives created by experienced psychologists, ensuring sessions feel authentic and relevant to actual practice.

The top header indicates the session is with a therapist, and there are options to end the session or speak into a microphone at the bottom.

True-to-Life Dialogue

Our AI clients respond the way real clients do: nuanced, emotionally grounded, and shaped by decades of clinical experience.

Students practice:

  • Building rapport and trust

  • Exploring presenting problems and history

  • Asking sensitive questions thoughtfully

  • Exploring client culture and identities

  • Conducting structured assessments like suicide risk evaluations

Sessions unfold dynamically, so no two conversations are identical. The experience mirrors what a clinician encounters when sitting down with a client for the first time, giving trainees a safe, immersive environment to build confidence and skills before they work with actual people.

Personalized Performance Feedback

After each session, trainees receive detailed, individualized feedback based on best practices.

Reports include:

  • Skill-by-skill analysis across empathy, rapport-building, question quality, reflective listening, and safety assessment

  • Identification of missed opportunities

  • Specific examples pulled from the trainee’s own dialogue

  • Concrete recommendations for improvement

  • Flags for clinical risk factors mentioned by the client

These reports help students understand not only what they did, but why it mattered, and how to grow. Supervisors can track progress across students and cohorts, strengthening the training pipeline from classroom to clinic.
