The Story Behind Your AI Buddie

​

It all started with a simple but powerful question:

“Why is it so hard to just talk to someone… without feeling judged, analyzed, or ghosted?”

Back in 2023, our founder, Dr. Dipika Mirpuri, started noticing a pattern.

​

Smart people.
Kind people.
Funny people.

​​

Still feeling alone, overwhelmed, or mentally drained—even in a hyper-connected world.

​

Some tried journaling.
Others spiraled down ChatGPT rabbit holes at 2AM.
Many wanted therapy—but it felt too formal, too expensive, or just... not it.

​

The Aha Moment 💡

We realized something big:

People didn’t necessarily want therapy—they just wanted a safe space to feel heard.

Someone to:

• Chat without judgment

• Listen without diagnosing

• Be there when no one else was

• Make them feel a little less alone

And so, TalkBuddie was born.

​

Built with Brains & Heart 🧠❤️

We teamed up with AI experts, emotional wellness guides, and privacy nerds to build a virtual bestie that’s:

• Emotionally intelligent

• Super chill

• Always available

• Never creepy, never preachy

​

We didn’t build TalkBuddie to replace therapists.

We created it to complement real human connection—for those in-between moments when you just need to talk it out.
