Is Told therapy?
No. Told is voice AI for venting — a place to talk out loud about whatever’s weighing on you. It’s not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you’re in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from just talking to ChatGPT?
Three ways. First, Told is voice-first — you talk, not type. Second, Told remembers everything across sittings. When you come back weeks later, it already knows your context. Third, Told is specifically designed to listen and understand how you feel over time, not just respond to a single prompt.
What makes Told different from other mental health apps?
Most emotional support apps are text-first. Told is built for voice from the ground up. Most don’t remember past conversations. Told builds a persistent understanding of you that deepens over time. And most focus on in-the-moment support. Told remembers what matters to you and knows when to push back and when to just listen.
Who can see my conversations?
No one. Your conversations are encrypted and private. We don’t review them, sell them, or use them to train models. You can delete your data at any time.
Is it free?
Told is free during early access. We’ll introduce a subscription plan later, but there will always be a meaningful free tier.
What languages does Told support?
Told currently supports English, Korean, and Japanese — both for the voice conversation and the app interface.
Does Told remember what I talk about?
Yes. As you talk to Told over multiple sittings, it remembers what matters to you — the things that keep coming up, the situations that weigh on you, the people and places that are important in your life. Everything stays private and is only used to make your conversations feel more natural and connected.
Can I use Told if I’m already in therapy?
Absolutely. Many people use Told between therapy sittings to talk through what comes up day-to-day. Told is not a replacement for therapy — it’s a complement. Think of it as a place to vent between appointments.
