The Path, a new AI therapy and coaching app co-founded by Tony Robbins and former Calm employees, has raised $14.3 million in seed funding. Unlike consumer chatbots optimized for engagement, The Path uses a custom post-trained open-source AI model designed for mental health safety, scoring 95 on the Vera-MH benchmark compared to a top score of 65 for consumer bots. The app offers 11 virtual AI therapists with customizable interaction styles and is currently free, with plans to charge $40/month. The founders were motivated by personal tragedies and a belief that LLMs can democratize access to personalized mental health support.
