The product, in numbers.
A calm place to look at the hard part.
Six you are drawn to, and the one you are not. Symponia's AI companion helps you look at that seventh, gently.
It had to feel calm and private, and keep a spoken conversation going. It also needed the unglamorous parts done properly: sign-in, a free trial that cannot be abused, subscriptions and deletion.
Six things it does.
Six and a seventh
Each one is read for its gift, its shadow and the path between them. A lens, not a label.
Talk or write
Tap the microphone and talk, or write and read the reply. It is the same conversation either way.
Check-ins
A small check-in before and after each talk shows how you arrived and how you left.
Your seven over time
Choose again and the old seven is kept with its date, so you can see how you change.
Nine languages
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Danish and Swedish.
Private by design
Your story stays on your phone until you choose to keep it with an account. Account deletion is built in.
How it works.
Choose your seven
Name six you feel drawn to and one you cannot stand. Each is read for its gift, its shadow and the path between them.
Talk or write
Tap the microphone and talk, or write and read the reply. A small check-in before and after each talk shows how you arrived and how you left.
Come back and choose again
The old seven is kept with its date, so you can see how you change over time.
Who it is for.
People who want a lens, not a label, for the parts of themselves they avoid.
The voice screen keeps a spoken conversation going, in nine languages.
It is reflection, not treatment. If you are struggling, a therapist or your doctor is the right person to talk to.
Started by an osteopath, built with a designer.
An osteopath who spent his career where the body and the mind meet. After years of listening to people, he turned to depth psychology, to Jung and Hillman and the old language of archetypes, and asked what it would mean to meet yourself through the things that already feel like you. The archetype method at the heart of Symponia is his.
Heard those conversations from the start and shaped how Symponia feels in your hands: simple, private and calm. She designed and built the app end to end, with its backend, the symponia.io website and the App Store launch.
That understanding yourself should not wait for a crisis, and that technology can make silence rather than fill it. Symponia is a thinking space, not therapy. It is published by Boroto Ltd.
Built end to end.
The idea and the method are Alessandro's. Symponia had to feel calm and private, and keep a spoken conversation going. It also needed the unglamorous parts done properly: sign-in, a free trial that cannot be abused, subscriptions and deletion.
