Here’s a small project I had made that acts in a similar fashion, but is instead intended for therapy.

It’s not much, but I’ve open sourced it so that you can see how easy it is to make something like this. The ruleset in chat.php is really all that’d need changed.

Interesting. One question, have you thought through the safety aspects? I've heard at least one credible account [0] where a chatbot is being blamed for a self-harm tragedy. And that was with a product that wasn't even targeted at people with mental health problems, presumably the risks would be compounded in such an application. What is your mitigation strategy here?
