What is Mate? A free AI conversation for sorting out worries and feelings

Mate is a free AI conversation service. You pick one of two fictional psychiatrist-counselor characters and talk 1:1 to put a worry or feeling into words. It runs in the browser with no signup or app install. The characters are AI personas, not licensed clinicians, so Mate does not replace professional counseling, diagnosis or treatment.
