And secondly, and then if you really do want to change, then some specific tools. And we use over 140 tools in Team CBT or what we're thinking of changing the name to Feeling Great Therapy so it has an easier name. and you can eliminate your negative feelings for that one moment, then that same pattern, you'll see why you're depressed and angry and anxious.

But the solution is, you know, and this fellow is quite intelligent in fractal mathematics. I can't remember the name of it, but it's...

First of all, we do have our first... data analysis from the latest version of the app where we're using Feeling Great AI. Our previous versions of the Feeling Great app didn't have full-blown AI, and now we're using full-blown AI, and we've actually trained our AI to be pretty much like David. We're trying to

take my identity and turn it into the the ai so so that when you're working with our bot it's pretty much almost identical to to working with david in in real time we're not doing therapy it's a self-help tool but we're trying to use all of the techniques including externalization of voices
