Testimonials
"It's like having the frameworks from books I already trust—in a conversation that actually knows my situation."
Jason L.
"I’ve read so much about relationships, but this was the first time the ideas felt connected to my situation. It helped me understand why I kept reacting the same way—and what to do differently."
Ava R.
"I turned to The Power of Now while dealing with an illness. Talking with the book’s Author AI helped me find meaning in what I was going through and stay grounded in the present."
Ethan J.
Why we built PowerYou
"I survived breast cancer when I doing my PhD at Columbia University.
When I was going through the treatment, I turned to books because I was looking for more than information—I was looking for guidance on how to live through fear, loss and uncertainty.
Books gave me wisdom and perspective, but they couldn't know me or respond to what I was actually facing.
That became the question behind PowerYou: What if the thinkers we already trust could guide us personally through the moments that shape our lives?"
Vivian Lei, PhD
Founder, PowerYou AI

FAQ
What is PowerYou AI?
PowerYou AI is a private AI companion for your inner world. It helps you process what you’re feeling, get to the truth faster, calm your mind, and build mental fitness over time.
We think of it as infrastructure for mental fitness: not just a place to reflect after the fact, but support you can use in real time when you need clarity, grounding, or a better next step.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Kris remembers your inner world over time, so each conversation builds on your patterns, triggers, values, and growth instead of starting from zero.
It’s designed to collapse the time-to-truth, helping people open up faster and reach useful insight without the fear of judgment.
It also gives you real-time reps for the mind, using supportive prompts and grounding tools to help bridge the gap between insight and real change.
How is PowerYou different from ChatGPT or Claude?
General AI assistants are built for broad usefulness. PowerYou is built for your inner world.
Kris connects moments over time, recognizes emotional patterns, and remembers what matters so support builds instead of resetting every conversation.
It’s also designed around coaching modalities and psychological loops, helping you reflect, regulate, and take a grounded next step — not just get a smart answer.
The goal is real-world change: stronger self-trust, healthier relationships, and more agency in your actual life.
How does PowerYou protect my privacy and safety?
Your privacy is a core part of how PowerYou is designed.
Conversations with Kris happen in a secure, private environment, and your data is protected using industry-standard security practices.
PowerYou also includes built-in AI safety guardrails to ensure responses remain supportive, responsible, and emotionally safe.
Most importantly, your conversations are never shared publicly, so you can speak openly without fear of judgment.
What if I’m not sure what to say?
That’s completely normal.
Kris gently guides the conversation with thoughtful questions and prompts, so you don’t need to know exactly where to start.
YOU CAN START WITH SOMETHING SMALL
“I’ve been feeling overwhelmed.”
“I don’t know why I feel this way.”
“Something has been bothering me lately.”
From there, Kris helps you untangle what you're feeling and find clarity — one step at a time.
