It’s called Pi and it’s a conversational AI made to be more of a personal assistant. In the bit of time I’ve used it, it’s done far better than I expected at reframing and simplifying my thoughts when I’m overwhelmed.

Obviously, talking to a real person is much better if possible, but the reality is some of us don’t have the finances to pay for therapy or other ways to cope with the anxiety/depression that so often comes with ASD. What are your thoughts on this?

    Not sure what model it’s running or how powerful your computer is, but it’s pretty easy to run a llm yourself, even without a great video card. I’m currently running a docker image called Serge, which lets you download and run several models in a web ui. There are plenty that will run reasonably well with an average computer. There are some other options as well, but that’s the one i’ve found to be the easiest.

    If you can figure out docker, I think they even have a docker compose file you can just run.
