Koko

Koko is an online platform that provides crowdsourced cognitive therapy, and is experimenting with using GPT-3 to generate automated responses to users while they wait for peer responses.

Purpose

Koko is a mental health intervention that has been utilized by nearly two million people, primarily adolescents. It began as a clinical trial at MIT, and is based on the concept of crowdsourced cognitive therapy. Through this platform, users are taught to look at the world in a more positive manner. Unlike other peer-support websites, all activity on Koko is supported and enhanced by AI.
