Abstract

This article presents a conceptual approach to developing a web application that integrates an empathetic AI mentor for personalized mental health support. Unlike existing solutions, the proposed application is grounded in scientifically validated models, including the Fogg Behavior Model and Self-Determination Theory. The paper analyzes the current market landscape, outlines the theoretical foundation, describes the architecture and functionality of the web application, and identifies ethical challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence in the mental health domain
