Ask Our Modern Mind AI Bot

Every piece in Ask Our AI starts the same way: one of us takes a real question someone might bring to therapy — something like “How do I stop overthinking?” or “How do I know if therapy is working?” — and just talks. No notes, no filters. We record a few minutes of honest, unpolished thought — the therapist version of a “shitty first draft.” Then we hand it to one of our favorite tools, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, to help us shape that rough draft into something clear, readable, and grounded.
 
This process lets us take what could be a normal conversation and turn it into a piece we can share online in under an hour. Doing it the old way — writing, editing, and refining tone — might take days. Using AI simply makes it possible to publish more thoughtful material drawn from real therapy work instead of getting stuck perfecting every sentence.
 
Most of our source material comes from our own website, which is already rich with reflections and examples. AI lets us build on every piece we’ve ever written — each new post learning from the last. That’s part of the magic.
 
We use AI to clarify, not to create. The thoughts are ours. The responsibility is ours. The honesty — and the humanity — are still right here.
Below, you’ll find a selection of pieces we’ve created through this process. We’re also experimenting with shorter AI-generated summaries so you can explore the same ideas in different formats. Dive in.
