CASE STUDY
YourHour was originally designed to monitor and reduce daily screen time with alerts. Facing rising demand for mental health support, the team enhanced the app by integrating a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) AI chatbot. This "AI companion" continued screen-time coaching while also answering mental health questions, providing personalized advice on anxiety or depression, and offering companionship—based on how screen time affects health and emotional well-being.
Extended screen use causes stress, sleep disruption, and reduced happiness.
Users wanted more than alerts - AI conversations soothe stress and loneliness like real human connection.
Trusted mental health content powered the chatbot's accurate and empathetic RAG-based responses.
Using RAG and credible content, the chatbot delivers accurate answers on lifestyle and mental health.
Empathy, CBT, and mindfulness help the bot address anxiety, loneliness, and emotional well-being.
Solution supports digital wellness by tracking screen time and suggesting breaks or offline activities.
