Heya Product Hunt community! We think the world needs products that can provide individuals with affordable 24/7 support, now more than ever. We are so happy to get to this point and share what we've been up to; as all of us at Deepen have experienced the difficulty we are trying to solve: getting t...
Thank you very much! Do you think such solutions will eventually start getting licences? It is interesting how the quality of the therapy could be verified.
Technology meets healing🚀 Deepen is like smt I've always imagined. Kudos the team for this brilliant product! ⭐️
Hey Product Hunt fam! 👋 We're thrilled to introduce Ash : the first AI designed for therapy. This is deeply personal to us. We've struggled, tried to get help, and realized that most of us have the same problem. We decided to train a new foundation model for psychology and build Ash on top of it as ...
Scaling up access to quality mental health support is so important, particularly for those who do not feel seen or heard in traditional settings. Is Ash able to recognize if a user may need more urgent help and suggest resources accordingly? @neil_parikh5
Looks really useful for people who cannot afford a therapist.
Deepen leads on raw interest score. Deepen leads on engagement ratio. Deepen leads on both metrics. That doesn't happen often.
These products share 2 categories: Artificial Intelligence, Health. Moderate overlap suggests they target related but distinct use cases.
Deepen is also tagged in Android, Health & Fitness, iOS, which Ash isn't. That suggests Deepen positions itself more broadly or targets an adjacent audience.
Deepen launched Sep 2023. Ash launched Jul 2025. Deepen has had more time to iterate and build a user base. Ash had the advantage of launching into a more defined market with clearer user expectations.
Deepen has a 0.30 engagement ratio (average), based on 248 discussion threads across 839 interest points. Middle of the pack for Health. Enough discussion to suggest real usage, but not the kind of buzz that indicates a category-defining product.
Ash has a 0.11 engagement ratio (below average), based on 89 discussions across 838 interest points. The low ratio suggests a launch that got attention but didn't convert that attention into sustained interest.
The 0.19 gap in engagement ratio is significant. Deepen generated substantially deeper community discussion per interest point.
Within the Artificial Intelligence category (11,606 total products), Deepen ranks #110 and Ash ranks #111 by interest score. Both launched in a crowded field.
Deepen is in the top 1% of Artificial Intelligence by interest. Ash is in the top 1%.
Pick Deepen if you want the product with the larger community behind it; sustained discussion and active users are your priority; you value stability and a longer track record; you need something that also covers iOS.
Pick Ash if community size matters less to you than engagement depth; you prefer newer tools with fresher tech.
Deepen: Your personal pocket therapist. Available for you 24/7, Deepen remembers and evolves with you over time; understanding your unique story. Need to get something off your chest? Want to explore your thoughts or your past? With Deepen, you can chat about anything
Ash : We all might need some help with our mental health. I used Ash and was blown away by how helpful it was at 2 AM. It remembered our conversations, and even challenged me, providing valuable insights. Isn't it crazy how AI can make us feel more human?

How directly these products compete. Three or more shared categories means they're going after the same user. One shared category means they approach the space from different angles. Zero overlap and they probably shouldn't be compared.
Comparisons are generated automatically when two products have enough data overlap. If the pair you want isn't here, the products might be in different categories or too far apart in engagement.
Either the product didn't meet our engagement threshold, or it doesn't share enough category tags with the other product to generate a meaningful comparison. We'd rather show no comparison than a misleading one.
Each product's data reflects its launch period. The comparison shows both products' engagement metrics from when they launched. The build date at the bottom of the page shows when the index was last refreshed.
Not yet. Current comparisons use launch-period data only. Post-launch tracking is on our roadmap.
Generally, yes. Engagement ratio is hard to fake. A product can generate artificial interest, but sustained discussion threads require people who actually used the product and had something to say about it.
