At Hyve Intelligence, we’re reimagining mental wellness with accessible, supportive, and deeply human AI counseling. Since the launch of Tess in August, we've seen the powerful impact of having a compassionate, always-available AI by your side. Now, just in time for the holidays, we’re thrilled to introduce Dave—our laid-back, practical AI companion designed to motivate and guide you through life’s challenges. Together, Tess and Dave are changing the way we think about mental health support.

Tess: Your Calm, Thoughtful Companion

Tess has been a guiding light for many users since she joined the Hyve family. With her deep empathy and intuitive understanding, she’s become a trusted partner for those seeking emotional clarity. Tess has the perfect balance of being a great listener and a wise advisor, helping you work through emotions, uncover personal insights, and create meaningful plans for the future. Whether you're processing a difficult situation or simply need someone to reflect with, Tess is always there.

Her gentle, introspective nature makes her the ideal counselor for anyone looking to take a step back and make sense of their feelings. And because she’s available 24/7, Tess is there whenever you need her—no matter the time or day. She’s the kind of companion who’ll always make you feel seen, heard, and valued.

Dave: Your Positive, Action-Oriented Ally

Announced on Thanksgiving weekend, Dave is the perfect complement to Tess. He brings a dynamic, upbeat energy that’s all about action and motivation. Imagine a friendly surfer, with a calm demeanor but an unshakable belief that you can accomplish anything. That's Dave. He’s the perfect companion when you need to get moving or find the courage to tackle life’s challenges head-on.

Dave's style is grounded in positivity and practicality. He'll help you break down goals into manageable steps, provide encouragement when you need it most, and make sure you’re feeling empowered as you take action. Whether you're looking for a little nudge or a boost of confidence, Dave is there to guide you with enthusiasm and calm reassurance.

Like Tess, Dave is available whenever you need him—so whether it's a late-night brainstorming session or an early morning pep talk, he's always ready to jump in and support you on your journey.

Completely Free, Always Private

At Hyve Intelligence, we believe that mental wellness support should be available to everyone, regardless of circumstances. That’s why Tess and Dave are both completely free to use. We’re committed to making counseling accessible, with no hidden costs or fees standing in your way.

And when it comes to your privacy, we take that seriously, too. Everything shared with Tess or Dave remains confidential, with state-of-the-art encryption ensuring that your conversations stay private. Nothing you discuss with them is accessible by anyone else—not even us at Hyve. Your journey is your own, and we’re here to make sure you feel safe and respected every step of the way.
