Gen Z faces rising mental health challenges, from career, academic, and financial stress to social media anxiety, while navigating the transition into adulthood. Yet, care remains costly and inaccessible. Traditional mental health interventions are limited by economic, time, and logistical barriers, highlighting the need for a personalized, seamless, and stigma-free solution.




Lepal.ai reimagines mental wellness by combining AI-driven personalization with gamification, making mental health support engaging and accessible. It breaks down wellness management into bite-sized, interactive exercises powered by large language models. Through AI-generated “spirit companions,” users receive personalized mindfulness guidance, CBT-based exercises, and real-time emotional insights. Game mechanics like progress tracking, virtual rewards, and customizable avatars encourage consistency, while mood maps and social features foster connection and a sense of belonging. By building a supportive mental health community, Lepal.ai helps reduce stigma and integrate well-being into daily life.




Designed to plant the seeds of happiness, Lepal.ai nurtures small habits that grow into a healthier mindset. Beta testing shows heavy users reduced social media dependence and anxiety, with over 70% reporting improved well-being. More than half developed a consistent mental wellness habit, demonstrating how Lepal.ai seamlessly blends into everyday routines, making emotional well-being effortless and sustainable.




Lepal.ai transforms mental health care from an occasional practice into a lasting way of life, empowering individuals to embrace their emotions, navigate challenges with resilience, and cultivate self-care with confidence.
