Frequently Asked Questions

This app is NOT for crisis situations. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a severe mental health crisis, please contact emergency services (like 911 or your local equivalent) or a crisis hotline immediately. Resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988 in the US & Canada) are available 24/7.

No, absolutely not. How You Doing? is designed as a supportive tool for everyday well-being, offering a space for friendly, AI-driven conversation and fun interactions. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified psychologist, therapist, or other healthcare provider. Think of it as a friendly journal or a supportive companion, not a doctor.

We take your privacy very seriously. Here’s a breakdown:

• No Account Needed: You can use the app anonymously without creating an account or signing in.
• Conversation Processing: Your chat messages are sent to our AI provider's API to generate responses. We have instructed the API not to use this data for training its models.
• We Don't Store Chats: Our own systems do not store or log your conversation history. Once your session is over, the conversation is gone from our servers.
• Share with Care: Because your messages are processed by a third party, we strongly advise you not to share any sensitive personal information, such as your full name, address, financial details, or specific identifying life events.

The app uses a sophisticated Large Language Model (LLM). It has been trained on a vast amount of text to understand patterns, context, and sentiment in language. It's designed to generate helpful, empathetic, and coherent responses based on your input. It is an advanced AI, but it is not a person, does not have feelings, and its knowledge is based on the data it was trained on.

This app is for anyone looking for a bit of daily support, a place to vent, or just a friendly chat. It's great for moments when you want to explore your thoughts and feelings in a private, non-judgmental space. It is intended for adults and young adults. It may not be suitable for children without parental guidance and oversight.

Yes, How You Doing? is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, subscriptions, or fees required to access its core features.

This app was built by a small team passionate about creating positive and accessible tools for mental well-being. We are always looking to improve and would love to hear from you! For questions, feedback, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected].
