Holly Wang uses DeepSeek for “therapy sessions” every night before she goes to bed.
Since the debut of the popular Chinese AI app in January, the 28-year-old has confided in the chatbot about her problems and grief, including the tragic death of her grandma. She has occasionally been moved to tears by its reactions, which have struck a deep chord.
“DeepSeek is an incredible counselor. Holly, who requested that her true name not be used to preserve her privacy, adds, “It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried.”
AI apps are now used in a wide range of tasks, from creating reports and Excel formulas to organizing vacations, working out, and picking up new skills.
