Mentavita Team

People building Mentavita

We combine product, AI, and mental wellbeing expertise to make support clear, safe, and genuinely useful every day.

Mission

Make psychological support available every day — and never leave a person alone when a specialist is needed

Mentavita helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings in the moment: an AI companion is available 24/7 and remembers context, the journal and mood tracker show the dynamics, techniques and practices suggest a concrete next step. When live work is needed, the service helps find a verified psychologist and hold a consultation in the same app.

AI is the first step of support, not a replacement for a specialist
A psychologist is a few steps away, no searching elsewhere
People control their own data and the AI’s memory

Values

Empathy in product

Every decision is validated through user benefit and comfort in vulnerable moments.

Science-based approach

We rely on psychoeducation practices and adapt them carefully into digital experiences.

Privacy by default

Security and data protection are embedded into our product and engineering workflows.

People first

Our team unites product specialists, engineers, and mental wellbeing consultants.

Product principles

Safety and ethics are part of the product, not an add-on

We work with people in vulnerable states, so the product follows rules that do not bend for metrics.

Crisis protocol

When a conversation shows signs of crisis, the AI stops the regular dialog and shows emergency contacts (112 and the Russian helpline 8-800-2000-122).

AI does not diagnose

The AI supports reflection and suggests self-help techniques, but it does not treat and says clearly when it is time to see a specialist.

Psychologists involved

AI scenarios, techniques, and wording for difficult situations are designed together with the team’s psychological consultants.

Verified specialists

We check education documents before a psychologist appears in the catalog. Tools like bilateral stimulation are available only to specialists with verified training and only with client consent.

Users stay in control

Ask the AI to forget a fact, delete entries, export your data, or delete your account — no support tickets needed.

Quality through feedback

👍/👎 ratings on AI answers help us find weak spots. In quality tools users are identified by a pseudonym, not a name.

How we work

We build a product culture where quality, speed, and care for the user act as one system.
