Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI coaching as effective as human coaching?
For many use cases, yes — and sometimes more so. AI coaching offers unlimited availability, complete privacy, and consistency. Sophia is built by certified professional coaches (not just developers) and uses proven methodologies like EFT, somatic techniques, and cognitive reframing. For complex clinical needs, we always recommend working with licensed professionals.
Why is Sophia so much cheaper than human coaches?
AI doesn't have the same constraints as humans — no scheduling, no travel, no burnout. This lets us offer unlimited coaching at a fraction of the cost. Our goal is to make quality coaching accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford $300/hour.
What if I need more than AI coaching can provide?
Sophia knows her limits. If you're dealing with clinical depression, suicidal thoughts, or complex trauma that requires professional intervention, she'll recommend appropriate resources. Many users find Sophia works great alongside therapy — handling the day-to-day while a therapist handles the deeper clinical work.
