Sound familiar?
- Everything costs more, and life doesn't feel any easier
- Work — or someone at work — keeps living rent-free in your head
- Somewhere along the way, you lost a bit of confidence
- Thinking about family, money or the future makes your chest tighten
- At night you replay the same thoughts, over and over, instead of sleeping
— For nights like that, Nagomi sits with you.
What is Nagomi?
Nagomi (a Japanese word for calm and harmony) is an app that helps you put messy feelings into words, settle your mind, and find one small step toward tomorrow — matched to how you're actually doing today.
Three things to know
1. Free to use
Look after your mind without worrying about a subscription.
2. Works with the AI you already use
No new AI to learn. Connect your everyday ChatGPT and you're ready to go.
3. To steady you — not to treat you
Nagomi doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. It's a companion for the everyday work of sorting out your head.
How it works — 3 steps
- Connect the AI you already use (like ChatGPT)
- Say how you're feeling, in your own words
- Nagomi helps you untangle it and find one small next step

The four sciences behind Nagomi
Nagomi isn't improvised encouragement. It's designed on current psychology and neuroscience, built on top of generative AI.
① ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
One of the best-evidenced "third-wave" approaches in psychology today. Instead of fighting painful thoughts, you learn to step back from them — and put your energy into what matters to you.
② Mindfulness (MBCT)
A proven approach recommended by public health bodies such as the UK's NICE. Gentle practice in bringing a wandering mind back to the here and now.
③ Neuroscience
Rumination — thoughts going round in circles — is your brain's default mode network working overtime. Nagomi helps you step softly out of the loop.
④ Behavioral activation
Confidence isn't built by thinking — it grows from small actions and human connection. Nagomi helps you find one doable step for today.
And generative AI brings them together.
This isn't just another chatbot: Nagomi reads how you're doing right now and draws on proven psychological techniques to meet you there — a conversation designed around evidence.
Questions people ask
What kind of worries is it for?
Work stress and burnout, difficult relationships, money and future worries, low mood and lost confidence, and those 3 a.m. spirals of overthinking. A daily 20-second check-in and small practices help you steady your mind, a little at a time.
Can it treat depression or anxiety?
No. Nagomi is not a medical device or a medical service, and it cannot diagnose or treat depression or any other condition. If things stay heavy, or daily life is getting hard, please reach out to a doctor or licensed therapist — and see the crisis lines below if you need someone now. Nagomi is the everyday self-care that sits alongside professional help, never in place of it.
Is it really free?
Nagomi itself is free. Conversations run through your own ChatGPT (OpenAI) API key, connected once in Settings — usage is billed by OpenAI pay-as-you-go (typically pennies for light use).
Do I have to hand over personal information?
No. All you need is an email address and a password. We never ask for your name, phone number or address — you can stay anonymous.
Can anyone see what I talk about?
Your conversations are stored only in your own account and used solely to provide the service. Your API key stays in your browser and never touches our server. Details in the disclaimer & privacy policy.
