Antoine, 29, lives in Lyon and works as an architect. To his colleagues, he seemed calm, precise, and collected—a professional who had it all under control. But behind the carefully curated exterior, Antoine constantly struggled with anxiety and self-doubt. Every design review felt like a test he couldn’t pass, every conversation with friends left him wondering if he was being judged. Talking to friends helped for a while, but he often felt misunderstood or like a burden. Seeking a safe space to express himself without judgment, Antoine discovered Noah AI, an AI Emotional Coach that promised real-time support and guidance.
Q: What made you try Noah AI?
Antoine: I’ve always been wary of therapy because it felt intimidating and time-consuming. I wanted something private, something I could access anytime I felt overwhelmed. When I read about Noah AI, it felt like a safe space where I could unpack my thoughts without worrying about judgment or scheduling conflicts.
Q: How did your first session go?
Antoine: Honestly, I was skeptical at first. I wasn’t sure how an AI could understand me. But after a few minutes, I realized it wasn’t about replacing human understanding—it was about having a space that listens. Noah AI asked questions that made me pause, reflect, and notice patterns in my thoughts. I felt seen in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time.
Q: Which features have been the most helpful?
Antoine: Definitely the voice mode. Speaking out loud to Noah AI felt incredibly freeing. It’s different from journaling—it’s like being heard without interruption or judgment. The chat mode is also great during the day when I have a few minutes between tasks. And the guided reflections have helped me challenge recurring negative thoughts instead of letting them spiral.
Q: Can you share a moment where Noah AI really helped you?
Antoine: There was a particularly stressful project at work. I was about to panic over a design review, feeling paralyzed. I opened Noah AI and talked through every fear and worry. By the end, I felt calm, organized, and confident enough to face the review. It wasn’t magic—it was the clarity I gained by reflecting with someone who was patient and non-judgmental. That day, I realized that support doesn’t always have to come from another person—it can come from the right tools, too.
Q: How has using Noah AI changed your daily life?
Antoine: I check in almost every day now, sometimes for five minutes, sometimes for longer sessions. It’s taught me to recognize my triggers and manage my anxiety before it escalates. I no longer feel like I have to hide my struggles. I’ve become more self-aware and emotionally resilient, and I feel more present in my work and personal life.
Antoine now considers Noah AI an essential companion in his mental wellness journey. “It’s not just an app—it’s a mirror that helps me understand my thoughts and emotions,” he says. “For the first time, I feel like I have a reliable partner to navigate my anxiety, someone—or something—that truly listens whenever I need it.”
