# Welcome to the therappai Developer Documentation

therappai is an AI-powered mental-wellbeing platform designed to help people access support instantly — through chat, voice, or video. This documentation gives you everything you need to integrate therappai’s core features into your product using a clean and lightweight REST API.

Whether you’re building a wellness feature for your app, adding support tools for employees, or integrating AI therapy into an existing platform, therappai provides all the essentials: users, AI sessions, content, mood tracking, and crisis support — without the complexity of building a mental-health system from scratch.

#### **What the API lets you do**

* Create and authenticate users
* Start AI therapy conversations
* Send and receive messages with the AI therapist
* Retrieve CBT, DBT & mindfulness exercises
* Log and fetch daily moods
* Store emergency contacts
* Access routines and wellbeing tasks

Everything is designed to be simple, predictable, and fast to integrate — even if you’re working with a small team.
