Future developments for Kōkua AI include adding features like a life coaching mode, dream analysis, and further integration of bio signals for real-time emotional support.

According to Tripp's CEO Nanea Reeves, the AI is designed to understand and reflect users' emotional states, providing personalized responses through mobile, immersive, and voice-based experiences.

Named after the Hawaiian word for 'selfless care,' Kōkua AI utilizes over 23 million emotional inputs from Tripp's wellness sessions to tailor its support to individual users.

Since its beta release in 2024, Kōkua AI has seen user engagement double, with over 45% of users remaining active for more than 12 months and receiving over 2.6 million five-star ratings.

The app has already achieved close to 3 million downloads on VR devices, with ambitions for broader mainstream adoption, particularly targeting young men and veterans.

Kōkua AI emphasizes ethical data practices, allowing users to control their data, delete information, and opt out of recordings, thereby ensuring privacy during interactions.

Recent research indicates that 80% of Americans believe AI can enhance healthcare, with 25% preferring providers that incorporate AI into their services.

Tripp has officially launched Kōkua AI, a mental wellness guide that offers real-time, personalized emotional support across various platforms as of April 29, 2025.

Key features of Kōkua AI include voice avatars with cloning capabilities, guided mental wellness check-ins, real-time image generation based on user mood, immersive environments, and gamified dialogue to boost user engagement.

The foundation of Kōkua AI lies in Tripp's patented mood detection and personalization platform, which enables dynamic adjustments based on user interactions and mood surveys.

The launch of Kōkua AI aligns with the growing acceptance of AI technologies in mental health support, with studies showing benefits in alleviating anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms through digital tools.

Tripp plans to expand Kōkua AI's reach into mobile platforms and smart glasses, enhancing accessibility to its mental wellness services.
