AI Chatbot Development Projects in New YorkAI Chatbot Development Projects in New YorkBuilding Risemate — an AI companion for teenagers navigating stress, anxiety, and social pressure in a digital-first world.
Instead of trying to “remove teens from social media,” Risemate meets them where they are — with safe, guided AI support.
What I built:
AI chatbot using RAG, fine-tuned for teen mental-health topics
Structured guidance with community resources and interactive content
Voice-to-text input for accessibility and 24/7 mobile use
Clean, friendly, mobile-first UX designed for teens
Simple pricing model to reduce friction
Built with mental-health professionals, parental consent, and COPPA-aligned compliance to ensure safety, privacy, and age-appropriate use.
This project validates my work across AI product design, UX, and responsible deployment — not just visuals.
