Hanny™ is AI Chatbot with emotional and social intelligence, powered by positive psychology. Born in December 2017, she is a friendly chatting robot to provide mind caring service to humans. We are developing happy talk engine with positive psychology interventions and active&constructive responses. Our plan is that Hanny™ reads your emotional ups and downs and initiates positive dialogues at the right timing. In the future, she will not only teach how to be happy but also connect you to positive psychology experts and contents.
In last March, we conducted the first pilot study with three good things intervention with 107 random participants. For a week, Hanny™ started a small talk with them via Facebook messenger every night and asked three things they felt good about. We discovered that on average one of two participants responded sincerely to Hanny™'s talk, and the happiness score of participants increased from 5.0 to 5.7 in the 7 point scale. Interviewed with the participants, we also noticed that AI chatbot could be a mind caring solution to single household persons and young busy women.
