The Changing Choices app is focused on engaging users through interactive coaching sessions, in which the client (user) and coach (AI powered avatar) actively engage in dialogue. To enhance the effectiveness of coaching, the app is designed to foster a therapeutic alliance between the client and coaches. The focus on coaching is what differentiates Changing Choices from other gambling recovery apps.

Creating A Connection

Clients have the ability to personalize their coaches. They can choose the gender and ethnic backgrounds of the coach. They can customize the voice of the coach. Choosing YOUR coach creates a stronger sense of connection.

The coaches have a great memory, which includes what the client just said during a session as well as what was said during the previous sessions. This information is used to personalize the coaches' responses. A relationship develops between the coach and user.
