What Lovon actually does
Lovon is an AI Therapist you talk to through voice calls on your phone — you speak, it listens and responds like a human therapist would.
Lovon helps you:
- Process stress, anxiety, and emotional overload.
- Work through conflicts with your partner, family, or friends.
- Understand recurring patterns in your relationships.
- Prepare for difficult conversations and decisions.
How a Lovon call works
You start talking.
You share what's going on — a fight, a heavy week, or something you're worried about.
Lovon reflects and clarifies.
It mirrors back what it hears and helps you name feelings and patterns.
You leave with next steps.
Lovon suggests questions, perspectives, or small actions you can try after the call.
Sessions are on-demand, so you can talk to Lovon late at night, between meetings, or when something just happened.
Lovon isn't here to replace human therapists — it's here to give you high-quality emotional support in between sessions, late at night, or when traditional therapy simply doesn't fit your life.
Built on clinical experience, guided by science
Behind Lovon stands a scientific advisor with decades of experience in clinical psychology and relationship therapy — Daniel Kriegman, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and evolutionary biologist.
He has:
- Led treatment teams in high-security clinical settings.
- Taught at psychoanalytic and university programs.
- Co-authored influential work on how our minds are shaped by evolution and relationships.
- Advised on the acclaimed docu-series "Couples Therapy" (Showtime).
His work helps us design Lovon in a way that respects the complexity of human relationships, emotional safety, and long-term growth — not just quick "hacks" or feel-good tips.

Safety first
We continuously improve how Lovon handles sensitive topics, crises, and high-risk situations.
Respect for complexity
Real relationships are messy; we avoid oversimplified "one-size-fits-all" advice.
Continuous learning
We use anonymized patterns, feedback, and research to make Lovon more helpful over time.
The impact we're working toward
Every week, people use Lovon to get through arguments, anxiety spikes, sleepless nights, and big life decisions.
They come back
Return for another call
Many people come back for a second call, similar to how they'd return to a human therapist.
Not just crises
Use Lovon weekly
People make multiple calls per week, not just "once in a crisis".
They feel better
Leave the call lighter
On average, users report feeling better at the end of a call than they did at the start.
“I used Lovon after a fight with my partner, and it helped me calm down enough to actually talk instead of shut down.”
We see this as just the beginning. Our ambition is to support tens of millions of people and couples worldwide — and to meaningfully improve how they feel about themselves and their relationships.

Lovon is built by a small team of founders and clinicians who care deeply about relationships, mental health, and long-term impact.

Co-founder & CPO
I believe the best products are built when you deeply understand what people actually need — not just what they say they want.
At Lovon, Anton leads product and operations: from shaping the AI experience and onboarding flows to making sure we ship fast, learn fast, and keep improving week after week.

Technology should serve people, not the other way around. At Lovon, we're building AI that understands human emotions and helps people build stronger relationships.
At Lovon, Kirill leads marketing and growth, ensuring our message reaches people who need help with their relationships and that we connect authentically with our community.
Sergey Bakaev
Co-founder & CEO
After going through my own relationship crisis, I became obsessed with one question: how can technology actually help people feel closer and more understood, instead of more isolated?
At Lovon, Sergey focuses on product vision, fundraising, and building a company that genuinely helps people through some of the hardest moments in their lives.
