On July 23, 2019, Amka.life was introduced as a chat bot that connects people to mental health services anonymously.
With Amka.life, users can choose to talk to either everyday people or professional counselors. The everyday people are part of a volunteer group, where they can listen to individuals who need someone to talk to.
As a volunteer, users are encouraged to listen to people who need a kind, warm, and non-judgmental ear. This service is accessible to everyone with a smartphone and an internet connection.
Amka.life also offers the option to talk to professional counselors, who specialize in various topics such as depression, anxiety, and coping mechanisms.
However, there is an option for payments, which is still unclear if it's for paying the professional counselors or for other reasons.
One of the unique features of Amka.life is the ability to give feedback directly to the team behind the idea. This approach is made for everyone, and it's accessible to everyone with a smartphone and an internet connection.
Users need the Telegram app to access this bot, but the interface needs to be reworked to make it more user-friendly. Amka.life also needs to consider a unique interface to include more people.
