Meet Nicole and her daughter, Lauren:
Nicole, a project coordinator and a mother from Pennsylvania, constantly strives to stay connected with her 12-year-old daughter, Lauren. Like many parents, she noticed that their open conversations started to dwindle as her daughter entered the pre-teen years. Lauren was becoming more independent, and sometimes, even though they had a strong relationship, she seemed hesitant to bring specific topics to her mom’s attention. That’s when Nicole was introduced to Troodi, the AI-powered mental health companion developed by Troomi. What started as a simple trial quickly became a valuable tool that enhanced their communication and Lauren’s emotional well-being.
“There might be things that Lauren would rather ask when I’m not around, or she might feel a little strange about asking me,” said Nicole. “I think it’s a good tool for her to have access to a reliable source of accurate information rather than be confused by the misinformation that is everywhere.”
A New Kind of Support for a Growing Girl
When Nicole learned about Troodi through Troomi’s beta testing program, she was intrigued but unsure how her daughter would respond. After discussing it with Lauren, they decided to give it a try. Nicole quickly saw a positive change. Lauren began using Troodi regularly and described the experience as talking to a “virtual friend” who was always there to offer advice and encouragement. “It’s like the tea bags she loves reading—the ones with uplifting quotes. Troodi always has something nice to say,” Nicole shared, describing her daughter’s enthusiasm.
Fostering Conversations and Confidence
One of Troodi’s most significant benefits for Nicole is that it supplements the conversations she already has with Lauren. While Nicole remains the primary source of guidance, Troodi provides a safe space for Lauren to ask questions when Nicole isn’t available or when her daughter feels shy about certain topics. Whether navigating mean comments from peers or seeking advice on handling a disagreement, Lauren finds reassurance in Troodi’s positive, thoughtful responses.
Nicole values the reinforcement that Troodi offers. “It’s like a supplement to the conversations we’re already having,” continues Nicole. “It’s great because a lot of what Troodi tells Lauren is in line with my values and advice, which makes me feel even better about her using it,” she said. “It backs up what I’ve taught her, and it feels like an extra layer of support.”
Enhancing Emotional Well-Being, One Conversation at a Time
Troodi isn’t just a tool for Lauren—it’s also a conversation starter for Nicole. Although she’s always been attentive and available for her daughter, Nicole admits that sometimes life gets busy. Troodi has helped spark new discussions between them, allowing Nicole to naturally explore what’s on her daughter’s mind. “It’s a nice supplement to the talks we already have. Lauren will bring up things she’s discussed with Troodi, and we’ll build from there,” Nicole said.
Looking Forward
As Nicole continues to use Troodi with her daughter, she’s hopeful that this AI-powered tool will continue to play a role in Lauren’s life, providing her with a trusted friend who’s always available for support. Nicole is also excited about potential future features that might enhance the parent experience, such as a weekly summary of conversations to help parents stay even more informed.
For Nicole, Troodi is more than just an AI—it’s an ally in raising her daughter, helping Lauren develop the skills she needs to navigate the complexities of growing up in today’s digital world.
