About

Care that carries forward.

Cora is built by Thrive360ai — a small team that believes mental health care is not one-size-fits-all, and that the relationship between a therapist and their patient is the medicine.

Our thesis

Therapy is the most relational care we have.

Most "AI in mental health" companies start with the patient and the model, and bolt on a therapist. We started with the therapist and asked one question: what would it take to extend their care, in their voice, to the 167 hours a week the patient isn't with them?

Cora is the answer. A clinician-customized companion that keeps therapy going, captures adherence, and unlocks reimbursement that pays for itself from day one. Grounded in CBT, ACT, and DBT, configurable to your clinical voice, and designed to feel calm — never clinical.
