Balance is an online AI tool designed to support people experiencing acute anxiety. Using the GPT-5.2 model, it helps you sort through anxious thoughts and reduce their intensity in the moment.
How Balance works
You describe what’s triggering your anxiety—anything from public speaking to fear of germs or major changes. Balance analyzes your text and responds in a way that helps you organize what you’re feeling, look at it from another angle, and find more realistic, supportive interpretations.
Key features
- Optional “rebuttals” you can turn on or off (counterarguments to anxious thoughts)
- Helps challenge catastrophic scenarios and irrational beliefs without dismissing your feelings
- Keyboard shortcuts for faster use when you’re overwhelmed:
- Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to send
- Escape to clear
Safety notes
Balance is not a replacement for professional psychotherapy, medication, or emergency services. It states it won’t respond if you’re in immediate danger and isn’t intended for crisis situations. It’s meant as a self-support tool you can use between therapy sessions or as a gentle first step toward working with anxiety.
