About
The Path is a global AI therapy platform designed to support long-term mental wellness, co-founded by Tony Robbins along with Calm alumni Anson Whitmer (a founding Calm team member who led data science and AI) and Tyler Sheaffer (who founded Calm’s engineering team) 12. Previously known as Mental, the company post-trains open-source model architectures rather than relying on mainstream commercial LLMs, in order to retain control over safety features and conversational parameters; its specialized mental health model achieved a score of 95 on the Vera-MH safety benchmark, compared with an average of 65 for general-purpose consumer AI 12. The platform draws on clinical frameworks including cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy 1.
