Future You

A Conversation with an AI-Generated Future Self Reduces Anxiety, Negative Emotions, and Increases Future Self-Continuity

We introduce "Future You," a brief digital chat intervention designed to strengthen future self-continuity. Users converse with an AI-powered future version of themselves that is personalized with goals, qualities, synthetic memory, and an age-progressed persona. In a study, this interaction reduced anxiety and improved future self-continuity and wellbeing.
