About Therapeutical.ai

Therapeutical.ai is a VS Code extension designed to help developers manage mental fatigue while working with AI tools. It prompts users with four brief questions about mental drain, goal clarity, review understanding and reactivity before each AI-assisted session. The extension tracks token consumption, repeated attempts, discarded work and review activity to provide a recommendation on whether to continue, clarify the goal, take a break or stop working. It generates a shareable work summary that consolidates token use and unread AI changes for later review. The tool operates with local tracking by default and does not require cloud participation, though cloud-based predictions can be enabled for more refined suggestions. Check-ins occur approximately every two hours during active AI work, with early estimates marked as experimental. The extension is currently available as a free research preview.

Frequently asked questions about Therapeutical.ai

What does Therapeutical.ai measure?

It measures token use, repeated attempts, discarded work and review activity, paired with four brief AI Work-State questions about mental drain, goal clarity, review understanding and reactivity.

Why measure mental strain and tokens together?

Work patterns such as repeated attempts and review activity are combined with your self-reported mental state to help you decide whether to continue, clarify your goal, take a break, or stop.

Does it diagnose burnout?

No. Therapeutical.ai is an experimental work-awareness tool and not a medical device or diagnostic service.

Does it read my code or prompts?

No. Source code, prompts, conversation text, file names and paths are excluded from research and prediction data.

When do predictions start?

With cloud participation enabled, suggestions begin after your first check-in. Check-ins and predictions occur roughly every two hours during active AI work, including after the first week.

Is it free?

Yes. The current research preview is free, and local tracking works without requiring cloud participation.
