News Summary

Onix, a new startup, is creating AI-driven chatbots modeled after human experts to offer advice in health and wellness sectors. The platform initially features a vetted group of 17 experts, including psychologist Becky Kennedy and media-use counselor Michael Rich. These AI versions provide users with guidance rather than medical treatment, allowing experts to generate revenue without direct involvement. Onix provides a cheaper alternative to traditional consultations, with annual subscription fees expected to range from $100 to $300. Experts, like stress specialist David Rabin, appreciate the platform’s privacy measures and its potential to assist patients when they are unavailable.
