My Emotional Support Bot™Reach students after hours
Students get a judgment-free place to talk at any hour, with no appointment and no waitlist.
For institutions
Support for students, beyond office hours.
Counseling centers can't be there at 2 a.m. Rigby is an AI companion that gives students a first place to talk, guided by social and emotional learning, and points them to your campus resources when it matters.
Rigby is an early prototype. Institutional pilots aren't open yet, and we're talking with a small number of campuses first.
How Rigby can help your campus
Rigby is designed to work alongside your counselors, not replace them.
A first layer of support
Everyday stress, overwhelm and loneliness can be talked through early, so counselors can focus on students who need them most.
Lower the barrier to asking for help
Many students never walk in because it feels exposing. Starting with a chat can make the next step feel easier.
Guided by SEL
Conversations follow social and emotional learning (CASEL) concepts such as self-awareness, coping and resilience.
Safety built in
High-risk conversations are flagged, and students are pointed to your campus and emergency resources.
Privacy-conscious insight
We're building anonymized, campus-level trends for your team, without exposing individual student conversations. An early version exists.
What Rigby is not. It isn't therapy, a diagnostic tool or a crisis service. It supports students and connects them to people, and your counselors stay the experts.
Where we are, and what we're looking for
We have a working prototype and are recruiting a first student pilot. For campuses, we'd like to learn what would make Rigby genuinely useful to your counseling center.
