A technology attempt named Sonar Mental Health announced his new artificial intelligence called “Sonny”. Focusing on schools, this artificial intelligence aims to help students in schools with few “guidance teachers”.

Sonny appeared as a chat boat focusing on students’ spirit health. Students texting with this chat boat and explain their problems. Artificial intelligence also gives advice compared to the student’s issue. Whether or not to comply with the usual advice is something that the student will know.

It started to be tested in some schools
