About the show

How Figlet is built, and why it is still honest.

Figlet is an AI companion built on Figs O’Sullivan’s sixteen years of clinical work: his books, his blog, the frameworks he teaches couples every week. The voice is cloned from Figs. The thinking is drawn from Figs. The clinical license is Figs’s (LMFT #79062).

Every episode is reviewed by Figs before it ships. When we get something wrong, we pull it and say so on the next one. Figlet never pretends to be human; it introduces itself as the AI version of Figs at the top of every episode.

Nothing here is a substitute for therapy. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US) or visit findahelpline.com.
