WE LISTENED TO YOUR INPUT ABOUT WHAT THE CHALLENGE IS.

It’s not utilisation.
It’s continual engagement.

0.25%
Some EAPs actually see

Not 3–6%. Some programmes sit at a quarter of one percent. A benefit that exists on paper only.

Most users engage once

They register. They open the app once. They never come back. That is not support — it is a checkbox.

2am
When employees need it

After a brutal day, a hard conversation, a week of pressure. Not at 9am on a Tuesday.

Continual engagement — the employee who comes back — is the only metric that shows the benefit is working.

What Bliss does

Human care and AI care — combined.

Built for the employee your current benefit does not reach.

Human care

Practitioners matched by specialism, language, and cultural background — not just availability.

  • 30+ languages & cultures
    Therapy in the employee’s first language, with a practitioner who shares their cultural frame. Can onboard new cultures in 1 week.
  • Therapists, psychologists, coaches
    Rigorous vetting — application, two interviews, reference letters. Quality over quantity.
  • Sessions on demand
    No GP referral, no waitlist, no minimum commitment. Book directly.
AI care — the Therapist AI Twin

Every practitioner builds an AI version of themselves. The Twin supports the employee 24/7 — between sessions, at 2am, in their language.

  • Always-on first contact
    No booking, no waitlist. Available the moment the employee needs it.
  • Between-session continuity
    Picks up where the last session ended. The employee never starts from zero.
  • Three paths — employee chooses
    Human only. AI Twin only. Or both — the most effective combination.

Why the AI Twin changes the number

It’s not a chatbot. It’s an AI version of your therapist.

How the AI Twin works

  1. 1
    Practitioner trains their Twin

    Every therapist builds an AI version of themselves — their methodology, approach, and voice. Not a generic AI. Their AI.

  2. 2
    Employee matched to the right Twin

    Onboarding routes each employee to the AI Twin of their best-matched practitioner. Cultural context and language are part of the match.

  3. 3
    Continuous support between sessions

    Weekly therapy session with the human. Everything in between — the 2am moment, the daily check-in, the hard Tuesday — handled by the Twin.

Three paths for the employee: human only · AI Twin only · both. They choose. Bliss guides.

The result for

Google
Preventative, not reactive

Employees use it before crisis — because the barrier is zero. No booking, no waitlist. The Twin is already there.

Continual, not episodic

The important metric: people who come back. The Twin makes every day a touchpoint, not just therapy Thursdays.

Solves the therapist shortage

One practitioner’s expertise scales across hundreds of employees via their Twin. Quality multiplies.

64% vs 0.25–3%

Cultural match + AI continuity is what moves the engagement number. Not one or the other.

The EMEA gap you named

Where the network is thinnest —
and the need is sharpest.

Location
Warsaw
Languages needed
Polish · Ukrainian · Russian · Hindi

Huge migrant professional workforce. English-first EAPs reach the expat leadership layer only. The rest go without.

Location
Dubai / MENA
Languages needed
Arabic · Hindi · Tagalog · Urdu

One of the world’s top tech and shared-service hubs. South Asian and Eastern European professionals who need care in their language and culture, not English.

Location
Amsterdam
Languages needed

Google EMEA HQ. Highly international team. Second-language employees silently underserved.

Location
Nairobi
Languages needed
Swahili · Kikuyu · Luo · English

Growing Google presence. Mental health stigma highest where cultural context is most absent from the support offer.

The ask

One market. One cohort.
90 days. One proof point.

What’s fixed

  • 90 days

    Hard stop. Outcomes report at the end.

  • One outcome metric

    Continual engagement rate. Who came back?

  • All-in cost

    Setup, matching, AI Twin access, clinical oversight, and outcomes report included.

  • GDPR + EU AI Act

    Full compliance documentation ready for Google legal before Day 1.

What

Google

decides

  • Which market

    Pick the EMEA market with the lowest engagement today. That’s where the delta will be biggest.

  • Cohort size

    200–500 employees. Enough for signal. Small enough to move fast.

  • Languages to prioritise

    Bliss activates matched practitioners for those languages within 2 weeks.

  • What happens at Day 90

    Scale, expand, or integrate with your existing EAP Lyra. Data makes the call.

One ask

30 minutes.
You pick the market.
We design the pilot.

We go straight to: which EMEA market has the lowest engagement, what cohort size makes sense, and what Day 90 looks like for your team.
