Tripp launched Kōkua AI, a mental wellness guide designed to deliver real-time, personalized emotional support across multiple platforms.
A growing body of research has affirmed the power of digital technologies—particularly AI-driven chatbots, VR, and AR platforms—to expand access to mental health support and improve outcomes: Lantern VillageSince its beta release on mobile and virtual reality in 2024, Kōkua has doubled session engagement (+100%); had long term retention with 45%+ of premium monthly active users using the app for 12+ months; was named Best Innovation of 2025 by the Aurea Awards and Best in Spatial Computing on Apple Vision Pro; amassed over 2.6 million in-app 5-star ratings, that have been used to train Kōkua AI; and Tripp is the most-reviewed mindfulness app on Meta Quest devices. The platform uses a novel atomic voice delivery method for responsiveness, and ensures user control with built-in tools to cancel, adjust, or correct input mid-session—critical for trust in mental wellness applications.
