Connie Ansaldi closes CUX mental health AI application
Entrepreneur Connie Ansaldi has announced the closure of CUX, an artificial intelligence application designed for emotional support and mental health assistance. After four years of operation, Ansaldi cited the inability to secure a technological partner and the significant difficulty of raising capital for mental health initiatives in Latin America as the primary reasons for the shutdown.
While the platform assisted thousands of users, it faced scrutiny regarding the use of automated agents in sensitive clinical areas. In 2024, the municipality of Trenque Lauquen implemented CUX as an emotional support tool, but the agreement was terminated after three months following concerns from psychological associations regarding the lack of professional clinical oversight. Ansaldi maintained that the app was not intended to diagnose or replace professionals, but rather to provide orientation and alert protocols.
