Results: In the 2 weeks following the launch of the chatbot, there were 393 registrations, and 238 users logged into the chatbot, of whom 127 were in the target age range (13-24 years). Dissemination of the chatbot for an open trial was via a URL, and feedback on the experience of the lockdown and the experience of Aroha was gathered via online questionnaires and a focus group, and from community members. By leveraging previously developed chatbot technology and broader existing online trial infrastructure, the Aroha chatbot was launched promptly on April 7, 2020. Methods: Stay-at-home orders under Aotearoa’s lockdown commenced on March 20, 2020. The chatbot included practical ideas to maintain social and cultural connection, and to stay active and well. Objective: Aroha was developed to provide practical evidence-based tools for anxiety management using cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology. This dynamic digital support was designed with and for young people to help manage pandemic-related worry. As those in Aotearoa went into the initial COVID-19 lockdown, an ongoing digital mental health project was adapted and underwent rapid content authoring to create the Aroha chatbot.
