Meta-analysis evaluates AI chatbots and self-help apps, showing moderate symptom reduction in social anxiety.

AI-based interventions significantly lower symptoms of social anxiety, achieving a moderate effect size of 0.36.
The study analyzed peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials from 2015 to 2025, following PRISMA guidelines.
Valid measures like SPIN, LSAS, and SIAS were used to assess social anxiety among participants in the trials.
Despite the short-term benefits, limitations include low cultural adaptation and insufficient long-term monitoring.
