Recovery.com Expands AI Capabilities with Acquisition of RedFox AI

The acquisition reinforces Recovery.com's mission to simplify access to mental health and addiction treatment

MADISON, Wis., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recovery.com, the world's most comprehensive platform for mental health and addiction recovery, today announced its acquisition of Madison-based AI startup RedFox AI. The move reinforces Recovery.com's commitment to responsible AI innovation and sets the stage for the development of new AI-powered tools to better connect people with care.

The acquisition brings RedFox AI's conversational technology and its cofounders, Nick Myers and Brett Brooks, into Recovery.com's growing team. Myers will serve as Recovery.com's new Director of AI Innovation, leading efforts to integrate artificial intelligence across internal operations and into the company's product roadmap. Brooks will join the engineering team to help scale AI features across Recovery.com's platform.

"We see AI as a powerful tool to advance our mission of building the best place online to find mental health and addiction treatment," said Ben Camp, CEO and Co-Founder of Recovery.com. "We've already started weaving AI into our product and internal workflows, and the addition of the RedFox team will help us accelerate that work while keeping trust, safety, and patient focus at the center."

RedFox AI is best known for its product Navigator, a voice-guided assistant designed to help users complete at-home diagnostic tests based on FDA-regulated instructions. Its underlying architecture—a constrained retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach designed to minimize hallucinations—aligns with Recovery.com's vision for building responsible AI in behavioral health.

Recovery.com's relationship with the RedFox team, which also has deep roots in Wisconsin's technology community, began as they worked side by side for years at Madison startup hub StartingBlock. Myers, an award-winning entrepreneur and recent appointee to the Wisconsin Technology Council Board of Directors, is himself a familiar figure in the Madison and Wisconsin startup scene, with his leadership further strengthening Recovery.com's growing presence in the region.

"Since first crossing paths with Ben Camp, Jeremiah Calvino, and the Recovery.com team at StartingBlock in 2021, we've always admired their mission, and in many ways have always had a mutual value alignment - it's been incredible witnessing their momentum firsthand," said Myers. "Joining forces allows us to apply our technology and experience where it matters most - helping people get the right care, faster. We couldn't be more excited to join the Recovery.com team!"

Mark Bakken, Managing Partner of HealthX Ventures and board member at Recovery.com said, "I've gotten to know Nick and the RedFox team over the past couple years and I've been impressed by their focus on building patient-centric AI solutions. Seeing them team up with Recovery.com is a proud moment for Madison's startup community. This kind of creative partnership is exactly the type of thing that moves digital health forward."

This announcement comes amid continued growth for Recovery.com, which was recently ranked in the top 4% of the 2025 Inc. 5000 list and recognized as the #1 fastest-growing company in Madison. The company also just announced the addition of veteran healthcare leader Sean Kell to its Board of Directors, as well as an investor.
