Why did I create this app?
I could not accept that people who need support often cannot afford it. And even when they seek professional help, they may have to wait weeks or months for the first available appointment.
I therefore wanted to create an accessible space where you can start doing something practical right away, free of charge — better understand your reactions, safely practice difficult conversations, and learn to communicate without losing yourself, the other person, or the relationship between you.
Therapy often helps us understand our emotions, needs, and relationship patterns. Coaching focuses more on goals, decisions, and concrete steps. Yet an important gap remains between the two: how to translate what is happening inside us into a real conversation with another person.
This app aims to help fill that gap.
What is the purpose of the app?
The aim is not to teach you “perfect phrases.”
It helps you better understand your own reactions and find a way of communicating that is clearer, calmer, and more respectful. It is not just about recognizing what you feel, need, or want to change. What matters is being able to express it in a way that respects you, the other person, and the relationship between you.
The app promotes understanding, mutuality, and relationship repair — not snap judgments or cutting off contact. At the same time, it does not encourage preserving a relationship at any cost. Where respect or safety is lacking, limiting or ending a conversation may also be a healthy step.
How does the app do this?
You choose a communication scenario and the role of the person with whom you want to practice the conversation. A virtual person then responds to you much as someone might respond in real life.
For example, you can practice:
- expressing your own needs,
- setting or respecting a boundary,
- accepting rejection,
- handling criticism,
- resolving conflict,
- putting a stop to a verbal attack,
- reaching an agreement,
- apologizing and making amends.
After you respond, the app provides feedback. It does not try to determine what kind of person you “are.” It focuses on the specific wording and shows what may be helpful, what may complicate the conversation, and what an alternative response might look like.
At higher levels, the virtual person’s responses may be less accommodating and may involve greater pressure or unhealthy communication patterns. The aim is not to punish you, but to allow you to practice more challenging situations as well.
Is it really free to use?
Yes — the basic version is free for users. There is, however, one condition: fair use.
Every AI-generated response costs money. The app therefore uses a shared public budget to cover the cost of free practice sessions.
The limits are designed to prevent one person from exhausting resources that are also intended for others. If you use the app very intensively, it may therefore temporarily limit the number of practice sessions or offer you the option to increase your personal limit.
Who pays for running the app?
At the start I put my own funds into the project, and I continue to top them up.
If you like the idea of the app and can afford it, you can contribute to the public budget. Your contribution helps keep free use available also for people who cannot afford paid support.
Contributing is entirely voluntary. You can use the app without it.
What is important to know?
The app offers suggested ways to communicate. Its responses are not the only correct answer, nor do they guarantee that the other person will respond calmly, cooperatively, or as expected.
Real relationships are more complex than a simulated conversation. Before using any suggested wording, always consider the specific situation, the nature of the relationship, and your own safety.
The app:
- does not replace psychotherapy or psychological care,
- does not provide diagnoses,
- does not determine who is right in a real-life conflict,
- is not intended for crisis situations or imminent danger,
- may sometimes generate an inaccurate or inappropriate response.
If you are in therapy or receiving other professional care, we recommend mentioning your use of the app to your therapist, psychologist, or another professional.
If a practice session significantly upsets you, increases your anxiety, triggers distressing memories, or leaves you feeling unwell, stop the session, lower the difficulty, or stop using the app. If the difficulties persist, seek professional help.
Privacy
To access the app, you only enter your email address. A one-time login code will be sent to that address. The app does not ask for your name or password, nor does it require a public profile.
Avoid entering real names, addresses, contact details, health information, or other sensitive information about yourself or anyone else into practice sessions. Use general descriptions such as partner, parent, colleague, or manager.
What users must not do
The app must not be used:
- to plan manipulation, coercion, or psychological harm,
- to threaten, stalk, or humiliate others,
- to circumvent free-use limits by using multiple accounts,
- to share an account among multiple people,
- to send automated bulk requests,
- to present the app’s responses as a professional diagnosis,
- to enter another person’s confidential or sensitive information without authorization,
- for illegal activities or to disrupt the operation of the service.
What does successful communication mean to me?
To me, successful communication means being able to express what I need in a way that leaves us calm, respectful toward one another, and with a sense that we understand each other. Successful communication does not mean gaining the upper hand, winning, achieving a goal, or defeating the other side.
