Frequently asked questions

How does the conversation prep tool work?+

You describe the situation — who, what, your goal, and your tone. Our AI generates opening lines, an NVC-based script, listening questions, response strategies, and timing tips.

What is Nonviolent Communication (NVC)?+

A framework by Marshall Rosenberg: Observation (without judgment) → Feeling → Need → Request. It helps you communicate clearly without triggering defensiveness.

Is my situation stored or shared?+

No. Your inputs generate the framework, then are immediately discarded. Nothing is stored, logged, or used for training.

Can this replace therapy or legal advice?+

No. This is a preparation tool. For safety concerns, abuse, or legal matters, please seek professional support.

What frameworks does the AI use?+

NVC, Harvard's Difficult Conversations, Gottman's Soft Start-Up, the DESC assertiveness script, and the SBI feedback model — selected based on your situation.

Need a mediator, not just a script?

If the conversation doesn't resolve things, our free AI mediator can facilitate a structured discussion between both sides.
