CueCompass

CueCompass is a mobile + web AI app that helps people build practical empathy skills through short, realistic conversation simulations. Users pick a scenario (partner conflict, stressed coworker, grieving friend, customer complaint), respond in their own words, and get immediate feedback on emotional validation, assumptions, tone, and missed cues. It then offers better rewrites and optional “why this works” explanations grounded in basic counseling micro-skills (reflecting, summarizing, asking open questions). A daily 5-minute drill builds consistency, while a private “conversation prep” mode helps users plan for a hard talk without turning it into therapy. The app avoids fake positivity: it flags when the user is minimizing, problem-solving too early, or centering themselves. Progress is tracked with simple skill metrics and streaks, but the focus is on usable scripts and improved outcomes, not feel-good badges.
