TalkTether

TalkTether is a mobile app (with optional web companion) that helps couples have hard conversations without spiraling into defensiveness. It’s an AI-assisted conversation coach that turns “we need to talk” into a structured, time-boxed dialogue: each partner records a short voice note, the app summarizes both sides, flags likely triggers (criticism, contempt, stonewalling), and suggests neutral rephrases and clarifying questions. It then guides a 10–20 minute live session with turn-taking, a shared notes board, and an agreement builder (what we’ll do, by when, and how we’ll check in). It’s not therapy and won’t fix abusive relationships; it’s a practical tool for everyday conflict and emotional disconnection. The app also tracks patterns over time (topics, escalation points, repair attempts) so couples can see whether they’re improving or repeating the same fight.
