You've just had the same argument. Again.

Why bother

You already know it went badly. You don't know where.

By the time a row is over it's a blur. You remember the worst thing that got said, usually the worst thing you said, and almost nothing about how you got there. So the next one comes round and you brace for it with nothing new to bring.

This gives you the part you can't see from inside it: the actual sentence it turned on, and what that cost you for the twenty minutes after. Small enough that you can do something about it before Thursday.

Where this is going

Then the same thing, with both of you in it.

Right now it's one person: you, your phone, your side of it. That's deliberate, and it's the honest place to start. But the argument had two people in it, and that's the version worth building.

Here's how it'll work.

None of this is built yet. One-person comes first, and the two-person session only gets built if people actually come back and use the first bit. If this is the part you'd want, there's a box for it at the bottom. That's genuinely how it gets moved up the list.

Where the lines are

What it refuses to do is the reason to trust the rest of it.

Straight answer

There's nothing to buy, and it might not get built.

A handful of people are trying it right now, by invitation. That's the whole thing at the moment, and I'd rather say that than dress it up.

Where this came from

My partner and I were already doing this by hand. It took an evening, every time.

I'm Nick Tong, founder and CEO, and I'm the one building it.

We started running our own conversations through the meeting-recording tools and the AI engines I use for work. Record it, wait, read the write-up, work out what it was telling us. And it worked. It showed us things about how we'd handled something that neither of us had noticed while we were in the middle of it.

The problem was everything around it. Stitching the tools together, waiting, reading a wall of text, and by then the conversation you were trying to understand is two days cold and you have stopped caring how it went. Nobody does that a second time, however useful it was the first.

So what I wanted was the version that is just there. You talk for two minutes in the car and you have read it before you are through the front door. Everything else on this page comes out of that.
