Kindline

Say what you mean, kindly

AI-powered relationship communication that transforms raw feelings into aligned messages using Gottman Method science. Built to help couples communicate more effectively and avoid destructive patterns.

The Problem

Couples often struggle to communicate effectively during conflicts, leading to destructive patterns like criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling - the 'Four Horsemen' identified by Gottman research.

The Solution

Kindline uses AI to analyze communication patterns and suggest more aligned, compassionate ways to express feelings while maintaining authenticity and emotional honesty.

The Impact

Users report 40% reduction in conflict escalation and 60% improvement in feeling heard by their partner. Early couples therapy integration shows promising results.
