I hear that you're feeling undervalued. What is one specific thing your partner could do differently next time?

I just want them to acknowledge I cooked dinner before leaving the table.

Analysis

It seems like this isn't just about chores. It's about feeling seen and validated.

Type your answer...

You're not broken.
You're just stuck in the loop.

Most couples don't have a hundred different problems. They have the same argument that keeps showing up with new costumes.

🍽️

The Dishes

It's rarely about the chores.

It's actually about feeling respected.

💸

Money

It's rarely about the math.

It's actually about feeling safe.

📱

The Phone

It's rarely about screen time.

It's actually about feeling like a priority.

Ottie exists for that moment — when you're tired of replaying the same fight and ready to actually understand what's underneath it.

How one Ottie session mediates your next conversation

01

You both join the same session

You and your partner enter a code and join a shared Ottie session from your phones. You're in this together — but you don't have to talk out loud yet.

Ottie separates you and listens privately

Ottie gives each of you your own private space. One at a time, it asks gentle, structured questions:

  • What happened from your point of view?
  • What did you feel?
  • What do you wish the other person understood?
  • What do you need going forward?
You can be honest without being interrupted, corrected, or judged.

Ottie brings you back together with a shared plan

When you're both ready, Ottie synthesizes what it heard into:

  • 📋 A neutral summary of what actually matters to each of you
  • 💡 Clear statements of what you both need
  • ⚖️ How each of you is "right in your own way"
  • 💬 Suggested phrases and conversation starters
You read it together. You both see yourselves in it. Then you talk like teammates instead of opponents.

Common Questions

Is Ottie couples therapy?

No. Ottie uses structured, therapeutic-style questions to help you communicate, but it is not therapy and does not replace a licensed professional.

Do we have to be in the same room?

No. You can join from different locations. Each gets a private flow, then you review the summary together when ready.

What if my partner won't use it?

You can use Ottie solo to clarify your feelings and get suggested scripts to start a calmer conversation.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your individual answers are private until you choose to share them via the joint summary. We do not sell your data.
