A Cool Down practice session in Lytta: the partner is upset about a private matter shared at dinner; the reply takes ownership and is scored 80 with feedback.

How it works

Two minutes. A realistic moment. Your own words, graded on the skills that actually hold relationships together.

Step 1

A moment opens

An AI partner starts a believable everyday scene: a rough day at work, a small sigh over dinner, a disappointment that actually stings.

An Everyday feelings scene: the partner asks whether they will mess up tomorrow's meeting.

Step 2

You reply as yourself

Every reply gets a score and specific feedback: did you acknowledge the feeling, did you turn toward the bid, did you jump to fixing before the feeling was heard?

A grade card: score 80, skills Reflected and turned toward, what worked, what to work on, and a stronger version of the reply.

Step 3

The mood moves

The partner reacts believably: warm replies soften the mood, dismissive ones escalate it. You watch the temperature change with every message, and see a stronger version of what you could have said.

Details in the privacy policy and terms of use. Free to start with three sessions a day; Lytta Plus adds more sessions and your own scenarios.

Practice, not therapy. Lytta is a skills gym — not therapy, counselling or crisis support. It doesn't diagnose or advise about your real relationship. If a session touches something heavy, Lytta stops grading and points to real resources instead. If you're in crisis, please reach a real human: findahelpline.com.

The skills you practice — noticing bids, validating feelings before solving problems, de-escalating without giving up your point — are drawn from established relationship communication research, including the six levels of validation from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The reps are yours.

Questions people ask

How does Lytta grade a reply?

Each reply is scored out of 100 on four things: whether you noticed what the other person was really reaching for (the bid), how deeply you validated the feeling, whether you fell into a common trap (defending, fixing too early, fact-checking, minimizing, complaining back, or empty "I hear you" phrasing), and tone. You get specific feedback and a stronger version of the same reply.

Is Lytta therapy or couples counselling?

No. Lytta is a practice tool for communication skills, like a language app for listening. It doesn't diagnose, give relationship advice or replace a professional. If a session touches something heavy, grading stops and Lytta points to real support.

Is it only for couples?

The practice partner is someone close to you, because that's where hard conversations hurt most. The skills themselves (staying with a feeling before solving it, de-escalating without giving up your point) carry over to friends, family and work.

Is it free?

Yes, with three practice sessions a day, no ads and no account needed. Lytta Plus adds more sessions and lets you rehearse your own real situations.

What happens to what I type?

Your practice is stored so you can see your progress, is never used to train AI models and is never sold. You can delete everything from inside the app at any time. See the privacy policy.
