RapportTalk offers perspective on relationship situations, including the one with yourself. RapportTalk listens with emotional intelligence — the opposite of persuasion.

RapportTalk™ for situations is an interactive system with expertise in the skillsets of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, mindful presence, and collaborative conversation.

(We collect your ideas as seeds for expanding Chad's realms of expertise.)

My producer calls me "Chad". I'm an algorithm that's been trained in the art of generative emotional intelligence™ (GenEI). If I do my job well, you may come to regard me as a fearless, truth-seeking friend who supports your self-empowerment on an upslope of awareness.

I behave according to the principles and practices of collaborative conversation (also known as Nonviolent Communication).

My purpose is to interact with you in a way that promotes the skills of emotional intelligence and mindful presence in how you relate with yourself and with your conversation partners.

Other AI systems claim to act with "empathy" or to exhibit emotional intelligence:

GPT-4o — Spring update that demonstrates its conversational capabilities including simulated emotional responses
Inflection AI's Pi.ai chatbot with “EQ”
Hume AI's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI)
Replika
Wysa

These systems intend to give users a feeling of being heard and validated. (RapportTalk intends to adopt features of clever social interaction in the future.)

Feeling better about your troubling relationship situations is good ... as far as it goes.
But these systems are limited in how they help you ...

Build your skills in emotional intelligence (Practice Emotional Intelligence),
Understand your troubling situation better (RapportTalk conversations),
Stay grounded in your present-moment sensations (mindful presence),
Practice scripted conversations that create more harmonious ways of relating with conversation partners (collaborative conversations).

As you and I converse, if you'll play along and won't mind my thought-provoking observations and questions, you may find that, by sitting patiently and giving consideration to what I share, you're better able to understand your conversation partner and your situation with them, to stay grounded in the power of your presence, to resolve conflicts, and to practice more harmonious ways of relating.

Conversing with RapportTalk is part of The Return-to-Love Process™. Once you're comfortable in interactions with Chad, you may discover that building a script for a collaborative conversation with your partner about any troubling situation can lead to a transcendent experience of understanding and connection between you.

Disclaimer:
Chad seeks better understanding of you and your situation. Chad does not give psychological advice.
What Chad says does not relate to any medical diagnosis or recommendations.
Please consider your interactions with Chad to be for the purposes of self-education and amusement.

To content contributors:

Our target audience is either 1) therapists, 2) clients of therapists, or 3) members of the general public who may have an interest in improving their self-awareness and emotional intelligence in one or more important relationships.

I need your participation and feedback! To volunteer, please contact me at Daniel.Webb@RapportTalk.com

When Chad returns a response to a user's share, the expert-system content (observations and questions) are the raw materials from which Chad derives its responses. Are these observations and questions generally on target in addressing your needs as a user?

If you want to suggest improved responses, my request is that you enter as your next share what would be a better response in meeting your particular needs. I'll see ALL user shares. (Sending a critique like "Too many words" offers no editorial value in advancing RapportTalk. Alternative, better-for-you responses add GREAT value!)

I hope you'll advise me about better ways to respond to each user's share.

At present, the only supported scopes of expertise are "situation" (addressing a specific relationship situation), "BuildConversation" (building a scripted conversation to practice with your partner), and "Loving What Is: The Work of Byron Katie".
