Why this exists
Most advice about hard decisions collapses into two options and a shrug. This tool does something narrower and more useful: it shows you three specific futures, says which one fits what you told it, and names what would have to be true for that to be wrong.
The problem it is built around
When people get stuck on a decision, they are usually not short of information. They are stuck because they have framed it as a binary, and both sides of the binary feel bad. Asking a friend produces sympathy. Asking the internet produces a list of pros and cons that could apply to anyone.
What actually helps is seeing the decision from a position you had not considered, described concretely enough to react to. That is the whole design brief here.
What it does
You describe a decision in your own words. It reads what you wrote, asks one or two clarifying questions if the answer would genuinely change the analysis, and then produces three futures.
- One that follows from what you already seem to want, made specific enough to check against reality.
- A serious alternative that a thoughtful person would argue for.
- A contrarian read that challenges the assumption sitting underneath your framing, not just the choice on top of it.
Each one gets a recommendation, the strongest argument against it, the risks worth naming, and what tends to happen to people who go that way. For decisions that do not need any of that, there is a wheel.
What it does not do
It does not tell you that only you can decide, or that it depends on your priorities. Those sentences are true and useless, and the system is built to refuse them.
It is also not a therapist, a financial advisor, or a lawyer, and it is not a substitute for one. It is a thinking tool. When a decision needs a professional, it should be telling you that rather than filling the gap itself.
It can be wrong. It is a language model reasoning about a situation it only knows through a few paragraphs you wrote. The right way to use it is as an argument to push against, not an answer to accept.
How it is built
There is no account, no database, and nothing about you on any server. Your decisions live in your browser. That was a deliberate constraint from the start, not something that happened by accident, and the privacy page describes exactly what that does and does not protect you from.
