Empathease is a mobile app that teaches empathic communication and disrupts mental health with on-demand empathy. Inspired by NVC, it uses AI-powered feedback, gamified learning, and interactive exercises to improve communication, especially in relationships. The MVP includes multiple-choice, voice-based, and word-order challenges, with real-time AI tutoring. Built with React Native, it’s cross-platform for iOS and Android. Future features include AI-driven conversation analysis, real-time coaching, and an on-demand empathy network connecting users with vetted human and AI coaches.

Research methodologies best practices existing models and potentially consult with others in order to gain a better understanding of how to best create Empy an AI that has compassionate communication with the user and remembers them.
A brief report on what has been learned and how to best implement Empy
$4,000 USD
1. Depth & Breadth of Research Comprehensive Review of Existing Models – Analysis of AI systems that engage in emotional intelligence, memory retention, and compassionate communication (e.g., GPT models, RAG systems, therapy chatbots). Evaluation of Best Practices – Identification of methodologies from fields like psychology, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and AI ethics to enhance Empy’s capabilities. 2. Practical Applicability Framework Development – Creation of a structured approach defining how Empy will process, store, and retrieve user context while maintaining ethical standards.
