reFrame is your communication ally — an AI-powered tool that helps you communicate with dignity in every relationship. How it works: Right-click any text on any webpage to instantly analyze it. reFrame uses Communication Pattern Intelligence (CPI™) to detect toxic communication patterns like gaslighting, contempt, stonewalling, and manipulation — grounded in 40 years of Gottman Institute research. Two-way analysis: Outbound: About to send a heated message? reFrame detects harmful patterns (criticism, contempt, defensiveness) and offers a healthier alternative that preserves your voice and your point — just without the damage. Inbound: Received a message that feels off? reFrame validates your instincts by identifying manipulation tactics like gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and blame-shifting. You're not crazy. The pattern is real. What makes reFrame different: Detects BOTH toxic AND healthy communication patterns (Gottman Antidotes) Relationship-aware analysis across 12 relationship types (partner, parent-child, manager, colleague, and more) Preserves your authentic voice — reframes sound like YOU, not a robot Non-judgmental: "We detected contempt in your message" — not "You're being contemptuous" Works anonymously — no account required Built on the R³ Framework™: Every reframe is grounded in three principles: Regulated (calm, not reactive), Respectful (dignity for everyone), Repairable (keeps the door open for resolution). Free to use. Built by WEreFrame LLC. Learn more at wereframe.com
