Real you, 11:42pm. Six drafts in. Nothing’s right.
The Problem

You meant it to land. But you’ve been deleting and retyping for an hour.

Hard conversations are unevenly distributed in skill — and the cost of getting them wrong is enormous. Here’s why nothing you’ve tried so far is working.

  • ✕ Greeting cards say one thing, one way. And they cost more than this product.
  • ✕ ChatGPT happily produces “Hey, I just need some space right now. It’s not you, it’s me. I hope you understand. ❤️” — every line ambiguous. The recipient reads it as generic and the message doesn’t land.
  • ✕ Asking a friend takes two days and exposes the situation to someone else.
  • ✕ Winging it is how every bad space ask got sent.
  • ✕ Your own draft doesn’t know that want space — or want them to chase? is the moat — and so it doesn’t honor it.
How it works

Five taps. Three real ways to say it.

We don’t hand you a chat box. We ask the five questions a wise friend would ask — in the order they’d ask them — and write back something you’d actually send.

Step 01

Who is this for?

Partner, parent, boss, friend, ex. Eleven options because the relationship changes every word.

Step 02

How badly did it land?

A scratch. A real hurt. Something broke. We calibrate the weight of the apology to the size of the harm.

Step 03

Do you actually want space — or want them to chase?

Honest answer here changes everything about the message.

Step 01 of 06 Who is the space ask for?

The relationship changes every word. Pick the closest match.

Step 02 of 06 How much space do you need?

Calibrates the ask. A pause is not a separation; a separation is not a goodbye.

Step 03 of 06 · the moat ◆ Do you actually want space — or want them to chase?

This is the question a chatbot will never ask you. The answer changes Honest space ask vs. ultimatum-in-disguise. The recipient can tell the difference; the message shouldn't pretend otherwise.

 

Step 04 of 06 In one sentence — what’s the moment?

Plain language. No need to perform. We do the craft.

Step 05 of 06 What tone do you want?

Four real registers. Pick the one that fits.

Step 06 of 06 How long should it be?

Format choice. Text-message, email, or letter. Most space asks should be short.

Real people. Real sends.

★★★★★
“I’d been drafting the text to my mom for three weeks. Three weeks. Wrote four, deleted four. This thing gave me one I sent in five minutes — and she called me crying. In a good way.”

Casey M. Used /space for: an adult-child / parent message
★★★★★
“Picked ‘not really’ on the hard question and braced for the AI to ignore me. It didn’t. It wrote me a repair message that wasn’t a confession. That’s the moment I paid.”
Daniel R.
Daniel R. Used /space for: a misread at a party
★★★★★
“I snapped at a coworker in standup. The brief version was three sentences and honestly cleaner than anything I’d have written. Sent it before lunch, we’re fine.”

FAQ

The honest answers, including the awkward ones.

Is this just a wrapper around ChatGPT?

No. It uses Claude under the hood — but the value isn’t the generation. It’s the five questions we ask before we generate, in the order we ask them, with the third one (do you actually want space — or do you want them to fight for you?) that no chatbot would think to ask. Strip that out and you’d have a worse chatbot. Add it back and you have a product.

What if I weren’t actually in the wrong?

The hard question on step 3 — do you actually want space — or do you want them to fight for you? — reroutes the output. Honest answers there are the unlock; the message lands differently when the user is willing to be honest with us. This is the case we’re proudest of.

Will the words actually be good?

Yes. We bake 6 banned phrases directly into the system prompt, so they never appear in your output. Every option must do three jobs at once: the three jobs for this moment. If a draft fails any of those, the model rewrites it.

Why isn’t this a subscription?

Because most people only need this a handful of times a year. A subscription would be a worse fit for the moment — you’d feel obligated to use it. One-time payment matches one-time use. If we’re wrong and you do use it constantly, $9.99 once is already a deal.

What about privacy — do you keep what I write?

We store the metadata of generations (which moment, which tone, which relationship category) to enforce the free-tier cap and improve outputs. We do not store your context sentence or the AI’s generated space asks after the session ends. Your draft isn’t training data and never will be.

What if I hate the output?

Regenerate. Free, unlimited, no penalty. Most users get the one they send within 1–2 generations.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — within 7 days, no questions. Reply to your Stripe receipt and we’ll refund. We’d rather lose $9.99 than have you carry a grudge about it.

What’s coming next?

/no (declines & boundaries), /thank-you, /condolences, /goodbye, /space, and /money. If you bought all-access, every one of those is already unlocked for you the day it ships.

You already know what you want to say.
