Upload one real moment for private asynchronous review by a certified human reviewer. Invite-only beta access.

## How it works · Invite-only beta

### From the moment. Not the memory.

Most sessions begin with recall. Witness begins with what actually happened—so you get clarity, not another version of the story.

## At a glance

- **Recording length:** Upload up to 60 min
- **Feedback window:** Timing varies
- **Format:** Audio or video

## Here's exactly how it works

### Step 01: Record one real moment

Capture an interaction that matters—a conflict, hard conversation, or parenting moment. Record live on your phone, or upload a file you already have.

- Phone or computer

- Record live or upload later

- Raw beats polished

- One moment is enough

### Step 02: Upload securely

Upload from your phone or computer. Private portal, anonymous options. Delete your uploads anytime—you're in control.

- Encrypted upload

- Delete anytime

- You control access

- Simple intake prompts

### Step 03: A therapist or coach reviews it

A licensed therapist or certified coach reviews your moment and identifies patterns you cannot see. AI may assist the reviewer; the provider remains responsible for final guidance.

- Human review

- Pattern recognition

- Context-aware feedback

- Explicit release required

### Step 04: Get a clear breakdown

Timestamped notes, patterns, triggers, next steps—plain language—after your provider explicitly releases guidance.

- Timestamped notes

- Triggers + dynamics

- Specific next steps

### Step 05: Use it your way

Apply at home, bring it to therapy, or use it as context with a provider who schedules sessions with their own tools. In-platform live video is not part of the current beta.

- Self-guided or coached

- Context between sessions

- Bring to your therapist

- Track growth over time

## What you get back

- Patterns & triggers

- Timestamped notes

- Next-step suggestions

- Released guidance only

One moment can change how you see the pattern. Real clarity from real conversations—built for growth, not judgment.

## Why people trust the process

### Human-led review

Every moment is reviewed by a licensed therapist or certified coach—AI assists, providers decide.

### Private by design

Encrypted uploads, anonymous options, and you decide who sees your feedback.

### Action, not theory

Concrete next steps and patterns you can use in real conversations.

## Share the moment. Get the clarity.

Upload one real moment. A licensed professional reviews it asynchronously and releases guidance when ready. Timing varies during beta.
