What ALYGN is not

A coaching tool, not a psychological service

ALYGN is communication coaching for everyday messages. It does not diagnose, assess or treat, it is not a clinical or psychological service, and it does not replace the work you do with your clients. Its reads are generated by AI and can be wrong. It is not an emergency service: a client in danger should call their local emergency number.

How it helps

What ALYGN gives you

📋
Structured session reports
Clients generate a plain-language communication report — archetype, top patterns, perception gap score. Review it together at the start of a session.
🔬
Evidence-based foundations
ALYGN's 7 archetypes are grounded in decades of communication and relationship science — the patterns behind why messages land the way they do. The language will feel familiar.
🔒
Private by design
What a client analyses is sent to the AI, then stored only in their own private space — visible only to them, deletable anytime, never shared, and never used to train AI models. No PHI required.
📈
Between-session tracking
Clients decode messages from their daily life — with partners, family, or colleagues. Over time, ALYGN tracks perception gap trends, flag frequency, and EQ score.
🧬
Archetype as shared language
The 7 archetypes give therapist and client a shared vocabulary for communication patterns — one you can reference in shorthand throughout sessions.
💬
Free for clients
No app install, no account, no cost. Clients open alygn.me on any device. You can recommend it without worrying about friction or payment barriers.
The session report

What the report looks like

Clients tap "Report for therapist" on their ALYGN profile and get plain-language text they can paste into a message or share directly.

Communication archetype — e.g. "The Absolutist: uses 'always'/'never' under stress (a defensiveness-triggering pattern)"
Perception gap score — Average % gap between intended meaning and perceived impact across decoded messages
Top 3 communication patterns — With frequency counts (e.g. "Absolute language: 7 times, Blame: 4 times")
Last 3 high-impact messages — Headlines of the most emotionally charged recent decodes (no raw text)
Professional disclaimer — Clearly marked as self-reflection data, not clinical assessment
The framework

7 archetypes — based on established research

Each archetype maps to communication patterns you'll recognise from decades of relationship and communication research.
