We do the hard things to remove friction for people with cognitive differences so they can move forward faster in life. In private beta. In our prior lives in telecom and enterprise, we saw how unformatted, non-standardized data was often the largest gap in being able to truly empower frontline-teams. We also saw how millions of mobile conversations would drive people to experiences that failed Google Core Vitals and WCAG 2.1 AAA accessibility guidelines. Our mission is to fix these issues at scale, in the edge, starting with the areas of life that cause the most painful experiences online.

Our mission is to prevent words from damaging people, their families and the brands they represent. Founded by two people on the autism spectrum, we realized over the years that what you don't say is actually more valuable than what you do. And it turns out that billions of people struggle with the problems that wrong words can introduce. Unwise words can ruin careers, cancel contracts, cost businesses revenue and frustrate customers. Sometimes it's a simple word in a Slack message, a text to a friend, or a Tweet that can cause ripple effects. This is what we are looking to solve. To look out for everyone so people can make more informed decisions. Comment on our posts if you'd like an invite to the private beta. Let's use words for good.
