## What is Brace?

You've been putting off this conversation for weeks. Brace gets you ready in 90 seconds — with a plan built around your exact situation, an AI that plays the other person so you can rehearse, and drafts you can send when words need to be written.

TELL BRACE WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY
Pick a situation or describe your own: asking for a raise, setting a boundary with a parent, ending a relationship, confronting a friend, apologizing for something serious, pushing back on your boss, or saying no without guilt. Answer three focused questions. Get a plan built around what you actually told us - not a template.

YOUR PLAN COVERS EVERYTHING

• Opening lines in three tones: gentle, direct, or warm
• The exact reactions to expect - and how to handle each one
• What not to say, and why it would backfire
• The right moment and setting to have this conversation
• One line to hold onto when nerves kick in

PRACTICE UNTIL YOU FEEL READY
Brace's AI steps into the role of the other person — your manager, your parent, your friend. It responds the way they realistically would: a little guarded if they tend to dismiss you, emotional if that's their pattern. Rehearse the hardest moments as many times as you need. No judgment. No consequences. Just practice.

OR PUT IT IN WRITING
For messages that need to be sent rather than spoken, get three drafts instantly: gentle, firm, and short. Adjust the tone with a tap. Copy it when it finally sounds like you.

-----
Brace is a communication coach, not a mental health or medical app. If you're in a crisis or considering harm to yourself or others, please reach out to someone you trust.
