Frame vs Empty Boat

Frame analyzes your real conversations — not simulations, not practice runs. Record an actual interview, negotiation, date, or argument, and Frame breaks down every turn with AI-powered emotion detection, rhetoric scoring, and vocal analysis. HOW IT WORKS Record a conversation from your phone. Frame transcribes it, identifies each speaker, and runs three layers of AI analysis: • Emotion Detection — what each speaker actually felt at every moment, derived from vocal tone, not guesswork • Rhetoric Scoring — filler words, over-explaining, validation-seeking, hedging, and 20+ communication patterns scored per turn • Prosody Analysis — vocal confidence, pace, tension, and energy mapped across the entire conversation Every turn gets a Frame Score. Every speaker gets a breakdown. You see exactly where things shifted. FRAME ANALYST Chat with your AI analyst after any session. Ask what went wrong at a specific moment, get alternative phrasing, or understand why the other person's tone changed. The analyst references your actual transcript, timestamps, and scores — not generic advice. THE VAULT Every session is saved, scored, and searchable. Track your communication patterns over time. See which scenarios you dominate and where you consistently lose ground. USE CASES • Interviews — identify the exact moment engagement dropped • Salary negotiations — know who held leverage and when it shifted • Dates and social interactions — catch the signals you missed • Sales calls — see when your pitch landed and when you lost them • Arguments — understand the emotional dynamics turn by turn • Any conversation you want to learn from PRIVACY & DATA Recordings are encrypted and stored securely. Only you can access your sessions. Delete your account anytime — all personal data and audio are permanently removed. De-identified analytical data (anonymized transcripts, scores) may be retained for service improvement. Frame uses third-party AI services for analysis. Vocal emotion data may be classified as biometric information under certain laws. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Something happened. You're about to do something about it. Empty Boat is what you open in that gap. You write what happened. You get one story from Zhuangzi - a Taoist text from the 4th century BC - set against your situation, a question, and one thing to stop doing. Not "do this instead." One subtraction. Want another angle, you ask for it. Most people stop at one. Some nights there is nothing to reframe. You are tired and you are reading it correctly. When that is the case the app says so, and tries to name what you are carrying instead of handing you a parable that would only argue with you. Seven days later it asks one question about what you wrote. That is what makes the log worth keeping - not a diary, a record of which things still mattered a week on. WHAT IT ISN'T A chatbot. There is nothing here to have a conversation with. A meditation app. No timers, no breathing, no sounds. A course in Taoism. It will not explain wu wei. A streak. There is nothing to keep up. WHAT IT WON'T DO It will not tell you what to do. It will not comfort you. It will not say everything happens for a reason. It has nothing to say about your body, your eating, or your drinking, and it will tell you that rather than guess. Your log stays on your phone.
