Stop going in circles. Guided is a private voice conversation that helps you untangle what's actually happening — a decision you keep circling, a conversation you need to have, something at work, a situation that won't resolve itself in your head. You talk. Guided asks better questions than you'd ask yourself, keeps you on one real situation, and brings the conversation to an actual ending — a decision, a next step, or the honest conclusion that it's understood well enough for now. Each conversation ends. The thread continues. With your permission, Guided remembers what mattered. Next time, it picks the thread back up and asks what changed. Over weeks, it helps you notice the patterns, decisions and commitments that keep coming back — so every conversation starts further ahead than the last. — Voice-first. Speak naturally, in 32 languages. — Designed to reach an ending, not keep you talking. — Remembers the threads you choose. You can see, correct and delete what it remembers. — A focused conversation every day, whenever you need it. — Private. No ads. Your conversations are never sold. Try Guided free: Guided+ starts with a 7-day free trial, then $29.99/month. Cancel anytime. Guided is not therapy and does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you're in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline.
