Not sure what to text back? Paste a message or add a chat screenshot. KnoKno helps you understand what they may mean and find a reply that sounds like you. GET HELP WITH THE MESSAGE IN FRONT OF YOU • Write a reply: get a natural draft, tell KnoKno what you want to say in your own words, then edit and copy it. • Understand a message: get a second opinion on the tone, likely meaning, and what is still uncertain. Write a reply from the same result. • Improve your draft: make it shorter, warmer, more direct, or clearer about a boundary. • Keep the context: add their next message to the same conversation. Include your last reply if you want to give more context. FOR THE TEXTS YOU DON'T WANT TO GET WRONG A confusing dating text. A follow-up after a first date. An awkward request from your boss. A client asking for more work. A difficult message from family or friends. KnoKno helps you consider your response before you send it. It suggests possibilities rather than claiming to know what another person is thinking. REPLIES YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN Choose the approach that fits your situation. Adjust the wording before copying it. Copied replies contain only the message text, with no watermark or AI signature. You decide what to send. YOUR CONVERSATIONS, YOUR CONTROL Before conversation content is sent for AI processing, KnoKno asks for your consent. You can manage AI Data Sharing and delete your conversations from Settings. KnoKno provides AI-assisted message analysis and draft replies. It is not therapy, medical advice, legal advice, or a crisis service.
