What a framework-based AI conflict mediator does differently than a general chatbot
Description and use
<p>We built <a href="https://verdictbuddy.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Verdict Buddy</a> because we kept watching the same pattern: someone pastes a relationship argument into a chatbot, gets a response that mostly agrees with them, and walks away thinking they were right all along.</p> <p>The problem is structural. A chatbot responds to the input it receives. If one side of a conflict writes the prompt, the model optimizes for that person's framing. The other side never gets a turn.</p> <p>After 290 ratings averaging 4.9 out of 5, we think the fix is mechanical.</p> <h2> What a general chat
