BSTY
Summary
AI-based app for women, designed to help them better understand their
emotional dynamics in relationships.
The app listens to phone conversations in real-time, analyzes tones, intonations,
and emotional dynamics, and provides the user with a clear reflection of the
feelings experienced during the conversation.
BSTY identifies recurring emotional patterns and alerts users to manipulative
behaviors like gaslighting.
The user predefines the contacts she wishes to monitor, and every conversation
with those contacts is automatically recorded and analyzed in real-time.
At the end of each call, BSTY provides in-depth emotional analyses and insights to
help the user understand what happened in the conversation and how it affects
her relationship.
