Frequently asked questions
Here’s what the current build does—and what the product is being designed to become.
What does in-between do?
It is being built to help one person understand patterns in a two-person romantic conversation and choose a practical next step. It offers AI-generated reflection, not therapy or counseling.
Which conversations will it support?
The first version is designed for English text from one-to-one romantic chats: pasted timestamped messages or an iOS/Android WhatsApp .txt or .zip export, up to 10 MB. ZIP files are read locally and media is ignored. Images, audio, and group chats are outside the initial scope.
Does this build analyze my chat or charge me?
The local development version can create a free OpenAI preview and, with Stripe test keys, show a test-mode payment form and full report. Test mode does not charge real money. The hosted site only checks the export format; production checkout and report delivery are not enabled.
What happens when I begin analysis?
On the local development server, choosing Begin analysis sends chat text to OpenAI for a free preview. After a Stripe test payment, the full report is generated in the current browser session. in-between does not save the chat or report. OpenAI API data is not used to train models by default, but may be retained for abuse monitoring for up to 30 days.
Can it tell me exactly what the other person thinks?
No. The product is being designed to distinguish message patterns from interpretation and to make uncertainty clear. It cannot know someone’s private thoughts from a chat alone.
Who can use in-between?
The planned minimum age is 13. Users will confirm their age range before starting; teen-specific safety handling is part of the product requirements.
