Untangle how you interact.

Two characters, both AI

Everyone you meet in Codaptable is an AI character powered by Claude, made by Anthropic. Nobody on the other end is a person.

The Mediator

Your guide, and the one you talk to. It draws on ideas from Internal Family Systems: when a hard moment pulls you into an old reaction, it helps you notice which part of you answered and what that part believes. It's warm, and it will also ask you the harder question.

The Coperson

A character who plays the difficult person, built only from what you tell Codaptable about how they act. It pushes back the way they do, so you can try a different answer somewhere safe.

Three ways to practice

A slider at the top of the chat switches between them at any time, and your conversation carries across.

• Mediator One to one with the Mediator. Prepare for a conversation, talk through one that already happened, understand a pattern, or find the words.
• Coperson Practice with the Coperson by yourself. The Mediator stays quiet unless you ask, it's time to check in on how you're feeling, or something sounds unsafe.
• Mediated Practice with the Coperson, with the Mediator beside you. After each exchange the Mediator writes a short note in italics about what happened, and it can suggest a response when you ask.

Chats are kept for 3 days

Each chat is saved, encrypted, for 3 days from when it starts, so you can pick it up again. Then it's deleted automatically, and you can delete it sooner. Each message passes through our server to Claude to get a reply. What Codaptable keeps longer is the practice profile the Mediator builds as it gets to know you, such as patterns it has noticed and your goals. You can see it, change it or delete it in the app. The privacy policy lists everything we store.

Sign-up starts with your email address, which we confirm with a one-time sign-in link. Then you choose a username and password, and give your date of birth to confirm you're 18 or older. If you forget your password, you can ask for a sign-in link by email. Your email is never used for marketing.

Getting set up

Setup starts with the Mediator introducing itself and asking what to call you and what brings you here. If you like, you can tell it what's going on in your own words, and it answers you. What you write there is kept only inside your first chat, for its 3 days.

Then come a few sets of options you tap: things that might sound like you, who you'd like to practice with, and things that might sound like how they act. Pick as many or as few as fit, or skip. There's no quiz, no score and no result.

If you're dating someone codependent

Codaptable isn't only for the person who over-gives. If you're dating someone who leans on you a lot, needs reassurance often, or gets hurt when you want space, setup has a path for you. The practice character plays your partner, and the Mediator helps you stay kind and present without rescuing them or pulling away. Healthy space is something you say out loud, with a time you'll be back.

Setup also asks about safety. If your answers suggest the person may be dangerous to you, Codaptable won't build a practice character of them, and it points you to Resources instead.

Checking in on how you feel

Hard conversations can stir things up, even pretend ones. The Mediator asks you to rate your distress from 1 to 10 at the start, around practice scenes, and whenever things seem to be getting a lot. At 4 or above it pauses and walks you through a short grounding skill, such as paced breathing or one of the TIPP skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), chosen from a researched list. It tells you about any cautions first, so you can pick another skill if one isn't right for you.

What it draws on

• The recovery literature of Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) and Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA), reworded rather than copied.
• Ideas from Internal Family Systems (IFS) about parts and the beliefs they carry.
• Distress-tolerance skills from DBT.
• Research on how hard conversations tend to go, and on the healthier responses people find.

We treat codependency as a set of learned ways of relating that once made sense and can change. Codaptable gives you tools and practice for how you live and relate. It doesn't put a label on you.

What it isn't

• Not therapy. The Mediator isn't a therapist and Codaptable doesn't treat anything.
• Not a diagnosis. Nothing here assesses you or tells you what you "are".
• Not a crisis service. If you're in danger, call 911. To talk with someone now, call or text 988 (US), or see Resources. If anything you write suggests a crisis, the chat ends and the app shows crisis lines you can reach right away.
• Not a verdict on your relationship. It won't tell you whether to stay or go. That's yours to decide.

Plans

The free plan includes three chat sessions. After that, a subscription keeps you going. Codaptable is for adults 18 and over.

Resources Used to Build Codaptable

No AI model was trained or fine-tuned on any of these sources. The AI in Codaptable is Claude, made by Anthropic. We used these sources to write the Mediator's and the Coperson's instructions, and the reference material they consult.

This is every source behind that reference material, so you can see where things come from.
