Most couples have the same fight on repeat. Our Alcove is an AI coaching app that helps you get underneath it — to the emotions and patterns driving the loop — instead of generic advice or taking sides. It guides you both through conversations together, and gives each of you a private space to work something through alone before bringing it back to the relationship. It's not about winning the argument or getting a verdict — it's about understanding each other and taking one small step forward.
I’ve been to couples therapy several times in my life. Unfortunately, it was never as effective as I hoped.
That made me think a lot about relationships - why it is so hard to communicate, why two people who care about each other can still misunderstand each other so deeply, and why some conflicts keep repeating even when both people want things to get better.
One thing I kept coming back to is that couples support has not changed that much in decades. A couple sits in front of a counselor who does not yet know them, and in about 50 minutes that person has to understand their story, their patterns, their raw spots, and their deeper forming events - then somehow help them move toward a solution.
That is a very hard job.
So I started wondering: can we do better?
Can we use AI to help couples understand each other more deeply, recognize the patterns underneath their fights, and manage their relationship with more care between therapy sessions - or even before things reach a breaking point?
That is what inspired me and Michael Gezin to build Our Alcove.
