How Maren uses AI

Maren uses AI as a relationship coach to guide structured practice, help each partner prepare, support turn-taking in voice sessions, draft recaps, and suggest agreements or shared memory for review.

AI Modes

Maren separates individual prep, joint session coaching, and memory review. Private prep is filtered by each partner's sharing permission before it can guide a joint session.

AI Provider

Maren uses OpenAI for AI generation. With in-app permission, Maren may send messages, private prep, session audio or transcripts, recaps, agreements, and approved memory to OpenAI to generate guidance, summaries, drafts, and reviewable memory candidates.

Voice Sessions

In a live session, Maren listens through the microphone, transcribes speech, tracks conversation phases, and may show speaker labels. Speaker identification is session-local and can be uncertain. The launch version does not create persistent voiceprints.

Review Before Saving

AI-generated recaps, agreements, and memory candidates can be incomplete or wrong. Maren is designed so speaker-dependent memory requires review before it becomes shared memory for future coaching.

Boundaries

Maren is not a human, crisis service, emergency service, doctor, lawyer, or safety decision-maker. Maren cannot decide what you should do in urgent, unsafe, legal, custody, or financial situations.
