Text analysisWhat to say next

What do I say in this text?

Run a dossier on the conversation behind the text you're stuck on, and get what to say next — drawn from that thread, not from a list.

Staring at a half-typed reply usually isn't a words problem, it's a context problem: what has worked in this conversation before? A dossier answers from the thread itself — Icebreakers are openers built from what you two already talk about, and Go Deeper is the set of questions that move this specific conversation past small talk, each with the read on why it should land. Generic lines are what you were already avoiding.

Questions this dossier answers
  1. 01What kinds of messages have gotten real replies in this thread?
  2. 02What's an opener that sounds like me, about something we actually share?
  3. 03What question would take this somewhere new?
  4. 04What am I doing in this thread that's getting in my own way?
Good to know

This is the reply half of the app: Icebreakers for starting, Go Deeper for steering. It works because the dossier comes from your thread's own history, which is why nothing it hands you sounds like it came from a list of lines.

Common questions

Do I paste in the text I'm stuck on?

No pasting — Dossier is a Mac app. You pick the thread on your own Mac, it writes the dossier, and the openers and questions come from the recent conversation (up to its 250 latest messages), not just the message you're stuck on.

Will the suggestions sound like me?

They're drawn from your conversation — the things you two actually talk about — rather than from a stock list. You choose what to send; Dossier never sends anything itself.

A dossier is for fun and reflection, not advice. It surfaces patterns in how people text each other — it does not diagnose anyone, and nothing it writes is a finding of fact about another person. What leaves your Mac and what never does is set out in how Dossier protects your data.
