What is Text Tox?
Users copy and paste a DM, message, or text they received (e.g., from a situationship, boss, or friend), and the site uses AI to analyze if it’s honest, manipulative, ghosting in progress, or full-on gaslighting — like a digital therapist meets a tea-spiller.
Problem
Users struggle to identify manipulative, dishonest, or gaslighting content in personal messages manually, leading to emotional confusion and delayed responses due to lack of expertise in psychological analysis.
Solution
A web-based AI tool that lets users paste text messages to detect toxicity (e.g., gaslighting, ghosting) using NLP models, providing instant insights like 'manipulative intent' or 'dishonest tone'.
Customers
Individuals in personal relationships (e.g., dating, friendships) and HR managers or workplace counselors analyzing communication for toxicity.
Unique Features
Combines AI text analysis with psychological frameworks to decode subtle toxic patterns, offering plain-language explanations (e.g., 'gaslighting detected') instead of generic sentiment scores.
