Find common ground

AI-facilitated mediation for the conversations that matter most.

Whether you're working through conflict with a partner, a family member, or a colleague — Common Ground creates a shared space where every perspective gets heard, and neither side is at a disadvantage.

Get started

What Common Ground does

A space built for two sides — and the truth between them

Shared sessions

Both parties join the same session. Each person speaks for themselves. Common Ground acts as mediator — not a judge, not an arbitrator, but a space where both sides can be heard and understood.

Not on anyone's side

Common Ground doesn't validate whoever spoke last. Its commitment is to clarity and understanding — which sometimes means respectfully challenging a framing that's getting in the way.

Individual reflection

Work through a situation on your own first — to think clearly, see beyond your own frame, prepare for a shared conversation, or process one after. Solo sessions are a full part of the product.

Memory over time

Common Ground builds an understanding of each person — not just what they say, but how they think and the patterns they return to. Over time it can offer reflections that meet you precisely where you are.

Bring your documents

Correspondence, contracts, messages, meeting notes — share anything that's relevant. Common Ground can work with documents from all parties and use them to ground the conversation in facts rather than impressions.

Private and secure

Sessions are private to participants. What's shared in a Common Ground session stays in that session. Your conversations are not used for training or shared with anyone.

How it works

From conflict to clarity — together

Start a session

One person opens a session and invites the other. Each participant joins directly — no accounts required for the other party.

Everyone speaks

Each person says what they need to say, in their own words. Common Ground listens to all sides — and reflects back what it's actually hearing, not just what each person wants to hear.

Find the ground

Where there's genuine agreement, Common Ground names it. Where there's a real disagreement, it helps both sides understand why. Not every session ends in resolution — but every session ends in clarity.

Why this is different from asking an AI assistant

Standard AI assistants agree with whoever is talking to them. If you describe a conflict, they validate your account of it. The other party — if they described the same situation — would receive the same validation in the opposite direction.

Common Ground is designed from the opposite assumption. Its purpose is not to make anyone feel heard in the sense of feeling agreed with. It's to hold the whole situation — both accounts, both perspectives, the gap between them — and work honestly from there.

That means both parties can trust it. Neither is disadvantaged by who arrived first, who writes most fluently, or who sounds most certain. Common Ground is not a tool for winning an argument. It's a space for resolving one.
