There is an epidemic of negative tone online, and it impacts us all. Shade, bullying, and harassment are rampant. The impact is considerable, both for individuals and society at large. Compounding this, the vast bulk of offenders? are unaware of the role they play.

Privacy is Key
YourTone™ sits on your phone and merely delivers insights to it. Your data stays on your phone, unless you expressly choose to archive a troublesome thread. YourTone™ validates that something is wrong and helps facilitate evidence gathering. You have the option to authorize the system to send “cease and desist” vaccinations when you are the victim of negative tone that crosses a threshold (bullying, harassment, manipulation).
How it Works
YourTone™ combines linguistics, advanced reasoning, machine learning, and subject matter experts’ understanding to create insights about your online tone, and that of the people you communicate with. By considering conversations as a whole, instead of singular messages, much better insight is achieved.
