Meedi8 - Guided Mediation

Meedi8 is a private AI mediator — it listens, asks the questions you’re too close to ask yourself, and helps you find a way forward.

Start typing — no sign-up wall. We save your session to a private guest space so you don’t lose it; convert or delete it anytime.

Meedi8 is for everyday relationship conflict — not abuse or emergencies. If you’re afraid of the other person, or something doesn’t feel safe, you can reach specialist help.Crisis & safety resources →

How it works

Describe what’s going on

Type a few sentences about the disagreement. No forms, no sign-up wall — just say what’s on your mind.

Talk it through privately

Meedi8 — an AI mediator — listens, asks the questions you’re too close to ask yourself, and tries to surface the underlying need driving the conflict.

Invite the other person — only if it’s safe

Most people start solo. Only send a private invite if you’re sure it’s safe — and never if you’re ever afraid of them. If you do, they join a shared room and see only what you choose to share; your private solo notes stay yours. Not sure? Keep it solo — you never have to invite anyone.

Walk away with a plan

Capture what you agreed in a clear, written summary — keep it, revisit it, or share it if you choose.

Why people use Meedi8

A different way to handle the conversations that matter most.

Neutral — when both people are safe

Neutrality only helps when both people are safe and free to speak honestly. For an ordinary disagreement that means no history with either of you and no taking sides — the same care, the same questions, the same airtime. When there’s abuse or coercion, neutrality is the wrong tool, and we’ll point you to specialist help instead.

There when you need it

Disagreements don’t wait for office hours. Meedi8 is available 24/7, ready the moment the tension flares.

Private by design

Your conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold, and never used to train AI models. To mediate, your words are processed by a third-party AI service. You stay in control of what gets shared — see “Your privacy, precisely” below for exactly who can access what, and when.

A fraction of the cost

Professional mediation can run into thousands. Start free; paid plans from £9/mo — upgrade only if you want more sessions or extra features, never a surprise bill.

Simple, honest pricing

Free

Start a solo session — or invite the other person to turn it into a shared duo, at no extra cost. One active session at a time, no time limit, no card.

Plus

£9/mo

Multiple active sessions at once, voice input, and 3 therapist-ready reports a month. 7-day free trial, cancel anytime.

Pro

£18/mo

Everything in Plus, plus WhatsApp & Telegram chat import, relationship pattern analytics, unlimited transcript storage, and 5 reports a month.

Your privacy, precisely

Encrypted & access-controlled

Conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t read or monitor your sessions in the normal course of running the service; access is restricted to authorised staff and used only when genuinely needed to operate or support it. Whenever a support agent opens your session content in our admin console, it’s recorded in an audit log, including who accessed it, when, and the reason given.

AI-processed, never trained on

To respond to you, an AI reads what you write — processed by leading AI providers (currently Anthropic and Google; the full list is in our Privacy Policy). We never use your conversations to train AI models, and we never sell your data.

Yours to control and delete

GDPR-compliant. Export or delete your data anytime — deletion removes it from your account and active storage.

When safety overrides privacy

If a session signals risk to life or serious harm, a trained safeguarding reviewer may read it to connect you with help. We won’t contact the other person about your session. The only time we’d ever go further is where the law requires disclosure to prevent serious harm — and it exists to keep you safe.

Common questions

Meedi8 is built for everyday conflict between two people acting in good faith — not for abuse, coercive control, or situations where you feel afraid. Sometimes that’s hard to see from the inside: if a “normal argument” keeps leaving you anxious, blamed, or walking on eggshells, that matters. Neutral mediation is the wrong tool when there’s a power imbalance, and we’d never want you pressured to find common ground with someone who is harming you. If that might be your situation, please reach out to specialist support — our crisis & safety resources are linked at the foot of the page. You can always use solo mode just to think; you never have to invite anyone.

Your conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we don’t read or monitor your sessions in the normal course of running Meedi8. Access is restricted to authorised staff and used only when necessary — for example to investigate a problem you report, or, rarely, when a session signals risk to life and a trained safeguarding reviewer needs to help. Whenever a support agent opens your session content in our admin console, it’s recorded in an audit log, including who accessed it, when, and the reason given. We won’t contact the other person about your session, and we’d only ever disclose further where the law requires it to prevent serious harm. To respond, your words are processed by a third-party AI service — never to train AI models, and never sold. We follow GDPR, and you can delete your data at any time.

Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Start with a sentence about what’s going on. We’ll take it from there.
