What is ChatBoy?

ChatBoy is a simple, web-based app that helps you train your brain to instantly recognize deceptive and manipulative language. It’s built to teach social discernment—the skill of noticing subtle patterns of influence, coercion, and power plays in everyday interactions.

Through daily drills and quick challenges, you’ll start to catch red flags in conversations, texts, relationships, and work dynamics—often before your conscious mind even notices them.

It’s not about knowledge. It’s about training.

ChatBoy is for anyone who wants to:

Navigate dating, friendships, or work relationships with more confidence

Rebuild “people radar” after a toxic relationship

Level up their instincts in social situations

Feel safer and more aware when interacting with others
