LiteralIQ
There's a specific kind of anxiety that comes from staring at a text message you can't quite decode. Is "sounds good" genuine or dismissive? Is "I've just been really busy" a soft rejection or the truth? LiteralIQ was built for exactly that moment.
Paste a message, email, or screenshot and the tool runs it through a structured analysis powered by Claude. It identifies which communication pattern is at play from a library of named patterns like Soft Stall, Guilt Transfer, Busy Shield, Warmth Withdrawal, and Hot/Cold Cycle, then explains the likely intent behind the words in plain language. Each analysis includes the detected signals with evidence pulled directly from the original message, so you can see why the conclusion was reached, not just what it is.
The output is practical rather than theoretical. A "Your Move" section gives concrete next-step suggestions, and the tool generates several response options in different tones: direct, warm, boundary-setting, and others. You pick the one that fits the situation.
Two features stand out beyond the core analysis. The first is screenshot support: you can upload a photo of a conversation and Claude's vision capability reads it directly, which matters when copy-pasting isn't possible. The second is "Flip It": draft your own reply, paste it in, and the tool tells you how it's likely to land before you hit send. For people who frequently second-guess their own communication, that pre-send check is genuinely useful.
The primary audience is neurodivergent users including autistic and ADHD individuals who find implicit social communication difficult to parse. But the tool is equally useful for anyone navigating a relationship where the words and the meaning aren't lining up.
Model routing runs automatically. Simpler messages go to Claude Haiku for speed; more complex conversations get Claude Sonnet for deeper analysis. The free plan covers 5 reads per day with access to 8 patterns. Premium unlocks unlimited reads, 23+ patterns, a people tracker for recurring contacts, and conversation planning tools.
