Prickly Pair
A private space to work on your relationship.
Loma is a calm, confidential AI companion. Each partner thinks with Loma privately — and chooses what to bring to the shared conversation.
The project
Therapy-grade thinking, woven into everyday life.
Most relationship problems don't get resolved because the conversations are too hard to start. Prickly Pair creates space to think before you speak — each partner writes privately with Loma, then chooses what to share with the other through a shared Ledger.
Nothing flows across the private boundary without your decision. The AI never speaks for you — it helps you find your own words. All content is end-to-end encrypted, and no one at Prickly Pair can read your conversations.
How it works
Two people. One relationship. Separate rooms.
Think privately with Loma
Each partner has their own encrypted conversation with Loma. What happens there stays there unless you choose to share it.
Post to the shared Ledger
When you want your partner to hear something, you compose it deliberately. Loma helps you find the clearest, most considered version.
Build understanding over time
Loma remembers what matters to each of you. The Ledger becomes a record of real progress — not just good intentions.
For practitioners
A practitioner portal built for longitudinal insight.
Therapists and relationship coaches who work with couples on Prickly Pair get access to the Practitioner Portal: an observatory of de-identified patterns, not a chat log. Everything that crosses from client territory to your view is anonymised, consent-gated, and ethically bounded.
