The ex-skill: the conversation you train in private
Some skills you train in a gym. Some you train in private. The ex-skill is the second kind — knowing what to say to someone you can no longer say it to, and knowing whether to actually send the message. Startover is where you practice.
What this skill is for
For anyone who has an ex they need to message but can't quite hit send. For people stuck on a draft for weeks. For people in no-contact who keep almost breaking it. The ex-skill is small and discrete — most people never get to practice it.
How the ex-skill works
Distill your ex from your real chat history (or describe them in 14 questions if you don't have it). Pick a scenario — apology, boundary, goodbye, one question, asking for one more conversation. Rehearse it. Get a reflection on what you reached for and what one thing might be worth saying for real. Most users finish the rehearsal and decide not to send anything — which is also a working outcome.
Train it once
Free during beta. Persona is private to your account. Most users come once and don't come back.
Common questions
Why call it a "skill"?
Because it's a discrete, learnable thing — knowing whether to send the message, and what to say if you do. It's the kind of competence most people develop only by getting it wrong; the ex-skill lets you practice without the wrong-version going anywhere.
Does this help me get back together with my ex?
It's not designed to. Most users come for closure, not reconnection. If reconnection is what you want, the rehearsal will surface whether the opening line you have in mind would actually land — and sometimes the answer is no.
What if I deleted everything when we broke up?
Use Baimiao instead — 14 questions about how they spoke, what they cared about, how they ended fights. The persona will be sketchier than a chat-distilled one but still useful for rehearsing.
