Building Unjam — an anonymous tool to help people think through stress more clearly

I’m a high school student building a small project called Unjam.

I started it because I noticed something weird — when people are stressed, most tools either dump productivity advice on them or just validate feelings without actually helping them move forward.

I wanted to experiment with something different.

Unjam works like this:
• You write what’s bothering you (completely anonymous)
• It identifies the core issue underneath what you wrote
• Explains why that issue feels heavy
• Gives one clear, realistic next step
• Asks a follow-up question that pushes thinking forward

The goal isn’t therapy. It’s clarity + action.

I’m still refining tone and depth — especially making responses feel human instead of robotic.

If you’re open to trying it and giving honest feedback, here’s the link:

Questions I’m exploring:
• What makes AI feel genuinely thoughtful?
• Where’s the line between reflection and over-validation?
• What would make you actually come back to a tool like this?

Appreciate any direct feedback
