Before you send

Some messages need a minute before they need an answer.

Sol is an AI coach for parents, built by a mother who lived this, from 10,013 real messages with her son, and counting, and the research on how kids hear us.

ChatGPT will write whatever you ask. Sol won’t. It slows you down, asks what you want your child to feel, then helps you find the words.

Before you send

You already know what happens when you send it while it still hurts. You also know what happens when you wait three more days and draft it in your head at 1am. Neither is a plan. Sunward gives you more room to breathesteady wordssay in what you send and less 2am regretguessingsilence you did not choose

A mother looks down at her phone against a bright sky, thinking about what to send

Example, not a real parent's messages. At 11:47 PM a parent types "I guess I just don't matter to you anymore." and does not send it. At 7:02 AM they send: "Hey Max. Heard our song in the car today and turned it all the way up. I love you. That's it, that's the whole text. No need to write back."

Most advice tells you how to feel about it

Sunward starts with what to send

Meet Sl, your coach

Sol is the AI coach inside Sunward, the warm, steady voice you talk to. Mellissa built Sol's brain on her own way back to her son. She taught it how to think and gave it a voice of its own, there at 2pm or 2am. You tell Sol what happened. Sol slows things down, asks the right question, and helps you find your own words.

He hasn't answered in six days. I'm about to say something I'll regret.
Sol
I'm here. Let's take one breath before we write anything.
What do you most want him to feel when he reads it?

1. Pause with Sol

When you are spiraling, Sol, your coach, slows you down first. Calm before strategy. Always.

2. Get a draft

Sol offers words that open doors, checked the way your child would read them, and the way the other parent would.

3. Then you decide

Leave with words you feel better about sending. Sol helps you think. You press send, or you don't.

14protocols distilled by Mellissa. Some steady you and make sure you feel seen. The rest act only in the best interest of your child.

Three moves with Sol, in under five minutes a day

Sol is the voice of Sunward and your coach. Everything here happens in conversation with Sol.

A pause, not a promise. Sunward cannot guarantee a reply. It can help you send something you stand behind.A few quiet questions

Today’s “I’m Here”

Good evening · a quiet place to start
Today, tell Max you’re here.
Today’s “I’m Here”

Ask him about one thing he's looking forward to, then just listen.

I did it

One small way to say “I’m here”: a doable gesture toward your child, picked for the moment you are in. Not homework. A human moment, done in two minutes.

Talk it through with Sol

He shrugged me off again this morning. I don't know what I did.
Sol
A shrug at 14 is rarely about you.
Want a smaller “I’m here” for today, one that asks nothing back?

Drafting a hard text? Got a reply you don't know how to answer? Sol helps you find the words, at 2pm or 2am, without judging a hard day.

Rehearse before you send

BestHe sends a heart. The door stays open.
Most likelyNo reply tonight. He reads it and it lands soft.
Worst"K." You are no worse off than before.

See the best, most likely and worst outcomes of a message before it is out of your hands. No more 2am sends you can't take back.

Bring your real thread

Read on your device. The images never leave it.

Import screenshots of your actual conversation so Sol coaches from how the two of you really talk, not from a generic script.

Your coach, Sol

Sol is how Sunward works. Not an app you use. Someone you have, there at 2pm or 2am.

Slows you down first

When you are spiraling, Sol steadies you before it suggests a single word. Regulation before strategy.

Two filters on every draft

Each draft is read the way your child would read it, and the way the other parent would, before you ever see it.

Never used to manipulate a child

Not even "positively." Every word is measured against one question: does this help build the bridge?

Knows when it is not enough

When something needs more than coaching, Sol says so and points you to the right kind of help.

He left me on read for six days. I want to tell him how much that hurts.
Sol
Six days of quiet is heavy. Let's slow down before we write anything.
When he opens this, what do you want him to feel in the first line?
That I'm not mad. That the door's open.
Tell Sol what's on your mind
Sol
Then say only that. Here is one way.
Suggested message

Heard our song in the car today and turned it all the way up. I love you. That's it, that's the whole text.

A few quiet questions

Choose your next step, whenever you're ready

Questions

Straight answers, including the ones that might send you elsewhere. That is the point.

Is Sunward therapy?

No. It is coaching, not therapy or legal advice. It is built to sit alongside the professionals already in your corner, never in place of them.

Will it get my child to reply?

No one can promise that, and we won't. Sunward is a pause, not a promise. What it can do is help you send one message you feel better about, and then another.

What is an “I’m Here”?

It is what Sunward calls your one small gesture of the day: a doable way to tell your child “I’m here”, chosen for the moment you are in, that asks nothing back. Most take about two minutes.

What does it cost?

Nothing for the first 7 days, with everything unlocked. After that, plans start at about a dollar a day, and you can leave in one tap. See pricing

Who can see what I write?

Messages are private by construction. If you import screenshots of a thread, they are read on your device and the images never leave it.

Where is it available?

Adults 18 and over in the United States. Not offered in Illinois, Washington, or Nevada.

What if I need more than coaching?

Sol says so, plainly, and points you to the right kind of help. Sunward is built to sit alongside the professionals in your corner.

Two minutes a day

“I’m here.”

They may not answer. Say it anyway. One small way, every day. Two minutes. Nothing asked back.

Today’s “I’m Here”, for exampleAsk him about one thing he’s looking forward to, then just listen.

No promise of a reply. Just one steady sign, day after day, that you have not gone anywhere.
