“Exposing hidden persuasion tactics in your everyday chats.”
👉 Did you know?
Every time you refresh this repo, you’re resisting manipulation 😉
In daily chats (WhatsApp, Messenger, Discord…), people often get influenced or manipulated without realizing it.
- Saying “yes” under peer pressure.
- Agreeing because of guilt-tripping or flattery.
- Being persuaded through fear or authority pressure.
- Falling victim to gaslighting in toxic conversations.
There is no tool today that can read a conversation and explain:
- Why did this person agree?
- What tactics were used to influence them?
- Was the response genuine, or was it forced/manipulated?
Manipulense is an AI-powered conversation analyzer that detects manipulation tactics in chats and explains them in human language.
💬 Upload a chat log → ConvGuard highlights manipulative lines and shows you why they were manipulative.
📊 Visualize influence → See how pressure built up across the conversation.
🔎 Learn tactics → Understand guilt-tripping, flattery, fear, and gaslighting as they happen in text.
