Stop guessing how their week went.
Understand it.
Your clients leave the session with homework. Then the week happens. Bonds helps them practice what you started, and shows you how it went.
Built with clinical psychologist Dr. Lior Kritzman, PhD and sex therapist Gila Bronner, CST.
78 seconds. Turn the sound on.
The report you read before a session.
A few minutes of practice a day turns into a letter in your client's own words: what they shared, what they committed to, and whether they actually tried it.
This sample uses the real report format, with a made-up client.
What you shared, in your own words
In the Describing Your Situation chapter, you wrote: "i feel alone in my relationship. he's always on his phone, he doesn't even greet me anymore, he's either working or scrolling and it's lonely."
In the Noticing Reactions chapter, you wrote: "i just go quiet. i don't want to start a fight so i say nothing, and then i'm annoyed about it for days."
→ What might be worth exploring
• A pattern of going quiet instead of saying what's wrong
• Feeling unseen when Daniel is on his phone
• Frustration that builds up because it isn't said out loud

What we noticed
Ideas you may want to try
They leave your session. Then the week goes quiet.
The work that decides whether a relationship changes happens where you cannot see it. And your clients are already filling that silence with tools that know nothing about them.
You are working blind
2 weeks rebuilt from memory in 10 minutes, and memory keeps whatever happened last.
The work you send home disappears
Whether they tried it, and how it went, you only learn by asking.
The hardest things stay unsaid
People type what they can't say out loud. That material matters most, and it arrives late or never.
Your clients do the practice. You see how it's going.
This is what selected pilot partners get. We're opening the portal to them first, and building it with them.
Pilot preview, sample data
See it live. Apply, and we'll walk you through the portal on a 15-minute call.
Apply and see the portalYou invite them
Type a client's first name to get their own link, with a ready-to-send message and a short video. They choose to connect with you on a separate consent screen.
They practice, and they keep going
Built for the client who never does the exercise you gave them. 5 minutes a day, built like a game, so it actually happens. Their partner doesn't need to join.
You see how it went
Your portal shows who joined, when each client was active, and whether they followed through. Before a session, get their latest report as a PDF. After it, write one line on what they should work on next, and it becomes their next chapter.
"HeyBonds has helped my patients to have an additional tool outside of our therapy sessions. They are able to practice the communication skills introduced during our sessions and actually implement them in their daily romantic relationship. Instead of waiting on our next session, they are able to receive support with small relationship barriers they may experience in their day-to-day lives. HeyBonds doesn't replace therapy, but instead is a modern tool we can recommend for additional support outside of the therapy rooms"
Yoenia (Jojo) Sagrero, LCSWU.S.-licensed clinical social worker, Bonds pilot partner and advisorThis is your client at 11pm, mid-argument.
Pick something a client might say. Bonds catches the tone, names what's underneath it, and rehearses the repair with them right then, in the moment it's happening, instead of waiting for your next session.
- ✓Their call, every time. Clients connect with you on their own consent screen, and can disconnect anytime.
- ✓Only what they agree to share. Their activity, actions, check-ins and report. Never their conversations.
- ✓Private by default. Their conversations stay theirs, private and confidential. We never sell personal data.
How did that land?
Built with a psychologist and a sex therapist.
Bonds isn't a wellness app with a psychologist on an advisory page. Dr. Lior Kritzman, PhD is a clinical psychologist and researcher, and our Chief Scientific Officer. He oversees the science behind every tool we build. Your clients won't practice anything you'd have to undo.
Patterns before they repeat
Clients learn to catch escalation early and respond differently.
Familiar clinical grounding
Built with a clinical psychologist, in attachment-aware language.
5 minutes, repeated
Short daily practice, which is why the home exercises actually come back.
"You don't need to know what's wrong to start understanding your relationship. Sometimes, you just need something that makes you think, 'That's us,' and helps you put words to what you've been feeling."
Lior Kritzman, Ph.DLicensed Clinical Psychologist and Chief Scientific Officer, Bonds
"Intimacy is so hard to talk about because it touches our most sensitive and vulnerable places. It feels safer to stay silent, hoping that our partner will understand what we want, what we miss. But real closeness begins when we dare to put our feelings into words."

What coaches ask us first.
What about privacy?
Your client chooses to connect with you on a separate consent screen in the app. You see only what they agree to share: their activity, the actions they took on, their check-ins and their report. Never their conversations. They can disconnect anytime from their profile. Once they do, you see only their name, marked Disconnected, and none of their past or new data. Bonds is a relationship skills app that uses AI. It isn't therapy, and it isn't for insurance-billed care. Whether it suits a particular client stays your call.
Do I need my client's permission?
Yes, and Bonds asks for it. Your client connects with you on their own consent screen, sees what they're sharing, and can disconnect anytime.
Who can join the pilot?
Relationship, dating and marriage coaches in the US and Canada, plus coaching practices and coach training programs. This round is for coaches. If you're a licensed clinician, join the waitlist and we'll tell you when we open up. If your practice bills health insurance, the portal isn't for you yet, and your clients can still forward you their own report.
What does the pilot cost?
Nothing for 30 days, starting the day you get portal access. No card needed. Then $49 a month for up to 10 clients, their Bonds access included, and your founding price stays locked for as long as you stay. We send a payment link 7 days before the pilot ends. If you don't pay, the portal closes and nothing is charged. It all sits in a 1-page pilot agreement, e-signed once.
Do my clients pay?
No. While they're connected to you, their access is included in your plan, for up to 10 clients.
Will Bonds coach my clients instead of me?
No. You set the direction, and Bonds helps them practice it between sessions. After a session, write one line on what they should work on next, and it becomes their next chapter. Bonds isn't therapy and doesn't replace your sessions.
What's actually in the summary?
7 parts, written as a letter to your client rather than a chart: what they shared in their own words, what might be worth exploring, their partner as they described them, what they've done in the app, what they committed to and whether they tried it, patterns we noticed (each one says what it's based on), and a few ideas to try next. It also says plainly that it was generated automatically and that sharing it is optional. A new report takes a little while to generate and can be requested every 2 days, so get it the day before a session. See the sample report on this page.
Does it interpret my client for me?
It offers observations and suggestions, so yes, in a limited sense. We'd rather you know that up front than discover it. It names patterns it sees and proposes small experiments, and it says on its face that it's automated and not a substitute for your judgment. It doesn't diagnose, and the interpretation is yours. You're the professional here. If it says something you disagree with, that disagreement is probably the most useful thing in the document.
Isn't this just another AI chatbot?
No, and the difference is the point. A general chatbot starts fresh, has no clinical grounding, and will happily agree with whatever your client tells it. Bonds is attachment-based, built with a clinical psychologist. It's structured practice, not open-ended conversation.
Who's a good fit for this?
Clients working on communication, conflict or closeness, whether they're in a relationship or dating someone. 1 person can start alone, and their partner doesn't need to join. It isn't for crisis situations or abuse, and it isn't for insurance-billed care.
What if I try it and don't like it?
Tell us why. At this stage that's the most useful thing we can get. Cancel anytime by email. If you don't pay at the end of the pilot, the portal closes and nothing is charged.
