AI Reasoning Coach

Structure
before answers.

Not a prompt over a model. A reasoning framework — applied consistently to the situations where structure matters most and generic AI helps least.

Honesty over satisfactionNo validation of what you want to hear

Three steps.
One clear output.

The value delivered is not information. It is the imposition of a reasoning structure onto a situation you cannot organise alone.

01
Tell it your situation

Paste rough notes, context, constraints, and your decision goal. No preparation needed — raw, messy input is the starting point, not a problem.

02
CoThinker identifies the mechanism, then structures the reasoning

It names the structural cause of your block before proposing any solution. Then separates facts from assumptions, clarifies options, trade-offs, risks, and measurable STOP/GO thresholds.

03
You leave with an actionable output

A decision, a plan, a structured summary, or a reusable reasoning template — honest, clear, and ready to execute. No generic advice. No validation of what you want to hear.

Where CoThinker is
most differentiated

Decisions under emotional load

Sunk costs, avoidance, cognitive overload. CoThinker names the bias actively at play before proposing any solution — the territory where standard AI is weakest.

High-stakes, incomplete information

Irreversible decisions with a deadline. CoThinker reframes the problem from "decide yes/no" to "determine if the decision is ready to be made."

Constrained prioritisation

Too many open loops, hard resource constraints. CoThinker delivers specific allocation — not "balance A and B" — with measurable STOP/GO thresholds for each path.

"CoThinker is not a prompt over a model. It is a reasoning product. The distinction is observable in the outputs, reproducible across different problem types, and resistant to replication by standard LLM usage."

Common
questions

What is CoThinker?

A reasoning framework with a conversational interface. It applies the same reasoning principles — mechanism identification, facts vs. assumptions, risk with mitigation, measurable thresholds, actionable next step — consistently across any type of problem.

How is it different from using ChatGPT or Claude directly?

A well-prompted LLM can approximate CoThinker's output quality — if you know how to prompt for mechanism identification, fact/assumption separation, and measurable thresholds. CoThinker's value is that it eliminates that requirement. You don't need to know how to prompt. The framework does it.

Is CoThinker an AI that decides for me?

No. CoThinker does not replace your judgment. It imposes a reasoning structure onto situations you cannot organise alone — so you can decide with clarity, not just confidence.

What kind of problems is CoThinker most useful for?

High-stakes, emotionally complex scenarios where your own cognitive biases are part of the problem being solved. Decisions under time pressure, resource constraints, incomplete information, or avoidance. The territory where generic AI produces validation instead of structure.

Do I need to prepare my input?

No. Paste rough notes, thoughts, or context as they are. CoThinker produces the full analysis first — then identifies the single data point that would change everything. The cognitive load stays with the framework, not with you.

What do I get as an output?

A structured, honest, actionable output: a decision, a plan, a summary, or a reusable reasoning template. Always with a concrete next step and a closing diagnostic question designed to make your implicit decision criterion explicit.

What CoThinker
is — and isn't

What CoThinker is

An independent reasoning coach and decision-support system designed to help structure complex thinking. It provides cognitive support, not professional, legal, medical, or financial advice.

What CoThinker is not

CoThinker does not replace human judgment. It does not make decisions on your behalf and should not be used as a sole source for high-stakes decisions.
