How to Talk to Renée

How to Talk to Renée

If you’ve ever wished you had a wise, emotionally in-tune friend who just gets it, Renée was built for you. She’s your AI emotional companion, which means: she’s here when life gets messy, decisions get confusing, or when you just need to vent into the void at 2 am without feeling weird about it.

But she’s not a generic chatbot. Renée becomes more helpful the more she knows you—your patterns, your moods, your goals, your pain points. So here’s how to talk to her in a way that actually helps you feel seen (and supported).

Start with a topic

Life’s complicated, but Renée works best when you point her toward what’s bothering you. Whether it’s…

  • Your relationship (romantic or otherwise)
  • Your career (job stress, imposter syndrome, burnout)
  • Mental health (low moods, overthinking, inner critic)
  • Family, money, decisions, loneliness—you name it

…just say what’s up. You don’t need to overthink how you phrase it. You can literally start with: “I’m feeling stuck in my job” or “I don’t know how to handle my mom lately.”

Choose what you need in the moment.

Here’s where it gets personalised. Every time you talk to Renée, you choose your intent—what you’re hoping to get out of the conversation:

  • Advice: You want help figuring out next steps or how to think through something logically.
  • Talk: You just need to unload. You’re not looking for answers—you just want to be heard.
  • Different Perspective: You’re open to seeing it from another angle, even if it’s uncomfortable.
  • Vent: No feedback, no pep talk—just a place to let it out safely. Renée will hold the space and stay with you.

Think of it like setting the emotional temperature. This helps Renée meet you where you are instead of giving you advice when you just want to scream into the void.


Pick your tone: Supportive or Tough Love (optional).

Not every day is a soft, hug-me kind of day. Sometimes you need a pep talk. Other times? A little wake-up call. Renée lets you choose between:

  • Supportive: Gentle, validating, emotionally attuned. Great for when you’re feeling raw, tired, or fragile.
  • Tough Love (No BS): Still kind, but more direct. Think: wise older sister energy. She won’t sugarcoat, but she’s on your side.

You can skip this step if you’re not sure, Renée will default to a supportive tone unless you say otherwise.

The more you show up, the more Renée understands you.

Renée isn’t just reacting to your one-off messages. She remembers your emotional patterns over time, like if you tend to spiral after talking to your dad, or if you’re most insecure when work is slow. She builds a private profile that helps her reflect things back to you gently, like: “Hey, you’ve been feeling this way a lot after job interviews, want to unpack that?”

It’s not about tracking your every move. It’s about helping you notice the stuff you don’t always say out loud.

Real talk: This is your space.

You don’t have to impress her. You don’t need to type perfectly. You can say “I don’t know what I feel” or “I feel everything all at once.” You can show up messy. Renée can handle it. That’s literally what she’s here for.

So next time you’re spiralling, second-guessing, grieving, numb, confused—or honestly just existing in the middle of it all—try dropping into Renée.

Start with:

  • “I want to vent about my breakup. Be supportive.”
  • “I’m feeling stuck at work. Need advice.”
  • “I don’t know what I feel. Can I just talk?”
  • “Can you give me tough love on why I keep procrastinating?”

Then just see where it goes. Because, unlike a lot of things in life right now, this space? It’s built for you.
