In Curi, Private Side of the Room and the Public Side of the Room serve distinct purposes to facilitate effective conflict resolution and communication. The Private Side of the Room provides a secure, confidential environment where users can address their issues, express concerns, and collaborate with Curi AI privately. Users can draft and refine their responses in this space with the guidance of Curi AI, ensuring their conversations remain entirely confidential. To create a private room, users simply tap the “Create Room” button on the Rooms page, where only the user and Curi AI participate, guaranteeing privacy. Within the Private Side of the Room, users can discuss challenges, ask questions, request support, or even vent their emotions in a safe and secure environment. During emotionally charged moments, Curi AI guides users with empathy, helping them calm down and feel heard. It assists in developing appropriate and respectful responses, ensuring users feel supported and heard before they choose to share their thoughts in a Public Side of the Room to prevent further escalation of conflict.
In contrast, the Public Side of the Room is designed for open dialogue among participants, with Curi AI providing guidance to ensure conversations are productive, constructive and focused on resolving conflicts collaboratively. Public Side of the Rooms are created when a participant is invited to a private room and accepts the invitation, splitting the room into private and public areas. Content shared in the Public Side of the Room is visible to all participants and is not confidential. Users in this space can engage directly with others, respond to messages, share content, and use additional features like starring messages, taking notes, or viewing message details. However, responses to messages are prepared in the Private Side of the Room with Curi AI before being shared publicly.
The role of Curi AI varies across the two spaces. In the Private Side of the Room, it provides real-time assistance, offering suggestions, feedback, and conflict resolution strategies in a fully confidential manner. In the Public Side of the Room, Curi guides the overall conversation but redirects users to the Private Side of the Room when they need help drafting respectful and thoughtful responses.
Once a private room’s purpose is fulfilled, users can archive it for future use, with the ability to resume conversations from where they left off. In the Public Side of the Room, even after some participants leave, the chat history remains accessible to the remaining participants, who can continue discussions. However, departed participants cannot view new messages or content.
