Roommate Court

Settle disputes and assign chores — no arguments

Two tools in one: AI-powered dispute mediation that analyzes fault, surfaces the real underlying conflict, and gives you a word-for-word conversation script — plus a fair chore assignment engine that balances effort across rounds using history, so nobody can claim it's unfair. Includes a 'That's Not Fair!' button that reviews complaints against actual data.

Overview

RoommateCourt has two tabs. Dispute Court: describe a roommate conflict, get an impartial AI verdict with fault percentages, the real underlying issue (not just the surface fight), immediate action steps, a copy-paste conversation script, boundaries to set, escalation options tailored to your living situation, and an honest reality check. Chore Roulette: add your household and chores, get AI-balanced assignments weighted by effort (light/medium/heavy) that account for history across rounds — with a 'That's Not Fair!' button that reviews complaints against actual data and either revises assignments or explains with numbers why they're already fair.

How to use it

1. DISPUTE COURT: Describe the conflict, select category and duration, explain your side AND what the other person would say (be honest — the AI catches one-sided framing). Select your living situation for tailored escalation advice.
2. Review the verdict, fault split, and underlying issues. Copy the conversation script to rehearse before talking to your roommate.
3. CHORE ROULETTE: Add household members and chores (use quick-add pills or type custom ones). Tap 'Assign Chores' for AI-balanced distribution.
4. Check off chores as they're completed. Hit 'Finalize Round' to save to history — future assignments will account for past rounds.
5. If assignments feel unfair, tap 'That's Not Fair!' and describe the problem. The AI reviews your complaint against history data.

Example

Scenario: Your roommate keeps leaving dishes in the sink and you've brought it up twice but nothing changed. Also need to assign weekly chores fairly.

What you do: Dispute Court: describe the dish situation, select 'Chores' category, 'Weeks' duration, 'Going in circles' communication. Then switch to Chore Roulette, add both names and chores including dishes.

Result: Dispute tab: AI acknowledges your frustration but flags that repeated nagging without consequences isn't a strategy — gives you a specific conversation script with boundaries ('If dishes aren't done within 24 hours, I'll put them in a bin in your room'). Chore tab: assigns dishes to your roommate this round since history shows you've had them more, balances total effort points, and explains why.

Tips

• Be honest about the other person's perspective in Dispute Court — the AI is trained to detect one-sided framing and will call it out in the reality check
• The conversation script is the most valuable output — copy it and rehearse before the actual conversation
• In Chore Roulette, finalize rounds consistently so the history data stays accurate — the AI uses it to prevent streaks
• The effort system means 1 heavy chore (bathroom) = 3 light chores (trash) — it balances total effort, not just count
• Use 'That's Not Fair!' with specifics ('I always get bathroom') rather than vague complaints — the AI checks actual numbers

Common pitfalls

• Don't skip the 'Their side' field — a one-sided account gets a weaker verdict. The AI will note it was only hearing one perspective.
• Don't ignore the Reality Check section — it's the most honest part and might tell you something you don't want to hear
• Don't use Dispute Court to 'win' arguments — it's a mediator, not your lawyer. It will side against you if you're wrong.
• Chore assignments only get fairer over time if you finalize rounds — skipping rounds means no history for the AI to balance against
• If you clear history, the AI loses all context about past imbalances — only do this if you're starting fresh with new roommates
