The AI that's becoming ubiquitous (and a bit forced) could be used to help people and communities - things like countering polarized media, helping people get involved in civic life, and coordinating collective action.

I built an app that's a small step/experiment in that direction; it uses Ai to help people find common ground on divisive topics. It's not sticky at all, just a demo of using this thing as a personal lite-mediator.

The origin: My partner and I were stuck debating corrupt countries at an airport. Turns out we were using different definitions of corruption - we were both right actually, but couldn't see it. That began the first clear 'app idea'. (That's where the name came from: b'right = both right)

What the app does:

  - Two people enter their perspectives on a topic (or use "Listen In" to speak it)
  - AI searches the web for context
  - Returns common ground + nuanced additions to each view, with sources
  - Use when needed (maybe once a month... maybe extended family gatherings), not daily

Technical details:

  - No login, no tracking, no conversation storage (unless you flag a response)
  - Stripe payments (Revolut Pay available)
  - 25% of revenue → carbon offsets (carbon negative)
  - Export as PDF (no app-install spam)
  - Live on EU Play Store, global expansion soon

The broader context on why I was interested to make this app, is the social service angle above.

What could AI as public infrastructure look like, and how might it work? That's the kind of discussion/feedback I'd love to get. The app is a nice idea, but it's a proof of that concept more than anything.

Looking for feedback: - Does this idea resonate? - Any other use cases for this concept? - How would you increase impact in this scenario?

Thanks for reading.
