Parts
An AI voice companion for IFS therapy practice that remembers your inner world between sessions.
The question
What happens between sessions?
Internal Family Systems therapy can change how you relate to yourself. But the insights fade. The language slips away. You forget how to speak to your parts. What if you had a companion who remembered your inner world and could help you continue those conversations when your therapist isn't there?
The itch
What if AI could hold the map?
I came to IFS a while back and it genuinely helped. Talking to different parts of yourself as if they have their own logic and needs just clicked for me. But remembering the language, tracking which parts I'd worked with, noticing patterns across months, it all slipped. My journal became a scattered mess of half-formed insights. I kept thinking: what if AI could hold the map of my inner world between sessions?
What happened
Parts is live as an early beta
It's a voice companion built around IFS. You speak naturally, it guides an IFS-informed dialogue, and at the end generates a summary you can share with your therapist. It keeps track of the parts you've discovered and notices which ones tend to show up together. It's still young and finding its shape. I'd genuinely love to hear what resonates and what feels off.
Speak naturally. Parts listens, remembers, and helps you see patterns across sessions.

Parts is live at parts.family. It's an early beta. I built it for myself first and I'm sharing it because it feels worth exploring together. Your feedback is what shapes it.

The voice interface uses a GLSL shader with Perlin noise rendered on a canvas, giving the orb its breathing, responsive quality. Under the hood, the AI is guided by IFS principles to ask the kinds of questions a well-trained therapist might. It stores each part you discover along with anything meaningful about them. It picks up on which parts tend to appear together and what tends to trigger protectors. At the end of each session it writes a summary legible to a therapist if you choose to share it. Built solo.
