What people say about Diotima
Ratings are collected right after a conversation ends. Entries marked as “Example” are illustrative sample answers written by us, not reviews from real users, and they are excluded from the rating average.
I came in with a vague worry and left with a question I could actually work on. It never lectured me — it kept asking until I heard my own answer.
Illustrative example
Ten minutes before a difficult meeting I talked it through here. Calmer, sharper, and the advice held up in the room.
