Frequently asked questions

A framework for democratic problem solving, leadership, and communication. It gives you a repeatable three-step Communication Protocol (understand yourself, understand each other, then seek a solution), backed by 12 Wisdom Principles and 4 Leadership Tools. It is built to turn conflict into progress, in workplaces, families, schools, and communities.

Yes. The entire system is free to read and always will be: every page, the complete PDF guide, the interactive worksheets, and the annotated example conversations. You only pay if you want unlimited conversations with the AI assistants.

They are two AI assistants that apply the system to your situation. The Guide walks you through the Communication Protocol for a specific conflict, step by step, and helps you leave with a concrete plan. The Mentor is an expert on the whole system, so it can explain the framework, the protocol, the principles, and the tools, or help you build your own.

Use the Guide when you have a real situation to work through and want a plan. Use the Mentor when you want to learn or think about the system itself. Both draw on the same source material, so they never contradict the framework.

No. You can send 3 messages with no account at all. Create a free account and you get 10 in total. These are a lifetime allowance, not monthly, so you can spend them whenever you actually need them.

Unlimited conversations with both assistants are $5 a month, or $50 a year (two months free). You can cancel yourself anytime, in two clicks.

Yes. They are stored in your own account and visible only to you. Nobody at Beanchain reads them, and they are not used to train models. You can delete any conversation, or your whole account, whenever you like.

Yes. Teams get a shared dashboard, assistants you can ground in your own documents and share organization-wide, and per-person private history. It suits co-ops, schools, nonprofits, and small companies. Team plans start at $4 per person per month with a five-seat minimum.

Yes. With white-label pages you can serve a branded assistant on your own subdomain, with your logo and a sign-in that never leaves your brand. Setup is self-serve and takes minutes, with automatic HTTPS and no engineering required.

It is a Beanchain Process, created by David and Shannon Baxter of Beanchain Coffee. It grew out of running their own business and wanting a better, more democratic way to solve problems together.
