"I shouldn't have to ask you
to do the dishes.
Living with someone is hard. Unspoken expectations make it harder.
The roommate struggle is real
"Their dishes have been in the sink for 4 days. I'm not their parent."
You shouldn't have to nag. But you also shouldn't have to live in filth.
"They had people over until 2am. On a Tuesday."
What's "reasonable" noise? What's "giving notice"? Everyone has different definitions.
"They keep the AC at 68. I'm freezing and paying for it."
Utility splits, temperature wars, who buys what—money makes everything awkward.
"We haven't talked in 3 weeks. We just... avoid each other."
Passive aggression is easier than confrontation. Until the lease renewal comes up.
You assumed you were on the same page.
"Clean" means different things to different people. So does "quiet," "fair," and "shared space." Without explicit agreements, you're both operating on assumptions.
The post-it notes and group chat rants aren't working. You need actual shared expectations—written down, agreed on, referenced later.
How it works
1. Talk it out (in text)
An AI mediator helps you both express what you actually need. No awkward face-to-face, no heated arguments.
2. Create house rules
Build a roommate agreement both of you actually believe in. Cleaning schedules, guest policies, quiet hours—all documented.
3. Point to it later
When something comes up, you have documentation. No more "I never agreed to that" or "that's not what we said."
What roommates agree on
Cleaning responsibilities and schedules

Shared supplies and groceries
Utility splits and thermostat rules

From roommates who tried it
"We'd been passive-aggressively leaving dishes for each other for months. 20 minutes with the AI mediator and we had an actual cleaning schedule we both agreed to. Haven't fought about it since."
— College roommates, 2nd year living together
"My roommate's boyfriend was basically living with us rent-free. I didn't know how to bring it up. The mediator helped us set a guest policy without it becoming a fight."

Questions
What if my roommate won't participate?
Send them the invite. The AI is neutral and won't take sides. Most people are more willing to engage with a mediator than have a direct confrontation. If they still won't—that tells you something too.
Is this legally binding?
It's not a legal contract, but it's a documented agreement you both consented to. It's useful for setting expectations and having something to reference—not for court.
Can I use this for a new roommate before we move in?
Yes! That's actually the best time. Set expectations before problems start. Discuss the hard stuff—guests, cleaning, noise—while everyone's still being polite.
