Internal Family Systems

Every part of you is welcome here

An AI companion grounded in Internal Family Systems. Explore your parts with curiosity, build self-leadership, and develop a relationship with all of who you are.

01

Private by design

Conversations are encrypted on your device. We can’t read them, and neither can anyone else.

02

Grounded in the model

Not generic therapy talk. Real IFS concepts — parts, protectors, exiles, and Self — woven into every response.

03

On your schedule

No appointments, no waiting rooms. Show up whenever you’re ready to explore.

What makes it different

01

Trained on the real framework

Not generic wellness talk. PartsWork is grounded in IFS as developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz — parts, protectors, exiles, Self, the 8 C’s. Every response uses the actual vocabulary and follows the actual process.

Session
I notice some resistance coming up. Like a part of me doesn't want to go there.
That sounds like a protector. What do you notice when you turn toward it with curiosity — how do you feel toward this part right now?
02

Conversations that remember

Pick up where you left off. Your encrypted conversation history means the AI companion can reference what you’ve explored before, helping you build continuity in your practice.

A space that feels safe

No judgment. No diagnosis. No pressure to “fix” anything. PartsWork creates conditions for your parts to feel heard — the same way a good therapist would hold space.

For the first time I didn't feel like I had to explain myself. I just described what I was feeling and the response met me exactly there.

Who it’s for

Built for wherever you actually are

PartsWork meets you at your own pace — whether you’re just getting started or deepening a practice you’ve carried for years.

Between therapy sessions

You’re working with an IFS therapist and want a space to continue exploring parts between appointments.

Curious about IFS

You’ve read about Internal Family Systems and want to experience it firsthand before committing to therapy.

Building a daily practice

You want a consistent, private space for self-reflection grounded in a real therapeutic framework.

Returning to inner work

You’ve done IFS work before and want to reconnect with the practice on your own terms.

Security & Privacy

Your inner world stays yours

Therapy-adjacent conversations carry real vulnerability. We engineered this platform around that fact — not as a feature, but as a foundation. The privacy model is technical, auditable, and uncompromising.

Client-side encryption

Every conversation is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it ever leaves your browser. The server stores only ciphertext — plaintext never touches our infrastructure.

Your passphrase, your data

We never store or transmit your passphrase. It exists only in your memory. If you lose it, your conversations are unrecoverable — by design, not by accident.

No training on your data

Anthropic’s API terms prohibit using inputs for model training. What you share with PartsWork does not teach the model — it stays in the session and nowhere else.

Open by design

No dark patterns. No data harvesting. No ads. This is a tool built for your inner work, not a product built around it. Transparency is the only policy we know.

Learn the language of your parts

Your parts have been waiting

All it takes is one honest conversation to begin.
