THEA Labs is an applied AI research and product studio focused on high-stakes communication, conflict resolution, and emotionally intelligent language systems.

We design and deploy AI models that interpret tone, sentiment, intent, and power dynamics in emotionally charged conversations. Our technology helps organisations manage interpersonal risk, reduce tension, and support better decision-making in moments where language carries real consequences.

Our work spans legal, HR, education, and co-parenting environments. These are sectors where miscommunication, emotional volatility, and unresolved conflict can lead to reputational damage, financial loss, and personal harm.

At the centre of our work is THEA, our AI intelligence engine. THEA goes beyond traditional sentiment analysis. It detects escalation patterns, manipulative cues, and imbalances in tone or power. It delivers real-time guidance to improve clarity, accountability, and trust in difficult conversations.

THEA is built to scale across sensitive negotiations, compliance-focused communication, and emotionally complex disputes. It powers both our consumer-facing tools and enterprise-grade integrations.

THEA is currently in beta across two consumer products:

Defuze, a lightweight mobile tool for resolving personal and workplace conflict

Defuze Family, a platform for co-parents, mediators, and courts

We also provide enterprise integration via API for legal, safeguarding, and strategic negotiation contexts.

We are building the infrastructure for emotional governance applying intelligence, not just automation, to the hardest conversations in society.
