Passive Aggression Detector
The Passive Aggression Detector uses AI to identify the subtle art of saying something polite that means something devastating. Feed it an email, a Slack message, or a performance review, and it will surface the hidden daggers in phrases like 'per my last email,' 'as previously discussed,' and 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.' The translation field tells you what the person actually meant.
