Communicating online can be hard to navigate, not knowing when someone is joking, being passive-aggressive, or just replying bluntly to a message. With more and more people working from home, using dating apps, and speaking to their friends and family more over text than over the phone, it has become increasingly difficult not to overthink every single message without a smiley at the end – wait, is the smiley actually sarcastic?
Enter The Judge, a completely free AI tool that aims to take away any of the doubt and give you a breakdown of exactly what your boss, best friend, or the person you’re dating really meant from their message. It’s an easy-to-use tool made by the folks over at goblin.tools, and it could become your new favorite way to take advantage of artificial intelligence.
Here’s how to use The Judge to make sure you don’t misread the tone of that next message that has you asking all your friends for their thoughts.

Happy with the tone of the message? You can reply as normal and go ahead with your day. If you’re struggling to find the right reply, however, use The Judge to Suggest a response by clicking the “Suggest a response” button. The Judge will write a reply just like Apple Intelligence’s Smart Reply feature.
Never misread a message again
The Judge isn’t human, that’s for sure. But sometimes having an external eye on messages can prevent awkward situations and help you navigate your online social life that little bit easier. Next time you’re struggling to read the room with your Tinder match, or you need help replying professionally to your manager, think of The Judge – it’s totally free and incredibly useful. Just remember, it’s AI, so don’t take its word as gospel, otherwise, you could end up making your social interactions much, much worse.
Try The Judge for yourself, you never know it might completely change your online social skills.
