I built a structured CBT engine that sits on top of LLMs and enforces cognitive workflow logic before generating responses.
Most AI tools in this space are purely conversational. This system instead:
Extracts cognitive distortion signals
Calibrates emotional intensity
Applies rule-based risk-tier logic
Separates deterministic detection from generative drafting
Enforces tone presets and word caps to avoid generic output
It runs in two modes:
Reflect → structured self-guided reframing Assist → structured signal extraction + constrained response drafting for coaches/therapists
The goal wasn’t to build another chatbot, but to explore whether LLMs can be constrained inside a deterministic cognitive architecture.
Would love feedback from people building structured AI systems or workflow-constrained LLM tools.
