Show HN: A Structured CBT Orchestration Engine Built on Top of LLMs

A Structured CBT Orchestration Engine Built on Top of LLMs is active in the show hn launch space.

Profile

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 signalsCalibrates emotional intensityApplies rule-based risk-tier logicSeparates deterministic detection from generative draftingEnforces tone presets and word caps to avoid generic outputIt runs in two modes:Reflect → structured self-guided reframing Assist → structured signal extraction + constrained response drafting for coaches/therapistsThe goal wasn’t to build another chatbot, but to explore whether LLMs can be constrained inside a deterministic cognitive archit

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
