Statistics measure who you are on average.
A story shows who you really are.
NarraTyx starts from narrative psychology: the idea that identity is not a set of traits, but a story that is constantly being rewritten. NarraTyx® is the tool that brings that story to life.
The motivation
More data. Less understanding.
Organizations are investing heavily in data, assessments, and evidence-based HR. And rightly so. But there is a paradox that anyone who listens carefully has long known: the more we measure, the further we sometimes stand from what truly moves people. Raymond experienced this in many narrative conversations over the past decades. A different kind of data is needed; richer, more layered, more human.
Pim brought the technological perspective to it. What do large language models actually do, in their best form? They listen. They connect. They recognize patterns in what people say and how they say it. Not an oracle, but a patient conversational partner who never tires and never judges.
Together they saw the opening: the quality of a narrative conversation, that depth you feel when someone is truly heard, combined with the power of a virtual story coach.
NarraTyx is the synergy of humanity and technology.
Test vs. Story
Why it differs
Assessments have their value, but they rarely draw on source material from one's own life history.
The classic assessment
Measurement
Fills in a form; checkboxes Produces a characterization or color Scores are relative to a norm group The result is a final score, not a starting point Data owned by the provider Repeating rarely changes the outcome
NarraTyx
Conversation
Tells their story in their own words Produces a portrait, with quotes Content is unique, not compared The profile is a starting point for reflection Data owned by the narrator A second conversation shows growth
Our principles
What NarraTyx never deviates from.
We keep testing and improving based on new insights and innovations.
The narrator is the owner.
Your conversation, your profile, your data. Everything retrievable, everything deletable. Employers never gain access without explicit permission.
The profile is a starting point, not a stamp.
We never publish outcomes as a final judgment. The profile is always input for further conversation, never a closure of the case.
NarraTyx makes no distinctions
NarraTyx never works as a sorting machine. Technology is in service of humanity.
Transparent where AI speaks
Within NarraTyx you have a conversation with a virtual story coach. You can always reach out to the people behind NarraTyx.
Everything stays within Europe
Data and infrastructure within the EU. NarraTyx runs on a European server. Your data is safe and is never resold.
Focus only on what is present in the story
The profile shows what is consciously or unconsciously embedded in the personal story. No more, no less.
We didn't want to build an AI that knows you. We wanted to build an AI that helps you get to know yourself. That distinction is everything.Pim Godding Co-founder & Product Developer
Open methodology
Researchers, customers, and critical readers can look along and correct us when necessary.
It is not an ISO-standardized assessment. It is, however, a consistent way to structure a conversation. A compass, based on narrative psychology supplemented with insights from self-determination theory and organizational anthropology.
