# Why use Empatyzer instead of a general-purpose AI chat?

A general-purpose AI chat can discuss almost any topic, while Empatyzer is built for workplace conversations: Em uses your assessment, the person or group you select and your situation, so you do not rebuild that context each time.

When the colleague is a member of your currently selected organization, has completed the required part of the assessment and has not turned off advice about themselves, Em also takes into account how the two of you differ. Conversations about one person keep their own thread, and managers, administrators and other users cannot see them. Em focuses on communication, relationships and people management, and two personalized micro-lessons a week keep developing your skills between conversations.
