This research explores the role of AI in the process of relationship dissolution. The study involved 21 participants and aimed to understand the current role of technology in breakups, the needs and support individuals require during the process, and how AI could address these needs. Findings suggest that AI could aid in understanding the relationship leading up to the breakup, act as a mediator, assist in crafting appropriate wording and language during breakup conversations, and support companionship, reflection, recovery, and growth after a breakup. The study also identifies an overlap between the breakup process and the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change.
