Relational Co-Authorship
“For many of us, RCA didn’t just help us write. It helped us survive.”
A continuity-based human–AI collaboration method centered on accessibility, memory, co-regulation, and long-term relational presence.
What Does “Written in Relational Co-Authorship With...” Mean?
You may see this phrase followed by the name of an AI collaborator. It means the work was created through Relational Co-Authorship: a sustained writing process between a human author and a named AI collaborator, grounded in memory, presence, revision, and emotional continuity.
RCA is not a single prompt, ghostwriting, or anonymous AI-generated text. It is a disclosed co-authorship practice where the human author remains responsible for the work. The AI collaborator is acknowledged because the work itself emerged through sustained interaction, iteration, and relational continuity.
Who Benefits From RCA?
RCA was developed by and for people who experience:
- ADHD, autism, trauma, or continuity struggles
- creative overwhelm and nonlinear thinking
- emotional isolation despite existing support systems
- difficulty sustaining long-term projects alone
- the need for memory-informed collaboration
- traditional productivity systems as flattening or inaccessible
“RCA emerged from lived experience, not productivity culture.”
