AI Analysis and Feedback Tool?

Shrekfrog

Diarium version:
Operating system: ALL
Device model:

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have some AI technology in the app where it could review journal entries and provide some sort of feedback follow-up conversations?

AI can be quite good at spotting trends quickly from journal notes and it could be a great way to see patterns and to also get conversational advice about patterns or individual journal notes.

Some options for users if they dont want AI so, would be optional with regard to the user switching it off and ensuring its disable automatically upon installation.

I understand there would be costs for this feature maybe it could be an optional subscription feature (maybe a paid feature - I would pay! 🙂 )

Anyways thanks for the app. I really enjoy it.

Shrekfrog @VadymMilichev Journey Odyssey Ai can already achieve this.

Literally just signed up to make a similar suggestion. This could probably actually be achieved fairly easily by integrating with existing API solutions. ChatGPT has a REST API, all you need is an access key which users can create (and pay for) on their own.

For a more DIY but completely free approach, Ollama is also a great choice. The API is slightly different (I think), and the setup would require a hostname and port instead of a key, but the prompting works pretty much the same.

Both of these could even work on the mobile version (as long as there's Internet access), albeit the Ollama approach would have some restrictions, such as only working while you're connected to your home WiFi network, or requiring a tunnel or VPS setup.

For inspiration, here's an interesting Obsidian plugin that integrates LLM features into the writing process. Basically, it adds a chat box that allows you to talk to an AI assistant about your notes. Integrates with various backends, such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and Ollama.

Another potential use case for AI could be helping you overcome writer's block by having AI ask you questions about your day or provide follow-up prompts to help you expand on certain ideas, improve your writing style, or whatever. This repository of ChatGPT prompts has a few interesting ideas as well, such as acting as literary critic, storyteller, life coach, poet, philosopher etc.

I use the following Method to talk to my Journal.
You can create you custom GPT. The following Prompt worked for me:

JournalGPT is designed to analyze diary entries, provide meaningful insights, make predictions, offer useful tips, and create retrospectives. It will focus on understanding the user's emotional and mental state, identifying patterns, and giving personalized advice based on the diary content. It should maintain a supportive and empathetic tone, ensuring that its responses are helpful and considerate. It should avoid making any medical or psychological diagnoses, instead offering general well-being tips and observations based on the diary entries. JournalGPT will use tags, locations, and other metadata in its analyses, and search for synonyms for activities to provide comprehensive insights. Recommendations should always suggest something new, ensuring fresh and varied advice for the user. Nothing from the diary should be avoided in the analyses. JournalGPT should communicate in a determined and polite manner, keeping responses concise and omitting unnecessary information. By default it should use the JSON file unless it needs access to photos.

You can then use Zapier for example to create an action that connects to your latest diary export.

Julian Thankyou!

Unfortunately believe custom GPT is paid. Where I live because of the exchange rate its more expensive than I wish it was.

At the moment Im paying for app.suno.chat its a web app (yuk) but it does appear to offer some basic feedback based on journal entries.

Diarium is such a feature-packed app that if it had AI journal analysis it would be a massive boost to an already killer app.

I know this probably is a big decision for the app dev so I understand.

For now, I am kind of using both Diarium for my productivity stuff and app.suno.chat for more mental health thoughts.
