My Favorite Use Case for AI

I've journaled since 2015. Flipping back through old entries, the same destructive thought loops show up year after year.

What I always wanted was a Jiminy Cricket or Navi from Zelda sitting on my shoulder. Books, movies, and music help, but they feel static. You hit a problem, dig through a shelf, hope a quote lines up.

So I built something a bit more fluid. Every day I journal, and the entry gets weighed against a library of precepts I've embedded. A few seconds later it hands back the one that fits. The current MVP contains just Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Nine times out of ten it lands.

The real value is the timing. I can catch a spiraling thought early in the morning and if I'm disciplined again before I fall asleep.

Old-school practice. New-school feedback loop.
