Journaling can be tedious. It takes months to recognize patterns and it’s impossible to comb through past entries. lele and I are excited to announce @writewithpearl, a journal that reflects with you. ✍️ Pearl visualizes and synthesizes your journal entries with AI-powered emotional understanding, weekly reviews, & more 💌.... Link in thread:show more

Rates of depression and anxiety among young people have doubled in the past decade. One in five adults experience mental health concerns. Journaling can be as effective as cognitive-behavioral therapy for reducing the risk of depression in young adults.

Like your paper journal, Pearl has an simple and intuitive UI you can dump your thoughts in, while also acting as an in-line therapist—inviting you to dig deeper into your thoughts just by hitting tab.

Pearl’s emotional understanding allows you to visualize and interpret larger patterns in your mood, automatically and at a glance. Every week, we update your dashboard with key insights from your entries, thematic trends week over week, and to-dos that you can’t forget.

@CherrilynnZ @writewithpearl a very thoughtful way to use ai for this interface. in a time where ai is just being used for the sake of it, very refreshing to see it used in a way that pays attention to detail and is actually useful you guys killed it

@CherrilynnZ @writewithpearl woah this is sick! continuous journaling with the intent to reflect rather than accomplish something

@CherrilynnZ @writewithpearl Super cool! The design is amazing...

Hey @emilyzsh and @CherrilynnZ I tried @writeiwthpearl and it's beautiful! I've been using dot for awhile too, and pearl is honestly amazing and different from dot in the sense that pearl's main focus is not to empathize or console (AI as a tech in general does this badly) but to get you to reflect and guide you out of a narrower thought pattern you might be stuck in.
