The parts of an AI feature that should not be AI

@OceanMind builds your five-minute practice at request time from two answers: what you want out of the next five minutes, and where your nervous system is right now. A model writes it. This month we moved a good part of that work into ordinary code, and the practices are steadier for it.
Why we changed it

A model is strong at language and at choosing between options. Holding a limit, doing arithmetic on seconds and remembering what you did last week are not that kind of problem. Those three moved to code, where they can simply be computed.

What we changed

The protocol limits are now worked out before the model is asked for anything, and what comes back is checked against them: how slow the breath goes, how long a hold may run at the activation you reported, how long the session is.

We set out to fix retention. The hole was somewhere else

More than 4 in 5 people who registered for OceanMind never did the one thing OceanMind exists for.

Not once. Not a single practice.

Don't know when you'll hit your 5-hour claude limit? This solves it 💪

Hey everyone. I use Claude for everything. I'm sure you too.

My biggest pain with it? Not knowing when I'll hit the 5-hour window limit.

Turns out, you can use Claude, to update Claude's UI and show you your current usage.
