We just wrapped the Orbit Awards for AI Dictation and now we re moving to the next category: AI Automation.
This one is for the tools that actually do work for you clearing chores, running workflows in the background, or quietly taking over a chunk of your week without turning into another dashboard you have to babysit.
Journal & Notes is an AI-powered diary that turns your diary into interactive 3D word clouds and emotion maps.Every entry automatically gets:
• Sentiment analysis & mood score
• Location-based emotion map (see where you were happiest)
• Interactive 3D word cloud you can rotate and explore
• One-tap AI rewriting to make your writing more beautiful
• Weather + precise address attached
• Full CloudKit sync (end-to-end private)
• Multiple themes & perfect export

I have been managing several communities and doing marketing for over 3 or 4 years, and I have noticed a pattern where about 80% of people "test" you to see if you will do things for them for free.
I also notice that people from certain countries tend to do this more often. For example, Central and Eastern Europe + Southeast Asia.
On the contrary, people from the USA and China are willing to pay.
