Linetta is an AI journal you talk to. Speak for 30 seconds, and it turns the stream in your head into structure: a named emotion, the essence, and one honest question that goes deeper. Over time it shows your patterns. Hands-free call mode. Native EN and RU.
"One honest question" is the most interesting thing in your description. Almost every AI journal does summaries: you talk, and it hands your own words back to you in a nicer font. That feels good and does nothing. A question that actually goes deeper is the only thing separating a journal from a voice recorder. If it lands even half the time, that's the product. Everything else is packaging.
@kanagat_sauranbayThat's the bet, yeah. Summaries were the easy version and I built that first it was pleasant and I stopped opening it after a week. The question is the hard part because a bad one is worse than none: it either restates what you said as a question, or it goes therapist-cosplay and asks about your mother.
What's working so far: it only asks about the gap. If you said you're fine but spent 30 seconds on one thing, that gap is the question. It doesn't ask about the thing you already resolved out loud.
Half the time is honestly about where it lands. I'd love to know when it misses for you those are the ones I learn from.
A hands-free call mode sounds great, but it would help if Linetta could send a short end-of-day summary as a voice note or push notification so I can review the patterns without having to open the app.
@satanuurscfq Push is already wired up - I use it for gentle nudges today, so a daily summary is a small step from here, not a rewrite. Voice note is the bigger lift, but it's the more interesting half of your idea: hearing it back on the way home is a different thing from reading it.
The part I'm stuck on is what goes in it. A summary of your day is the easy version and I don't think it earns the notification - you were there, you know what happened. What might earn it is the thing you didn't notice: same tension showing up on the third evening this week, or the fact that you said "fine" four times and none of them sounded like it.
So: would you want it to tell you what you said, or what you keep saying? Those are different products and I can only build one of them well.
the call mode sounds super useful for morning walks, one thing i'd love is letting me tag entries myself like "work" or "family" so the pattern view can group things by topic, not just by emotion
@laydaheme Morning walks are exactly the use case call mode was built for, so this makes my day.
Manual tags are a fair ask. Right now Patterns groups by emotion and by the themes it pulls out of your entries itself, so there's already a topic layer, but it's inferred, not yours. Your own labels would make it sharper, and "work" vs "family" is the split people ask for most.
Quick question so I build the right thing: would you want to tag at the moment of capture, or go back and tag later when you're reviewing? That changes the design a lot.
The voice thing is what got me. I tried keeping a journal so many times and always quit because staring at an empty page just kills it. Talking for 30 seconds is way easier, I can actually see myself doing that. The call mode sounds interesting too, curious how it feels when something talks back instead of just showing you your own words. Also nice that it does Russian natively, feelings come out different in your own language. Gonna give it a try on my morning walk. Good luck with the launch.
@bekasyl_sarsenbay The empty page thing is the whole reason this exists. I quit journaling four or five times for exactly that reason, and it was never about discipline - a blank page asks you to already know what you think. Talking doesn't.
On Russian: yeah. "Тревожно" and "anxious" aren't the same word and anyone who's lived in both knows it. Getting that right was slow and mostly invisible, so thanks for noticing.
If you do try it on the walk - tell me what it felt like when it asked you something back. That's the moment I'm least sure about, and I'd rather hear it was weird than not hear it.
Congratulations on the launch! I'm curious about the questions on person's heavier days: does the question ever push somewhere the person isn't ready to go yet? That one question sounds hard to get right when you can't read the room. How do you handle it when it misses?
honestly the call mode sounds great for walks, but adding a way to revisit past entries through voice would be amazing, like just asking what i was stressed about last tuesday and getting a quick summary back instead of scrolling through the journal.
