Feature: The Oracle
Chat with your past self and history’s greatest minds.
The Oracle is RAG-powered: it pulls relevant entries from your Vault and passages from a curated wisdom corpus (Marcus Aurelius, Lao Tzu, and five others). Your question gets answered using your own words and timeless philosophy—not generic advice.
At a glance
RAG over your history
Answers use your real entries, not a blank slate. We retrieve the last 50+ relevant entries.
Philosophical grounding
Wisdom from seven thinkers (Stoics, Taoists, etc.) is woven into every response.
Private, no training
Your chats and entries are never used to train public models.
Fast, grounded answers
Embeddings and RAG mean responses reference your life and the corpus—not hallucinations.
How it works
Demystifying the AI—so you know exactly what happens when you use it.
You ask a question about a life decision.
e.g., "How do I handle this conflict with my manager?" or "What would Marcus Aurelius say about my fear of failure?"
The Oracle scans your Vault and the wisdom corpus.
We embed your question, run vector search on your last 50+ entries and on the philosophical corpus, then send both contexts to the model. You get a response grounded in your history and in wisdom, not generic advice.
A grounded, actionable response.
You receive a reply that references your past (e.g., "You’ve written about similar situations before") and applies a philosophical lens. Actionable next steps, not platitudes.
Real-world use cases
See yourself using The Oracle—these are the jobs it’s built for.
The Late Night Loop
Emotional regulation
You’re spinning at 2 a.m. You ask the Oracle: "Am I overreacting?" It surfaces past entries where you felt the same and how you got through it—plus a Stoic or Taoist angle.
The Monday Morning Plan
Productivity / Decision
You have a big decision. You ask: "What did I decide last time something like this came up?" The Oracle pulls those entries and helps you apply that logic (or a new lens) to today.
The Annual Review
Pattern recognition
You ask: "What do I complain about most?" The Oracle uses your Vault to surface themes and patterns—and can tie them to wisdom so you see them as growth levers.
The Quick Capture
On-the-go logging
You log on the go; later you ask the Oracle about it. "Why do I keep feeling X after meetings?" It uses your recent entries and the corpus to give you a grounded, actionable answer.
