The AI automatically analyzes all your journal entries from the week every Sunday and creates a comprehensive summary. This appears in your journal overview and provides you with a structured review.

Automatically generated:

  • When: Every Sunday morning (Premium subscribers only)
  • Where: In your journal overview

What the Summary Contains

The AI recognizes connections and dynamically adapts the structure to your week. Typical content includes:

How the AI Works

Analysis Method

The AI:

  • Identifies key themes through frequency and context
  • Recognizes emotional patterns and intensities
  • Connects related entries
  • Extracts meaningful passages
  • Generates relevant reflection questions

Flexible Structure

The summary isn't rigidly predetermined. Different aspects can be in focus depending on your week and themes:

  • Event-filled weeks: Focus on happenings
  • Emotional weeks: Focus on feelings
  • Project weeks: Focus on progress
  • Quiet weeks: Focus on subtle changes

Practical Use

The Sunday Ritual

  1. Read summary - Go through it calmly
  2. Recognize patterns - What stands out?
  3. Note learnings - What do you take away?
  4. Plan week - What do you want to change?

Long-term View

  • Compare weeks and months
  • Recognize larger development arcs
  • Document personal growth

AI Limitations

What the AI can do:

  • Analyze and structure written content
  • Recognize patterns and trends
  • Show connections

What the AI cannot do:

  • Include unmentioned things
  • Replace professional counseling

The weekly summary is a powerful tool for self-reflection. It helps you recognize patterns, learn from experiences, and start the new week more consciously.
