AI Therapy Journal - Makino

I am a lifelong journaler, starting back in the 1990s, when the actual hardcover journaling books were in style. With digital journals available and now AI being a new way of life, I decided to try an AI app. I tried the Evolve and LifeLight but didn’t like having to pay a monthly membership or not get the added insights that AI journals can give. I downloaded this app last night and it is so much better in regards to the insights and the price. First off, it’s a free app, which is nice. The insights you get from the AI counselors are priceless. There are 4 counselor preferences you set can set your insights to, from the original Makino, who offers a bit of history and psychology, to intelligent and friendly Ruby, to the last one who offers brutal honesty. I tried all 4 and they were all spot on. I used the open journal method. There’s also an audio option. You write or say your entry, then in a couple of minutes, you get a summary and feedback with action steps from the counselor. It’s brilliant. It’s the same advice I would get from a live person and available in the palm of my hands for a better free price. More importantly, it gives me a safe and insightful space to air out my feelings and experiences. I highly recommend it.
