You're In Business

Emisary is a very early-stage alpha project utilizing AI for personal journaling and behavioral analysis. While the concept of AI-driven self-awareness is timely, the project currently lacks any verifiable traction, active user base, or revenue. The technology appears to be a standard integration of the ChatGPT API without significant proprietary infrastructure demonstrated yet. Usefulness is theoretical rather than proven at this stage.

Description
Emisary is a diary with actionable AI feedback, so you can learn how you are perceived and evolve intentionally Users are prompted to write about specific moments from their lives on a daily basis. AI analyzes behavioral and emotional cues across a proprietary ten-dimensional framework, so you can track your perceived demeanor over time and intentionally make changes.
Audience Reach
I have just completed my alpha release so the reach is extremely limited at the moment. I am receiving feedback from friends and family.
Target Users
Emisary is for everyone who wonders how they are perceived by others, and who would like to write about their own life and get a better understanding of how they are coming across.
