Emphasizing Reflection and Self-Understanding

This app provides the space for reflection, either through type or voice, so that the user may brain dump everything on their mind. With the power of AI, Olanah generates data that users find motivating, such as the total word count and journaling sessions, as well as data that provides insights on things the user may be overlooking. Insights provides a valence scale that registers a brain dump entry on two data points. The first, positive or negative tone, and the second, high or low energy. In psychology, the melding of these two data points provides an encompassing look into the emotions a user is feeling. Clarity on the sort of emotion conveyed, especially over time, provides the user with a consistent and insightful look into their brain dump entries and emotions. The archive generates key words, or tags, to help locate past entries that may have included certain names or topics. By enabling the user to search and parse through past entries, revisiting past brain dumps becomes efficient and applicable. For example, a user is struggling with school and consistenty showing high negative energy when journaling about the topic. Check out the "school" tag to view how past entries shaped up to be emotionally. Olanah provide insights but also a safe space for individuals who may be facing overwhelming emotions a place to reflect and gain insights without judgement. This project was completed in collaboration between the Olanah team and teammates at Indiana University.
