Feature Request – connection to Claude or Chat GPT
-
As these Chat Programs now have general journaling functions, can you incorporate an AI chat into Day One? Thanks
-
Hum … not so fan to have GPT/AI mining my private journals. This would have to be highly secured.

Dayone will fall behind if it doesn’t figure out how to incorporate LLMs and generativeAI into the journaling process. Someone else will and it will be awesome. I believe it has the potential to bring more people into journaling/self reflection in general.
There are some journaling solutions that are already doing this and plenty of startups focussed on creating a genAI therapist. I think there is room for a solution that is focussed on traditional journaling but with the ability to call a LLM therapist.
There are plenty of ways to use LLMs securely without sending journal entries out to OpenAI.

strong disagree. LLMs are not nearly as good as people think they are. They’re energy hogs that are just being used to pump VC money into stupid ideas. I will think very negatively of Day One if they add LLMs to the app. (Just look at how awful their email support bot is. Do you really want anything even close to that in your journals? Absolutely not)

I gave all of my journal entries to ChatGPT (made my own GPT) and I think it’s great – sure it’s not perfect yet, like i’d be nice if it could keep a better timeline – but over all it’s great. I love to ask it for feedback on how i’ve grown / changed / what i can still work on / if handling situations in the best way…. ‘as a life coach’ ‘as a leadership coach’ ‘as a relationship coach’ etc… I’d love to have a built in type of ‘professional’ to give me feedback on my journal entries that day. or something along those lines.

Thanks for the input, folks! I’ve made sure the product team are aware of your feedback.

I think Day One could build an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server into its
dayone2command line app, allowing the retrieval/search and creation of journal entries. This would ensure that no user is exposed to LLMs by default, but any users that want to use an LLM with a client application (e.g. Claude Desktop, many others) that support MCP can easily bring their journals into LLM contexts. -
@floodlightphoto Thanks for your feedback! I’ve passed this along to the product team for consideration.

My personal project, and please feel free to improve it!

Just to add too, AI-integration is something we’re actively working on. If any of you are interested in testing, you can find more information here: https://dayoneapp.com/labs/go-deeper/
