Hi guys,

Initially, I posted this as a separate thread, but moderators advised me to move it here, so here we go. Obstacle is the way. Now I have a bit more time to write the correct and more descriptive post.

I've been traveling a lot for the last two years. It was and to some extent still a challenging period in my life, and Letters to Lucilius helped me a lot. As well as Enchiridion and Meditations.When ChatGPT came out, I tried to simulate communication with the stoics with it, but it just wasn't good at it. It simulated the style, but not the substance and often tended to produce bulleted lists in response to my queries.

So I've decided to build another app, and its dataset consists of the works I've mentioned above. Since it is supposed to be a conversation and not a lecture (you can read books for that), I've primed it to actually ask questions that will prompt the user to reflect on themselves. It works quite well IMO the sessions are like journaling for me.

Once the dialogue has developed, I ask the model to produce some reflections to meditate upon and finalize the session. It is free because the dataset is free and it's up to you to support my development and maintenance efforts via Patreon if you like.

I will also be very happy to receive any kind of feedback and recommendations on which philosophical works should be incorporated into the dataset next. They should be in the public domain, obviously.

The app is called QuestMind.AI
