I got to chat with Daniel about his mind-blowing app that has completely changed how I journal (read: I actually journal multiple times a week now!) ๐ฅณ
In this episode, we cover:
- The Story of Life Note: How and why Daniel built the app, plus the art of AI prompting, modeling, and layering.
- The Heart, Mind & Meditation: Daniel's experience living abroad and attending 10-day Vipassana meditation retreats.
- The Future of Mental Health: The current state of AI-guided journalling, therapy and mental health.
Whether you're an AI nerd, a journaling enthusiast (or trying to be!), or just curious about the intersection of tech and mindfulness, this episode is for you.

Try for free on Apple Store | Google Play | Web
Use code TDC during checkout on mylifenote.ai
Note from Kai: to get the discount to work, make sure you purchase the annual subscription directly from the website, not through the app. Your subscription will work everywhere including the app, but the initial purchase needs to happen on the web (to avoid the crazy app store fees).
