gm legends! I'm Ken: founder, developer, and daily user of Text Affirmations. This is actually a rebuild of a product that I built in the depths of the pandemic, and have been using ever since. The early version was decent enough for my personal use, but now that we've got LLMs, I've been able to rebuild the messaging engine and really make it shine for others as well. Like for many folks, the pandemic was a very tough time for me. Between lockdowns, layoffs, imploding friendships, and pets passing over the rainbow bridge, I was really going through it. I needed something that could interrupt my thought spirals and nudge me in a positive direction. So I created a delivery system that uses intelligently randomized timing and goes to my text messages, all so that I wouldn't be able to ignore it. It started with mostly gratitude prompts and affirmations, things that I researched and wrote personally. Now there is an AI engine that looks beyond just gratitude and affirmations. It draws from psychological frameworks (like Atomic Habits, CBT, Positive Psychology and others) to write messages on the fly and respond to you, all in your text thread. You can also write messages to yourself and have those go into the daily mix. A 2-min setup quiz collects your goals and intentions, and a memory system updates based on your responses so that it can stay up to date with you. It even has the ability to create scheduling directives so that you can tell it things like "I want you to check in with me with gym reminders on weekday afternoons." I've been collecting feedback and refining the rebuild for over 4 months now, and I feel like its finally time to take the plunge and launch it here on PH. All in all I've sent 105,595 messages and counting since the system was created in 2022. This isn't ad supported, so there is a subscription. There's always a 7-day free trial, but you can use PH99 to get the first month after that for $0.99. When we work on ourselves, we make the world a little better one day at a time, and I'm here to support that! I'm happy to answer any questions about how it works, the AI harness behind it, or anything else. Thanks for checking it out!
