Brainstorming #

Ideas during brainstorming #

| Rank | Idea | | 1 | An AI-based voice journaling platform that processes spoken reflections to detect emotional tone, mood trends, and core topics, offering personalized mental well-being feedback. | | 2 | A self-growth tracker where users build and evolve virtual “selves” representing different aspects of personality. | | 3 | A sleep-integrated dream and emotion journal that analyzes voice-recorded dreams and detects subconscious emotional trends. |

Problem validation #

1. VoiceDiary

Problem: People often struggle to identify and understand their emotional patterns, lack time or motivation for traditional journaling, and find it hard to reflect consistently.

Validation:

• Voice is perceived as a more natural and less effort-intensive method of self-expression in self-reflection contexts.

2. PersonaPulse

Problem: Many people feel disconnected from different parts of their personality (e.g., professional vs emotional self) and lack structured tools to develop personal traits in a holistic and engaging way.

Validation:

• Behavioral patterns suggest that people engage more when self-development is approached playfully or symbolically rather than abstractly.

3. Sleep-Sleep

Problem: Dreams are a rich source of emotional insight, but most people forget them quickly or lack a structured way to reflect on their subconscious thoughts.

Validation:

• Cognitive psychology suggests that reflecting on dream content can increase awareness of unresolved emotional issues.

Basic Requirements #

Target Users and Their Primary Needs #

Reflective Individuals: People interested in understanding themselves better, journaling, or mental wellness

• Need: A natural, non-intrusive way to reflect emotionally

Busy Individuals: People with limited time for self-reflection or therapy

• Need: A low-effort tool to track emotions and stress without interrupting routine

User Stories #

• As a user, I want to speak freely into the app so I can reflect without needing to write or plan.
• As a user, I want the experience to require minimal effort so I can use it even on busy or stressful days.
• As a user, I want the app to identify patterns in my mood and emotions over time so I can understand my mental state (statistics).
• As a user, I want the system to recognize tone and key themes in what I say so I can gain deeper self-insights.
• As a user, I want to receive recommendations so I can take small steps toward emotional well-being.
• As a user, I want the app to feel like a personal, private space so I can be honest and unfiltered in my entries.
