First Update: Initial Product & User Learnings

What we learned from the first iteration of Reflecta.

Around 3 months ago we started working on Reflecta. The problem we want to solve is simple: make the world's best tools to navigate inner work and personal evolution accessible to anyone.

Not everyone can afford to work with leadership coaches and mentors. So with this intention in mind, we built the first version of Reflecta.

So far, it consists of 2 components. A distraction-free writing interface to journal. And an AI-guide called Sage which is designed to help you in your personal evolution journey.

After the first user cohort, we learned that the biggest problem for people to stick with journaling in the long-run is that after the first few weeks they drop off because they don't see the tangible benefit.

The truth is, journaling and practices that facilitate looking within don't give immediate results. But rather, it's a subtle process over time that helps you live your life more fully, and harmonically.

Right now, we are working on re-designing Sage to help with that problem. And gently guide people to develop a journaling practice that sticks.

We will release a new version soon, and iterate with the next user cohort.
