  Thank you!

  In terms of knowing when/​where to apply the energy, AI isn’t quite smart enough for this just yet. I call this “Hugging the curve”—AI should be able to ratchet up and down the intensity of your challenges (ie, on a meditation kick you may meditate for 30 mins a day, then when you lose motivation, it should drop it down intelligently to a manageable level). The emotional intelligence/​memory to plan/​prioritise isn’t quite there yet, but it should be very soon!

  Hey Eshvy!

  Retention is a really tough one to answer questions on, sadly—it very much depends on where the user came from (ie, a TikTok ad vs an organic intentional search). Happy to answer any other questions though!
