AI Copilot For Your Life

Since I first started this substack I’ve been talking about using AI as a resource to:

• learn faster

• connect ideas

• synthesize information

• organize lines of effort / manage projects

…and in general, to be a copilot we can use in our journey to grow and become more. I wrote the piece below in our 2nd month, back in the summer of 2023. That was pre GPT-4 folks. It outlines my first attempt at articulating the use of AI as an operating system for “mastery”.

Its a great quick read on what I think AI can help every human gain each day.

Think about the compounding force for growth across all of humanity.

Eventually, the “AI Life Copilot” language emerged in beta testing and became a much cleaner way of painting the picture of what I wanted to use the rising power of AI for — to win consistently at life by growing and progressing constantly.

This is when the ChatGPT-based system evolved into a standalone web app called Orion with 3 key features that utilize AI to help you achieve your goals:

1. Get AI Planning (turning a goal into smaller pieces)

2. Generate AI Advice (getting advice on how your journey is going)

3. Speak with the AI Council of Advisors (talking about topics with AI recreated specialists and historical greats)

Then the development efforts got serious: we added dark mode.

Jokes aside, we added a lot more than dark mode.

Orion now has RPG elements to track how your habit & task completion is translating to improvements in your real personal growth.

You can see that my career, body & mind are getting a ton of development attention. There are warning signs however… Unless I am careful, my lagging spirit or relationships scores will cause me to underperform or not feel my best.

We are integrated beings living a holistic life, and we must develop across all of these areas. A weak link can undermine the entire chain of achievement and well-being.

To support this, Paid users of Orion will receive an additional feature: Weekly AI Planning — the AI can “see” your goals, your habits, your tasks and it puts together a pro forma plan to help you block out your week.

Please come support our Product Hunt launch of Orion on May 1!

I made Orion because nothing else like it existed. I wanted to leverage the rising power of AI to coordinate my goal achievement efforts. Ultimately, this required breaking goals down into smaller parts (habits and tasks) and then tracking progress across multiple areas of life. Orion is a gamified goal achievement engine that employs AI to enhance accountability and motivation in task completion and habit formation. It promotes a systematic and consistent approach to achieving goals because Orion understands that the macro process of goal achievement is composed of individual tasks getting done augmented by the compounding force of habits.

Plan. Execute. Achieve. Consistently with Orion.
