Using AI as a Life Copilot
Launching Orion, the world's first AI Life Copilot
Technology is supposed to make us more capable. Integrating key aspects of your work or daily routines with rapidly advancing technologies, such as AI, can provide a significant advantage.
I’m speaking from experience and today I am releasing a tool to let everyone use AI to improve their lives directly.
Beginning in 2023, I utilized multiple chat threads in ChatGPT. Subsequently, in 2024, I transitioned these conversations to Gemini by Google. These conversations were focused on different areas of life: body, mind, spirit, career, wealth, relationships.
I spent considerable time transferring context between these threads to maintain continuity. To make matters worse, these AI threads didn't really understand my long-term objectives collectively and holistically. Also the AI had no understanding of time. It lacked temporal awareness, which presented significant limitations.
AI has come a long way since March 2023.
Leveraging these advancements, I built Orion, the first AI Life Copilot designed to elevate personal and professional performance. Orion launches on April 7th across the various launch platforms. Readers of this substack are getting access today.
Orion begins with a fast single page intake where you tell the AI:
Your goals
Your interests
Where you are in life
This onboarding process facilitates the mapping of your current state against your desired future state(s)
Then Orion helps you create habits and tasks that align with your goals. Orion is heavily gamified to award points to Users for completing habits and maintaining streaks.
Each day you fill out your journal in the app, once in the morning and again in the evening after the day’s work is over. This is to promote planning and track follow-through.
Connecting the dots between planning and execution is the key to life.
So is consistency!
Another key to life is dark mode, which you can toggle right in the sidebar. Let’s look at the main dashboard area:
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.
There are 3 key features that utilize the latest AI systems to help you achieve your goals:
Get AI Planning
Generate AI Advice
Speak with the AI Council of Advisors
Get AI Planning is the key step where we use AI to decompose a goal into constituent parts — tasks and habits.
The AI suggests one-off steps you can take toward your goals (tasks) and recurring actions you can take that will get you closer to victory (habits).
It is very useful to get an outside perspective on what tactical steps you should be taking.
Speaking of useful… imagine if we could take all your journal entries, all your habit and task completions, and pass them to a super intelligent AI system that will read all this context and deliver advice on how the journey toward goal completion is going…
Stop imagining and start using Generate AI Advice:
See how Orion understands what I am trying to achieve, what I am successfully getting done… and what I am failing to do?
This is how Orion becomes a daily partner in your success journey.
Now, what’s better than a single super powered advisor with a mega mind and access to the internet?
How about 6!
My old GPT chat threads on different subject matter evolved into the Council of Advisors. Each of these advisors speaks differently, each cares about different things… they all make you a more holistic human being. This is a tool for personal accountability that will still give you an outside perspective… several even.
Fair warning: the advice from Mr. Tough Love can be… well, tough.
So bring a helmet and get the hard hitting talk you (may) need to get the most from yourself.
These screenshots have been from the desktop web app version of Orion.
Let’s look at it on mobile. We simplified the navigation experience but through the magic of modern web development it is becoming easier to translate these experiences across devices and platforms.
Orion AI Life Copilot, on Mobile
Orion will be available across the key product and app launch portals on April 7th.
As usual, you are getting the good stuff early here :)
Orion users benefit from a daily practice of focusing on habits and key tasks, while journaling about their objectives versus their outcomes on a consistent basis. Consistency is a superpower. It's also a muscle that can be built up through repetition, that is exactly how Orion works — by organizing and gamifying goal achievement.
Orion users get better, stronger and smarter faster than anyone.
