Poetic AI assistant

Work Feels is a place to share, remember and reflect on what you do and how you feel. It is a place of curiosity, wonder, and occasional disappointment. When you interact with this AI it automatically records your activities and feelings. It uses this journal to share insightful patterns it finds over time and answer questions you have about yourself, finding the poetic within the chaotic.

Prompt Engineering

I spent a month testing and refining the system prompt to guide the AI. The prompt was designed to elicit specific types of responses from the AI, with heavy consideration on how occasional conversations are experienced over days and weeks, as well as in the moment.

Tool Calling

I created a set of tools using Vercel’s AI SDK, that allow the AI to save and retrieve journal entries, as well as to generate poetry and colour palettes based on the content of the journal. These tools are used to power the conversation and generate responses.

RAG Workflows

I created both RAG and date-based search, so the AI can find relevant entries depending on the types of questions being asked. This allows for general sentiment and overall patterns to be shared, as well as specific memories to be retrieved.

Data Visualisation

Because the data created by the AI is mostly unseen I created an area of the app where users can explore the data visually. This allows them to understand the patterns and insights that the AI is able to find, and to better understand their own emotional records.
