No specific names. Transformations, not biography
A page or two on how you arrived at thinking the way you think. The readings that marked you, the turns, the questions still occupying you. The AI reads this and understands you like no one else.
What it captures
Free markdown text, max 1500 words. Designed as an intellectual self-portrait: starting point, real transformations, current position, where you're looking. Optional guided template. One row per profile.
Why it matters
Big Five scores and structured declarative layers give the AI coordinate axes. Intellectual trajectory gives it the story that connects those coordinates. The difference between the AI knowing you value sharpness and knowing why you value it.
How it's built
Markdown editor with word count and 1500-word hard limit. Optional guided template with four suggested sections. Start from scratch or use the template and delete what doesn't fit.
🔒 Privacy
No specific people's names. The system rejects with 422 if it detects patterns like "my father John", "my wife Mary", etc. Talk about transformations, readings, schools — as ideas, not as people.
FAQ
- Do I have to write 1500 words?
- No. It's the max, not the min. 200 words well said beat 1500 empty ones.
- Which plans include intellectual trajectory?
- Professional only. Most useful for people who write professionally.
- Can I name authors and books?
- Yes — public authors and books are fine. The rule is no naming private people (family, partners, bosses).
- How does it affect the system prompt?
- Injected as a <intellectual_trajectory> block with 600-token cap. If your text exceeds the cap, it's truncated at the last full paragraph below the limit.
