🧬Conversational extraction

Your body isn't a data point — it's a context

Your relationship with your body shapes the energy, mood, and cognitive availability you bring to everything — including an AI.

An AI that tells you to wake up at 5am without knowing you have chronic insomnia isn't helping — it's judging. One that suggests running without knowing about your knee injury isn't smart — it's negligent. This module gives the AI the body context it needs to stay in its lane.

What does this conversation explore?

The health module maps your relationship with your body: exercise (what you do, how often, why), nutrition (not what you eat but your relationship with food), sleep (quality, patterns, problems), and relevant conditions that affect your daily life.

It's not a medical questionnaire and doesn't diagnose anything. The goal is for the AI to know what ground it's treading when touching on energy, productivity, stress, or wellbeing. Without that context, well-meaning recommendations can be harmful.

Body awareness

Do you listen to your body or ignore it until it protests? This axis measures how much attention you pay to physical signals.

Habit discipline

Are your health habits consistent or erratic? Triangulated with Big Five Conscientiousness (C).

Emotional relationship with health

Is your relationship with your body one of acceptance, struggle, guilt, or indifference? The emotional tone the AI needs to avoid stepping on toes.

Methodological foundation

Health context extraction follows an adapted motivational interviewing model (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). No prescribing, no judging, no evaluating — it collects context with neutral curiosity that minimizes social desirability.

Unlike health questionnaires, conversation captures the emotional relationship with the body — something checkbox forms miss entirely. Someone who says 'I exercise' with enthusiasm and someone who says it with guilt are saying very different things.

How does the AI use this?

Your health context puts guardrails on the AI's recommendations. It won't suggest diets if you have a complicated relationship with food. Won't recommend early rising if your sleep is a disaster. Won't trivialize chronic pain. It knows where the minefields are — and respects them.

Without profile

"To improve your productivity, I recommend sleeping 7-8 hours, exercising regularly, and maintaining a balanced diet..."

With your Afini profile

"With your chronic insomnia and complicated relationship with exercise post-injury: let's forget the magazine advice. Let's talk about what's realistic for you, with your current body, in your current situation..."

One prescribes the obvious. The other knows your body doesn't follow the manual.

Give your AI body context

10-15 minutes of conversation that prevent your AI from giving you health advice that doesn't fit — no diets, no judgment, no miracle cures.
