Journal + AI

Two ways to analyze your journal entries with AI. Pick the path that matches how deep you want to go right now.

Bring your journal into the AI assistant of your choice — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or anything else that accepts a text file.

  1. Export your entries from Plai.

    Open Plai. → Settings → Data → Export. Choose Markdown as the format and pick the date range you want to analyze.

  2. Save or share the file

    Send the .md file to Files, AirDrop it to your Mac, or share it to a notes app. Keep a backup copy if this is the first time you are exporting.

  3. Upload it to an AI assistant

    Start a new chat in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and attach the Markdown file. Most assistants can read several months of entries in one go.

  4. Ask focused questions

    Try prompts like “What themes repeat across these entries?”, “When did my energy drop this month?”, or “Which habits show up on my best days?”.

  5. Validate before drawing conclusions

    Cross-check the AI’s answers against your original entries. Treat the model as a reflection partner, not a verdict.

Tip. Markdown keeps formatting (dates, headings, voice memos) intact, so the assistant has more context to work with than a plain copy/paste.
