But I think the ability to get that sort of like intricate objective analysis back out similar to how we, like, I think a lot of people building this or thinking of it as like a therapist AI, but I wouldn't brand it as that. I would brand it as a journal AI, if that makes sense.

Yeah, people ask this question a lot. I think that it's hard to say at this point in time I think that the appending AI is valuable when you are creating innovation within a relatively stagnant industry, such as Cal AI within the calorie tracking space. Like calorie tracking as a whole, people viewed it as archaic and it's slow and it's annoying and it's complicated.

So then when we add AI, that brings a level of sophistication. Now on the flip side, when it's something where You know, if you're building like a medical document service or something where like you need 100% accuracy and any minor errors would be unacceptable, the system just wouldn't work.

I would probably not include the term AI as people would be a little bit skeptical or scared that it may become dangerous in some capacity. So that's how I think about it. But, you know, I mean, my co-founder, Zach, from CalAI, recently made a tweet about how adding AI at the end was a negative signal. He and I had a lengthy discussion on that.

Kind of came to this resolution that I just referred to just now. But, yeah, I guess that's how I think through it. And now with regards to journal AI, the names that I'm using right now are just because they're easy to wrap your head around. I'm not sure if I would name it Journal AI. Maybe I would try to name it something like Juni or like Journey that feels more friendly.

But yeah, I wouldn't say that I'm by any means a master of naming. So maybe there are better people to go to on that front.

That's why I think Cal AI is probably the name that I'm most proud of. Um, The reason for naming UMAX, for example, UMAX was because the plan was to become this like all-in-one self-improvement ecosystem that I'm now building with Apex. Now, for a number of reasons, I decided not to pursue that.
