I'm not the commenter you're replying to, but I wouldn't use it because I don't see the point of bringing genAI into this. What's the benefit over just journaling, meditation, and talking things over with friends?

I built something similar for myself.

I considered building an app, but I wonder how people will trust it. The target audience is the ones who are most likely to mistrust a third party.

I wonder what you use for evals and testing. I have found epistolary novels to be quite interesting to process, e.g. I used von Goethe's "The Sorrows of Young Werther" to build a demo.
