Random thought.
Most modern AI is optimized for speed, productivity, and efficiency.
But if philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, or Buddha were alive today, what would they want from AI?
Would they use it to automate work?
Or would they use it as a tool for reflection, learning, and self-understanding?
Curious what philosophy enthusiasts think.
Most AI assistants are designed to give one answer.
Yumea is built around a different idea:
What if you could explore the same question through different wisdom sources and perspectives instead of getting a single generic response?
Over the past few weeks I've added a few features that I think make the experience much more interesting.
1. Friendly Mode
A more natural and conversational experience. Feels less like a tool and more like talking to someone who understands your situation.
2. Professional Mode
You choose which wisdom sources you want Yumea to use when answering. For example, you can focus on philosophy, spiritual texts, or specific thinkers depending on what you're looking for.
3. Freestyle Mode (New)
This is the feature I'm most excited about.
Instead of manually selecting sources, Yumea automatically looks across all available wisdom sources and finds the perspectives that are most relevant to your question.
The goal isn't to force one ideology or belief system. It's to help people discover ideas they may never have explored otherwise.
Ask about relationships, purpose, discipline, failure, anxiety, decision-making, or life in general, and Yumea will search for the most relevant wisdom across its knowledge base.
I also wanted the experience to feel natural for more people, so Yumea now supports:
You can ask in your preferred language and receive responses in that language.
I'm not trying to create another chatbot that just answers questions.
I'm trying to build something that helps people think better, explore different perspectives, and learn from thousands of years of human wisdom without needing to read dozens of books first.
Still very early.
I'd genuinely love feedback:
If an AI like this existed today, what would make you actually use it instead of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other assistants?
If you're interested in trying Yumea when it's available, feel free to join the waitlist
( https://launch.li/p/yumea-ai ) I'm currently collecting feedback and improving the product based on what people suggest.
I've been working on a small AI project called Yumea.
Most AI assistants give similar answers to everyone. But people have different beliefs, values, and ways of looking at life.
So I started wondering:
What if an AI could understand your situation and then give guidance based on the wisdom sources you personally trust?
Not just generic advice, but advice aligned with your perspective.
Would something like that actually be useful, or would you rather keep AI completely neutral?
I'm genuinely curious what people think.
For the next 15 days I'm trying to find early users willing to test my AI and brutally criticize it. I think honest feedback is worth much more than fake hype.
