- What exactly do you mean by AI features
- Jadebook uses AI in a lot of places: generating summaries, generating insights, generating writing prompts, and more. It's completely up to you whether you want to use the AI or not. We've tried to make it optional, so you can have the journal experience you want.
- Is there a mobile app available for your platform?
- Not yet, this project is literally made by 1 guy. I'm working on making a mobile app tho. I feel like a mobile app is essential for journal, so that's pretty much the next step.
- However, Jadebook is fully mobile responsive, so if you need to access it in your phone, you can through your browser.
- What about security?
- Security is super important, obviously. Which is why all user content is encrypted with 256-bit encryption for both transit and at rest. We don't store any data about things that you ask the AI or what it generates (for the chat) because that's a lot of data and I don't want to pay for all that. And no data is given out or sold at all, ever because that's lowkey diabolical.
- What about search?
- It should be noted, encryption is very important but it makes 1 thing hard to do: search. Every entry is encrypted differently which makes searching practically impossible. To work around this, we create embeddings for the entry and search that instead. This is called Semantic Search.
- When will the official version be available?
- While it's all great, performant and secure, I think there are some features that need to added before the official release. Things like the mobile app, native platforms, other integrations like RayCast etc. Once that's done, it'll be ready. Learn more
- Can I import my journal entries from other platforms?
- We currently support importing from Daybook, but more platforms will become available as time goes on.
- What are AI Credits?
- Each credit is an action involving AI. E.g. A single question to the AI costs 1 credit. Credits re-fill each month. Now why have tokens? Because the AI can use functions to fetch data like your goals or memory to better generate responses. This makes each AI action cost more due to the large amount of context the AI has.
- What about leftover AI Credits?
- If you're on Pro, it'd be unfair to lock you to using the AI Assistant that has a limited scope. So, you can switch to general chat mode and use the AI Chat just like any other chat app. Leftover credits also carry over to the next month up to a maximum of 1000 at any given time.
- Why have different models?
- Jadebook is newer platform and our user base is also younger, more tech-savvy. Since there isn't really a `one true model` for our use case, we leave the decision up to you. By default, we recommend using Gemini 2.0 Flash for most tasks due it's reliability, speed and quality.
