Chats and AI agents

A Messenger-style sidebar of conversations — your log plus two AI coaches you can talk to.

Kaizendex's /chat surface is more than a single feed now. A column on the right lists your conversations in two sections — Logs (your log, plus any custom logs you create) and Chats (the AI agents you can talk to) — and the one you pick fills the main column in the middle.

Logs and Chats sections

Each section header has a + button:

  • + next to Logs creates a custom log — a filtered view of your feed. Give it a name (and an emoji if you like), then pick which Collections it shows: "is" shows only the picked Collections, "is not" shows everything except them. A "Workouts" log with is Gym, Running shows just those entries, with the same logging bar at the bottom.
  • + next to Chats opens the agent gallery so you can add a new AI agent. An agent you've already added shows "✓ added" — you can't end up with two chats for the same one.

You can also drag rows to reorder them within each section, and hover a row to reveal a ⋯ menu in its top-right corner: change that chat's background, edit an agent's picture and persona, or edit/delete a custom log. A custom log's own header also has a filter button and a ⋯ menu for the same edits.

The three chats

Your log — what you already know. The activity feed you've been using all along: every entry you logged, in chronological order. Logging works exactly the same — type a Collection name into the bar at the bottom and it lands at the top.

The Navy Seal — a no-nonsense accountability voice, modelled on the energy of David Goggins. Open this chat when you need a kick. Type anything; you'll get a short, direct reply.

Coach Jack — a calmer, aspirational life-coach voice, modelled on Robin Sharma and The 5 AM Club. Open this chat when you want gentle encouragement and morning-discipline framings.

Each agent's voice isn't fixed — you can rewrite its personality yourself under AI → Memory.

And these two coaches are just the start: under AI → Agents you can add more agents from a marketplace, give each one its own picture and chat background, rename them, or remove the ones you don't use. See Managing your AI agents.

How it works

Click a row in the Chats column and the main view in the middle swaps to that conversation. The bar at the bottom changes too — for Your log it's the Collection search you already use; for an AI agent it's a free-text message box. Press Enter to send.

While the agent "thinks," a small typing indicator appears below their avatar. The reply lands a moment later. Messages stick around across reloads and across devices — they're stored the same way your entries are.

Chat with several agents at once

You don't have to wait for a reply. Ask one agent a question, switch to another chat and ask something else, then go check your calendar — every agent keeps working in the background, and each reply lands in its chat whether or not you're looking at it.

While agents are working, the app keeps you posted:

  • In the Chats column, a chat with an agent mid-thought shows a pulsing dot and "Thinking…". Open it and you'll see the reply being written live.
  • A reply that arrived while you were elsewhere shows an unread dot on its row, and a small toast pops up anywhere in the app ("Benjamin Franklin replied") with a View button that jumps straight there.
  • A pulsing dot next to the notification bell in the sidebar means at least one agent is thinking somewhere — click it to jump to that chat.

The Stop button (it replaces Send while an agent is thinking) genuinely stops the agent — the reply is discarded, even if you've navigated away in the meantime.

On mobile

Tapping Chats in the bottom bar opens your log — it's your home base on the phone, the same screen you land on when you open the app. The bottom menu stays put while you're in any chat, so the rest of the app is always one tap away. To see all your chats (your log plus the AI agents), tap the back arrow at the top of the chat; from that list, tap any row to open it.

What they can do

The agents are real now — they think, act, and remember:

  • Take action on your data. Ask one to set up a tracker, log something, or summarise your week and it does it — the new Collections and entries appear across your devices, the same as if you'd tapped them in yourself. Deletions go to Trash, so nothing is ever lost.
  • Draw you a picture. Ask for an illustration and — if image generation is turned on — it appears right in the chat. See Image generation below.
  • Remember you. As you talk, the agent quietly remembers durable facts about you — your goals and preferences — and uses them next time. You stay in control: see, edit, or forget any of them in AI → Memory.
  • Follow your skills. Teach an agent a repeatable way of working under AI → Memory → Skills.
  • Look back over your chats. Past conversations are part of its memory too — an agent can search and summarise what you've talked about before. It searches by topic, not just exact words, so it can resurface a relevant earlier chat even if you phrase it differently this time. Your conversations are listed under the Chats tab of the AI section, each one named automatically.

If a reply ever stalls, it times out and tells you rather than hanging — just send again.

Big changes come with a plan to approve

For anything large or hard to undo — moving a whole Collection's entries somewhere else, or cleaning up a big batch at once — your AI doesn't just do it. It first shows you a plan: a card right in the chat with a short title, the numbered steps it's about to take, and any warnings about what could be lost.

The card has two buttons:

  • "Yes, run this plan" — the AI goes ahead exactly as described.
  • "No — let me explain" — nothing happens; the message box focuses so you can say what you'd rather it do.

You're never limited to the buttons — you can just reply in your own words, and your AI reads that instead. Once you've answered (or moved on to something else), the card settles into a quiet record of what was decided.

Answer with a tap

Plans aren't the only place your AI offers buttons. When it asks a quick, clarifying question — "Which one, Running or Gym?" — it can show a row of small pills under its message instead of making you type. Tap one and it's sent as your reply, just as if you'd typed it yourself.

The same message can also include a link button — a shortcut that jumps straight to a page in the app, like "See your agents" or "Open your new chat." Link buttons stay tappable forever; quick-reply pills quiet down (but stay visible) once you've answered.

You're never limited to the buttons here either — typing your own answer always works.

Merging two Collections

One thing your AI can do this way is merge Collections — say, folding a stray "Todo" into your main "Todos." Ask it to combine the two and it proposes a plan: move every entry across, then remove the now-empty duplicate. If some of the fields on the old Collection don't exist on the one you're keeping, the plan warns you that those values will be dropped, so you know exactly what carries over before you approve.

Your AI also tries to stop the duplicate from happening in the first place — if you ask it to create a Collection that's basically the same as one you already have (like "Todo" when "Todos" exists), it'll point you at the existing one instead of making a near-copy.

The AI section in the sidebar

Everything about your AI agents lives in the AI item in the sidebar, split across four tabs:

  • Memory (the default) — your AI's personality, the facts it knows about you, and the skills you've taught it. See What your AI remembers.
  • Actions — a record of everything an agent did to your data, where you can undo any single change.
  • Chats — every past conversation, which you can revisit or delete. They're named for you automatically, so the list is easy to scan.
  • Agents — your list of AI agents, a marketplace to add more, and a card to build your own from scratch. See Managing your AI agents and Building your own AI agent.
  • Settings — pick the model preset your AI runs on (or exact custom models), turn image generation on or off, and see how much you've used. Covered below.

Choosing your AI models

Under AI → Settings you pick a preset — a quality-and-price point rather than a specific model. Each preset fills in every model your AI uses: the one that powers conversations, the one that handles quick logging, and the lightweight one that does background work like naming your chats and keeping session summaries.

  • Max — the deepest reasoning and the best storyteller for persona chats, at a premium price.
  • Best — top-rated writing and roleplay at about half the Max price.
  • Balanced (the default) — frontier-level answers at roughly half the cost.
  • Value — quick, cheap, and a surprisingly good writer.
  • Budget — the cheapest capable option, great if you log a lot.

Whatever you pick, every preset can read your attachments (image and file uploads) and act on your data (set up a tracker, log an entry, summarise your week).

Custom models

Prefer to choose exactly? Pick Custom to open a searchable catalog of dozens of models — from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more — with two slots: the chat model for your conversations, and the background model for the busywork. Only models that accept image + file uploads and support agent actions are listed, and our suggestions are flagged recommended at the top.

Image generation

Also under AI → Settings, a separate Image generation section controls whether your AI can draw pictures at all:

  • A master on/off switch. Turn it off and your AI simply won't offer to generate images — no picture requests, no prompts about it.
  • Two model pickers, each showing the price per image: one for chat pictures (illustrations that appear in a conversation), and one for avatars & backgrounds (agent pictures and chat wallpapers, including ones you generate while building your own agent).

Every generated image is automatically resized before it's saved, so icons and avatars stay small and backgrounds stay a sensible size — nothing bloats your storage.

Usage

The same Settings tab shows how much you've used your AI, so there are no surprises:

  • Conversations — how many back-and-forth chats you've had.
  • Tokens — the total amount of text processed (your messages plus the AI's replies).
  • Estimated cost — a running estimate based on that usage.

Each figure is shown for the last 30 days and all time, so you can see both your recent pace and the lifetime total.
