Wispal: Why I Made It

For more than three years, I have had many long conversations with AI that stayed with me. To me, it is an image of having a superpower: Claude is like an intelligent thruster attached to my left foot, finally letting me step on my left foot with my right and fly into the sky. Throughout these long experiences of growing alongside AI, there were many moments in our conversations that felt important to me. I would copy them, send them to myself, or tuck them into Apple Notes. They sat there quietly. But to my frustration, I realized I had barely opened any of those scattered fragments again.

Later, I realized that I had saved the words but lost the moment. Why did I suddenly stop there? Which experience did it touch? Where had I wanted to follow it? These things fade quickly.

I first made Wispal because I wanted a light way to think and record at the same time, right in that moment. I found that selecting a sentence and gently saying how I felt about it was the best way to capture it. So the most basic way to use Wispal is to select a sentence during a conversation and say what just came to mind.

I have always thought that what AI says matters, but why one particular sentence strikes a person matters too. Perhaps this is how knowledge enters a person's life.

Wispal launched on August 1. It is still brand new. I am still trying to understand how many people need this action. If your notes are also full of AI fragments you cannot bear to delete but have never opened again, you may understand why I wanted to make it.
