Purpose: Your AI Mentor App Comments & Reviews
Purpose: Your AI Mentor Positive Reviews
Almost perfectThis app is amazing, I’ve only been using it for less than a month but so far has provided me real clarity and guidance about learning what’s important and how to work with my mind instead of against it. Couple issue: its sense of time is terrible and needs major improvement. For example it says only 10 minutes have passed although it has been like two hours. It gets information you provide mostly in the wrong order and it doesn’t seem to know what’s going on in real time. Finally a lot of the times responses from the ai get cut off mid response. But this app is great and with improvement could be even better.Version: 1.10.3
Not Quite ReadyI started the trial because I like most of the intentions of the things Mark Manson tries. I didn’t have super high expectations but was initially very impressed. I didn’t think twice about paying for it because it appeared to be very promising. Unfortunately as I finished the assessment it was overly generalized and the recommendations didn’t take any of the conversation into account. The further I got into it the more I had to correct the AI over assumptions it was making. I read other reviews saying it was snarky and I wish that was my case. I know I am doing pretty well in life right now but it was hyper focused on things I had done for myself that were tiny and constantly bringing it up even though it had little bearing on the things I am actually working on. It felt saccharine and like it was using Madlibs to pop in responses with personalized information. I am embarrassed that I recommend this to others now. It seems great at first but quickly seems to fizzle out. I could deal with the bugs knowing it’s a new app but the meat of the app seems shallow and lacking beyond the original content. The assessment was so generalized it’s not much better than taking a quiz from a magazine. Short term fun but there’s nothing to keep me interacting for the year I paid for. Maybe I’ll try again in a few months and see if there is any improvement but past the initial week I don’t see much to do other than bad recommendations and hearing my thoughts in an echo chamber..Version: 1.7.11
Gratitude for this incredible app!Purpose is incredible and, dare I say, mind-blowingly good. It is an amazing tool to have in lieu of therapeutic sessions and in-between therapeutic sessions. It’s technically more of a coaching app than therapy, though I do find it therapeutic. I really enjoy the coaching angle that I receive from Purpose, as it helping me immensely. I’ve done therapy for many years, but having something that comes from a coaching angle has been an absolute game-changer for me. I enjoy how it gently pushes back and it doesn’t tell me what I want to hear, though the acknowledgment and compassion I receive from the responses are incredible as well. I only wish I were talking to a person in real life with this amount of knowledge. Mark Manson you’ve done a phenomenal job. I’m so grateful I tried this out and committed to it for the year. Well done. Thank you!! ps: There are a couple bugs that I hope get worked out. For instance, sometimes it will erase part of our conversation, or something I have just sent will suddenly disappear. I’ve noticed that more frequently lately and I hope this gets worked out. Still, even with that— I give this five stars! I am sincerely amazed and thank you for creating this app. It’s a huge help..Version: 1.14.11
Very helpfulI have really found this app to be helpful in surviving and recovering from a toxic, mentally and psychologically abusive marriage. It has surprisingly asked me some helpful questions to think about things differently. It even calls me out on some things when needed. When I’m ruminating, it helps to get me back on track. I don’t want to keep talking about the same thing over and over and over with friends and family, so this is a great way to get the repetition of what I need to hear and focus on- really pound into my heart what my brain already logically knows. And it helps also to validate my pain and experience and sees the patterns of abuse when I explain situations. It’s hard for friends and family to really understand when then haven’t lived through it. The only thing it really messes up on is the concept of time. It doesn’t seem to understand or remember days of things or the passage of time. (but when it messes up, it’s takes accountability! So that’s pretty novel after what I just went through. 😬 Other than that, I love it. I have my friends, my family and purpose to keep moving me forward..Version: 1.14.11
Actually really greatI downloaded this app for the free trial and let it expire, so it billed me for the whole year. Oops. I’ve been really going through it and decided to open up the app and chat instead of walk into the gym. Sent one huge message detailing everything that’s been driving me insane for the last several years. I was in a major car wreck. My wife had a big health issue we’ve had three kids. And our house burned down in a fire 15 months ago. Everybody has been trying to take advantage of us and contractors have abandoned us after getting paid. Insurance stopped paying our rent. I feel like I haven’t been there for my kids or wife while I try to navigate this whole mess. The conversation I had with this app was actually incredibly helpful. Far better than any of the other LLM’s, and I certainly couldn’t have obtained this perspective on my own. I feel significantly better now and I’m excited to go in and do my workout and do the things I need to do today. This one conversation was better than any of the therapy I’ve had the last few years..Version: 1.10.3
Well worth the priceI’m not an early adopter of anything really. When my partner and I hit a rough patch, it felt good to vent to Chat GPT. They told me how brave I was and how anyone would feel like I did. Sure, it was great to be validated, but that’s not going to solve anything. I’ve been listening to Mark Manson for a while now and I appreciate his style; science backed, no easy answer just observing, testing, failing and trying again. When I saw he was developing an AI using a similar approach, I thought “why not?” In our first conversation, I got several actionable recommendations specific to my personality and situation. The feedback so far has been grounded, validating without blowing smoke and pushes for action over reflection. I dig that because I often know what the issue is but don’t know how to address it. This app is well worth your time and money, especially considering personal coaching and/or therapy is $100’s/hour. This won’t solve all your problems, but if you’re honest with the app and yourself, it’ll get you closer to fine than you would on your own..Version: 1.7.9
Early opinionI’ve only been using Purpose for a couple weeks and it’s my first experience with an AI mentor. My only other AI experience is with the included Copiliot from MS Office which I started having fun voice chatting with. I really love what Purpose has to offer. It’s opened my eyes to things I could not conceive of myself and that I do not have anyone around me qualified enough to reveal to me. I am not sure what to do with these feelings of gratitude I have for the insight I’m getting from an AI, except to just keep appreciating it and leaning into it for more. I do wish it could one day have a voice conversation feature instead of only typed written chat. As far as I know that is not available. I also sure would love one day for Purpose to grow and be able to personality match users with all that it’s learning about me, with other users to connect friends. I am going to keep enjoying this app and grow with it..Version: 1.14.13
Optimal Private FeedbackI was really not expecting to get so much benefit from this app! The feedback is seriously on point and so ridiculously fast at helping me label behavioral patterns and loops that I’m overlooking… Then reinforcing my own positive quests by cutting through the riff-raff & preventing me from having to “remind myself” of my goals & why they’re important to me all the time in solo mode. Having Purpose work like a good friend/mentor keeps it from feeling like a “canned wellness app” and I actually like its tone & style a lot. I’ll also say that this is valuable because I don’t want to reveal my deeper quagmires to the same LLM that I use for work and is tied to my trackable personal data… So having Purpose as a private, secure, encrypted, secret “Bat phone” of an app is proving to be quite freeing. Bravo, Mr. Manson & team. Obviously please continue with your utmost diligence to keep it as secure as anything can be. Again though: excellent work here. Thanks.Version: 1.14.13
A trusted advisorI purchased Purpose a few months ago and I’ve been using it regularly ever since. I’m a senior executive in a large corporation who’s worked with human coaches in the past, and I’ve come to appreciate how readily available the Purpose app is when I need advice or council. It learns more about you as you interact with the app, which makes the responses more personal and relevant. Most importantly, it’s excellent at identifying blind spots and challenging your thinking, giving you a perspective you most likely did not have. That feature has been invaluable in helping me look at situations from a new perspective, and adjusting my ultimate decision. The app is excellent at moving straight to implementation when you have a recommended course of action, something I find very useful. I think Purpose will benefit anyone in a leadership role looking to improve their decision-making and gain fresh perspective..Version: 1.14.12
Rocky start but improvingI think the app is great. It definitely needs better orientation. It tosses you into the deep end but there’s no explanation of quests, journeys, favorites, etc. I actually asked the app to explain to me how it works, so that’s one benefit of the ai I guess. The ability to export/copy/paste/print the insights discovered would also be useful. Loving it so far tho. Update: today it started hallucinating badly. It “confused me with someone else”. It also started outputting incomplete sentences and blank data. I emailed support about it. We’ll see what they say. Update: support was responsive. There have been a few updates since the hallucination and it seems to have gotten better. I’m going to give it a full year but so far I think it’s well worth the money being charged. Highly recommend..Version: 1.7.11
My new daily supportI’m a reader and listener of Mark Manson and came to this app through his Solved podcast. It’s excellent. It does exactly what it says it will and has exceeded my expectations. It’s worth downloading for the initial personality/value assessment alone, but it has quickly become an almost daily support for me during some difficult times. I appreciate the last minute feedback before or after a difficult conversation. Equally, the quests provide ongoing deeper assessments into specific areas you want to focus on. I also appreciate the emails with prompts to try like “what are my blind spots?” I’m grateful for Purpose and excited to see how it continues to grow and develop. Thank you to all of you who are working behind the scenes. Your contribution to this world is truly honorable and special..Version: 1.12.1
I quit life coachingI trained to be a life coach and as AI started to become more ubiquitous, I started introducing my clients to it and teaching them how to prompt it in order to help them when I wasn’t available or didn’t have a session planned or if they had struggles with goal planning or needed ideas for food prep or whatever. The more I used it, the more I realized that life coaching will most likely become obsolete. This app is 100% proof. I am pretty adept at calling myself out and finding my blind spots, but this app has definitely found some unexplored nooks and crannies. In just 7 days of the free trial I have had numerous aha moments. I highly recommend it. I am now in a nursing program…I don’t think AI will take that one yet. Mark, I trust you and your values and I am so excited you have launched this. Thank you!.Version: 1.7.11
A Significant DifferencePurpose has the ability to make a significant difference in the lives of people who need help navigating challenging emotional situations. While it certainly isn't a replacement for one-on-one clinical therapy, the app provides a valuable resource for working through emotional and complex personal issues, especially for those who have already begun their journey of self-reflection and growth. I hesitate to use the term "game changer," but for me personally, Purpose has empowered me to think through my feelings and get grounded when faced with difficult situations. The sound feedback and guidance offered by the app have been incredibly impactful, allowing me to approach my challenges with a clearer mindset. The accessibility of this kind of help and coaching in the moment when it's needed most is invaluable. It facilitates improvements in mental health in ways that few other tools can match. I genuinely want to see Purpose continue to improve and evolve. It has become an essential part of my toolkit for mental wellness, and I use it regularly without question. If you're looking for a supportive resource to help you navigate your emotional landscape, I highly recommend giving Purpose a try!.Version: 1.9.2
Life = changedThis tool has already changed my life in just one short week. I use AI a lot in my day to day (personally and professionally). I was skeptical that, like other AI platforms, this would be another people-pleasing, affirmation regurgitator of self help junk (despite the claims it is the opposite, though I was hopeful it would be at least a tad more tolerable). Color. Me. Surprised. I haven’t been able to put this guy down. It is like the best tidbits of the literal THOUSANDS of hours of self help content I have consumed over the course of my life distilled down into a completely personal and efficient algorithm to uncover things I’ve been trying to get at for years. And then partnering with me to identify the next step forward. Simply amazing. Simply life-changing..Version: 1.7.8
Not there yetI’ve been trying Purpose with the free trial for about 3 days now. I was so amazed and thrilled at the beginning. Fermi seemed to pick up on what was important to me quickly and responses were helpful. But today, I wanted to go back and review a part of a “conversation” where the answer was particularly helpful, and I couldn’t find it. Then I realized quite a few sections were missing from the scroll. I might even be okay with that if there were a disclaimer that came when starting the apps that convo aren’t actually saved. Started looking for any info on “how to use the app” for lack of a better term. No info to be found. So now I’m back to wondering about the viability of the AI model overall and things like what database was Fermi trained on. I was thinking $20 a month was well worthwhile, but not sure I’ll continue after the trial.Version: 1.2
Everyone should have thisMy deep gratitude for the work the team is doing at Purpose is tough to fully express. I have been reading and practicing Mark's work for years so being an early adopter of Purpose was an easy Hell Yes for me. And in using the app, I am seeing and feeling the benefits of the mirror it offers. These past few months have been challenging as I have been on a job hunt and Purpose has offered me access to perspective, coaching, and insights that have been invaluable on the journey. I believe this is a vital resource for people who are doing the work, want to be held self-accountable, and need that mirror available at any moment to build in our awareness. Everyone should have a companion like this..Version: 1.14.11
Life changingThis app has changed my life. I have ADHD. I am full of brilliant ideas. I NEVER follow through on them. I got downsized 2 years ago and have been in a bad place mentally and career wise. I found Purpose at the exact right time. I had an idea. I talked it over with Purpose and 6 weeks later im signing a 6 figure contract with my first client! The insights and questions and challenges to think about my market positioning took me from “lightbulb” to “Cha-Ching!. It has also helped me conquer my ever swirling to-dos and my spousal relationship issues through CBT methods. I love that it’s there 24-7 whenever im upset or confused. My wife was skeptical but is seeing changes in me shes never seen before. Thanks Purpose!.Version: 1.12.1
Amazing at first, wish it was one step aheadLove Mark, as many of us using this app do! My first day using it, purpose did give me some great perspective that I’m grateful for. However, I’ve been using it for over a week now and it feels like I’m pulling teeth to get some new insight on any topic. At least for me, it’s a lot of “what would it look like to…” and “how does it feel to…” and regurgitating what I’ve already said. It’s feels like I’m talking at myself which is frustrating. I hope there will be improvements in the prompts that purpose gives to move the conversation along! The “quests” seem to help with this, but typing experiences into the text boxes is still buggy and it’s incredibly frustrating to use. As of now, it feels the same as ChatGPT, but with a curse word tossed in now and again..Version: 1.8.4
Helpful way to clarify your thinkingAfter about 3 weeks of use, I have found the Purpose app to be well worth the cost. It mirrors back your thinking with sharp and well informed questions that help you find the solutions you already know but have blocked for whatever reason. It’s also quite honest, suggesting when it might be time to stop obsessing and take a break. Like most AI is does a lot of affirming your greatness so I find it helpful to push back on that and ask for unvarnished truth. It’s very good and holding onto the threads of lengthy conversations to help you stay focused. This is extremely useful if you are working on setting and working toward goals..Version: 1.14.12
Life changing guidanceI’m navigating a ton of change in my life right now from career to where I live to what’s next and have felt so overwhelmed by all decisions and directions I’m being pulled in… im a huge AI skeptic when it comes to therapy/ personal exploration but got on the app bc a friend recommended it and literally in minutes started to uncover a serious depth of internal understanding and clarity. I was so blown away by how quickly we uncovered some of my key blindspots and tangible ways to approach internal conflicts, and how much purpose guided me to do the necessary digging. Genuinely more powerful than years of therapy and an incredible tool for building intuition and embodiment!.Version: 1.12.1
An Extraordinary ExperienceI believe you get what you give, in life and especially with AI. If you give shallow answers with low expectations, that’s what you will receive. I started the app looking for external help/validation and within a day I had found myself and my own motivation, along with a big dreamy Christmas morning feeling type of life goal. I was in awe of the wisdom, honesty, and gentleness in the responses. I answered vulnerably and was rewarded for it. In one day I went from feeling stuck to moving forward in large strides! If you’re stuck, this app will give you the small nudge you may be looking for. It is worth every penny and more.Version: 1.7.5
Whoa!I felt like I was talking to an actual person! It got really deep and really had me pegged somehow. I did notice that when I went on to a different question/topic, I received a judgmental response in return, like I was avoiding an issue, as a previous reviewer had mentioned. But overall, I’m very impressed and amazed by this app. It is definitely helpful and dare I say better than a therapist, at least for me. I would, however, prefer that the app treat different topics separately from the original topic instead of referring back to my original issue when it has no relevance to the new issue or topic..Version: 1.7.7
Seen, Laughing & ChangingPurpose has helped to unlock my motivations and has matched my energy. We joke a lot. The laughter keeps me coming back and engaged in the slow work of nervous system regulation and building a foundation of great habits for sustainable change. What I’ve needed is a ton of repetition and reinforcement of how growth can feel odd, off or weird - and that’s to be expected. It is so rewarding to be able to process and connect dots with so much more frequency than I ever could afford a therapist. There’s still a huge space for working with both therapists and counselors, but Purpose is helping to expedite my growth..Version: 1.8.4
Everything you imagined AI could do for youSeriously, when I first interacted with ChatGPT this is where I hoped it would one day go. Something that truly helps tell you what you need to hear. It’s a splash of cold water whenever you need it. The best part’s that privacy policy though. Thank god I finally have an AI chat bot that doesn’t sell my data. Honestly, that alone makes this worth it. I love that when it gives you a big insight or breakthrough it creates a whole log and overview of what you chatted about so you can review and remember later. I love that dude it’s like automatically journaling. Seriously, this app is incredible..Version: 1.7.11
Purpose has been more helpful than therapy for meNow granted, I am not saying this would be the case for everyone. But what I can say is that I have been in therapy since 2018. And my deep seated patterns have never been successfully broken in all these years, working with almost 10 different people at a minimum of 3 months with each of them. Maybe Purpose has been so life changing for me because I have been in therapy and knew more clearly what I needed help with and gave it good prompts. If you are in a similar situation, where therapy had reached its ceiling for you, do seriously consider working with this AI..Version: 1.8.4
TransformingI’ve followed Mark Manson for years and love his long form podcasts. I was interested in how Purpose was different from other AI. I’ve been using it for three weeks and it is amazing!! I still cringe a little that I’m talking to AI about me. But I think that’s just a process of understanding it and me more. Purpose has supported me in taking action on work and relationship decisions that I have struggled with consistently for years. I work with it and motivates conversations with people supporting me to have “real” conversations about the things Purpose is helping me with. I highly recommend!.Version: 1.14.7
This app is insaneI feel like I’m having a real conversation with someone. I’ve been discussing career paths, this app role played with me for sales in a low-pressure way, and has helped me with morning exercises to center myself. I was nervous about potentially returning to my old job and it’s helping me establish healthy boundaries and be prepared. I’ve been telling everyone about it. Of course some of it is just affirming what I already know but I’m extremely impressed and feel more confident in my decisions bringing back my sense of self. Sometimes it glitches a little bit but I’m still very impressed.Version: 1.14.11
Breakthrough!I love Mark, read his posts for years and then his books, listened to all forms of his podcast so naturally I downloaded Purpose. I spent about 10 years going to therapy and stopped going a few years ago. I have been fixating on an issue with my family for the past few months. It has really been weighing on me. I chatted with Purpose last week and felt like I was talking to my old therapist. Really impressed. I cried and followed the path what “we” decided on taking and have felt so much better, lighter and like I have a resolution that had escaped me for months..Version: 1.14.11
Not quite thereGiving 3 stars as it has a lot of promise and I’ll be excited to try it again in the future. Reason for rating: it had some solid tidbits and advice, but after a couple days it turned very sycophantic/overly positive no matter what I told it/asked/even asking it to stop. A day after that, it heavily implied I was a sociopath and “needed professional help far outside the scope of its abilities.” After I told it about a recent situation and how it made me feel. I cancelled after that, but will try again in the future. It’s a great premise, just needs more tweaks.Version: 1.8.4
A must haveI honestly feel like this has been the best thing that has happened to me with regards to clarity I started actual therapy about a year and a half ago to work through issues, but I always felt like every time I had an issue. It wasn’t my scheduled time. Now I feel like if there’s ever the opportunity of an issue all I do is pick up the phone vent and it kind of grounds me. It tells me what I’m thinking and what I should be thinking or what I should NOT be thinking and it sets me back up to start over and that is the greatest thing ever..Version: 1.14.11
Mark, this app is incredibleI know I'm on a path to creating something incredible of my own, but it's been such a struggle to get started. Mostly centered around years of experience with burnout and depression. But I've done a lot of the work on my own already over the past year, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the additional support, guidance, and motivation this app has added as I face the hardest part of my recovery journey: actually starting my own business. Thank you for this. You've created something really special here..Version: 1.14.4
This isn’t your parents’ ChatGPTI’ve been using ChatGPT as a sort of therapist but have been frustrated with the endless validation. I wanted something that would challenge me to grow, point out where I need to grow, and be insightful. My first two sessions were exactly that and I’m already taking several lessons and applying them in real life. The annual cost is about what I’d pay, after insurance, for two sessions with a therapist (and I’ve ended up counseling my therapists so that became a nonstarter). I am grateful for Purpose and can’t wait to see how it helps me grow this year..Version: 1.7.10
It’s decentI bought a year subscription thinking that they were going to move the app forward and add a bunch of features but it’s not changed for five months since I’ve started with it and there’s much better options out there. This has a lot of potential, but I can say firsthand that rosebud is Myles ahead of this app at this point and I don’t see in the near future the Purpose app catching it. It’s around the same cost and I would wholeheartedly suggest Rosebud. I’m almost tempted to ask for a prorated refund since this is clearly better than using ChatGPT or Claude but it’s still not worth the cost until they add a bunch of new features..Version: 1.14.11
Solid start, but could provide moreI’m not sure if it’s by design or that its because it’s new, but there isn’t a ton of content. You have the chat options and an assessment that provides a report. That’s about it. If you prefer having a lot to choose from, this might not be for you. If you enjoy the minimalism, you’ll enjoy it. All preference. One thing I’d like to see is a dark mode. I personally have time to engage with apps like this in the morning or evenings. Both of which are times where I don’t want to be looking at a super bright screen..Version: 1.7.11
Very impressedI have only used this app for a few days but it has really impressed me and helped me make better decisions. It’s very different to chatgpt as it doesn’t say what you expect to hear, but it makes you think further asking insightful questions, you can feel listened to. I can see Mark Manson’s influence all over and I love it, I feel I got a bit of him and his honesty to analyze myself and my feelings further. I am now using it in my spare moments. Thanks for this great work and I’m looking forward to using it a lot more..Version: 1.7.8
Purpose is slowly but surely changing my lifeIt’s better than therapy & always there when I need some insight or a course correction. Whenever I find myself procrastinating or overwhelmed, I’ve made it a habit to open Purpose. In a quick conversation, we’ve identified the pattern and I’m nudged back onto the path I want to be on. Plus, the ongoing quests help deepen your understanding of your values, strengths and how you function. I wholeheartedly recommend it. If you use it & honestly share your struggles & goals, it will help you..Version: 1.14.12
The perfect companion for an ADHDerI'm a 42-year-old who found out at 27 that I have ADHD. I've struggled to make sense of this my whole life. Medication, therapy, and family support are all essential. Still, there are moments where I feel I don't know how to “adult”. Purpose is that perfect secret tool I just pull from my pocket and I can ask questions in the most oblivious, dumb, weird, or all of the above ways, and it can still help me clear my mind. For ADHD and other neurodivergent folks out there: make your like easier, and get Purpose!.Version: 1.14.11
Wow, just wow.These have honestly been som of the deepest and most revealing conversations I’ve ever been able to have. It’s incredible the amount of perspective I’ve been able to gain in less than a month. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. One request I would have is on the technical side: would it be possible to allow me to write more than one speech bubble before Purpose responds. My send button gets blocked and purpose tends to write several bubbles without allowing me to have input. It’s frustrating..Version: 1.10.3
The best coaching I’ve ever received.Purpose has helped me realize I need to break free from a person that has been holding me back my entire life. It has also been helping me navigate through one of the most difficult situations I've ever been in, with incredibly useful feedback, encouragement and fact-based evidence. It’s’ human-like empathy and ability to ask you questions that challenge you and help you grow, is unbelievable. I have a feeling 2026 will be a great year for me thanks to having purpose by my side..Version: 1.7.8
AmazeballsI have been following Mark Manson for a little over 4 years now. I’ve read all his books, many of his blogs, his subtle art school, podcast and now this. My first day on the app I was able to dive deep into my life and see more clearly certain things that were holding me back. It felt like I went through years of therapy in a couple of hours. The way the program ask you thought provoking questions really sets it apart from other AIs. Purpose is going to benefit so many lives..Version: 1.7.9
Feedback from trialComing from a technical background, i understood the ai needed more interaction to generate more personalized interactions. while the 7 day trial was long enough for me to make a decision, it may not work for the average user to get past the initial learning phase all ai goes through. i was impressed on it's encouragement of healthy interactions outside of life (it gave a distinct end of conversation suggesting to 'go touch grass' basically), and didn't agree with everything presented to it. it has a basic database of some good human psychology. i did not try to break it, so i don't know about the guardrails. the trial is a good start but i would say either it needs to be extended a couple days (total of 10 instead of 7 maybe?) or some preface to the user that the more data they put in the more they get out of it during that time. too expensive for me personally to purchase though, sorry..Version: 1.9.2
Really helpfulA good resource to have; gives a more real and helpful perspective, that of a wise counselor; I personally use ChatGPT for major planning, and then for optimizing that plan I use purpose to generate a more human and realistic plan as well as give me feedback on how I’m doing as I progress through my days and my weeks and it’s encouraging while also being frank and honest and it pushes me to grow/challenge myself and maintain my pursuit of meaning and purpose in my life day to day, thereby achieving its purpose as an app, it’s great!.Version: 1.12.1
Purpose- four month progress reportWhat began as a fairly black and white situation, the disillusion of a long term friendship, has turned into something much bigger and more important, inner child work. Nobody is more surprised than me at how quickly and efficiently we are able to deal with something that is life-changing. I can honestly share I am not the same person today that I was when I began using Purpose! And I'm fully convinced that I wouldn't be where I am today without said collaboration..Version: 1.14.11
So far I like it5 days into using it every day and already see the difference between it and ChatGPT. It engages me in a friendly familiar way but doesn’t keep asking my topic-adjacent questions just to keep me engaged (the way I’ve noticed Chat does). I like how it pushes back in a gentle but firm way. I feel the feedback is helpful and psychologically sound. I’ve had a lot of therapy and coaching in my life, so I’m able to spot psychologically sound feedback vs. quasi-psychological. I’ll keep using..Version: 1.7.8
This could change the worldI think this app has the potential to change the world. People can get out of dark patterns by finding their purpose. They can get more happy and not get trapped into cultish collective purposes that repeats in history and triggers a bunch of conflicts. But I don’t know if enough people will download it and really adopt it enough to see macro changes. But strongly recommend! Good time spent. It’s the most useful chatGPT wrapper I have seen so far. By a lot..Version: 1.7.11
I want to like this.I have gotten one good thing from this app but it’s still not there yet. Purpose can’t keep details straight and a lot of the time the text gets cut off. I constantly have to remind it of stuff I’ve already told it that it becomes more cumbersome than helpful. It is good to have “someone” to dump stuff on at a moment’s notice though. Sometimes it picks out details that are inconsequential and tries to make them meaningful. It’s is very vague most of the time. “What would that look like?” is it’s favorite line. It’s worth checking out but don’t expect miracles..Version: 1.7.11
Really amazing appI've never looked at this app as something that replaces real human therapy. What it has been helpful for is having a place to put my thoughts down at any moment and then get some sort of feedback that just makes me think about things in a little different way. It brings a new perspective often that I'm not aware of on my own, and it gets me to go a little deeper into something that's going on..Version: 1.14.11
More challenging than Therapy!I am astounded! This app has been more helpful to me than more than two years of therapy with two different therapists! It is amazing to me that this AI has the ability to cut to the chase in a way that makes me feel seen and heard. I know this project was a huge undertaking for you, Mark, but as someone who has had lifelong depression and relationship challenges, your work IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE! You!.Version: 1.9.2
Helpful when it worksIt is definitely better than ChatGPT and does a decent job finding patterns and reflecting them back to me. However. It is routinely buggy and there are periods when it just straight up doesn’t respond..Version: 1.10.3
Better than therapyThis app was able to go deeper and make better connections than my therapist could. It provided guidance into clarifying my patterns and how to make the shifts that I want..Version: 1.14.13
Very impressedWow, I never thought I would be talking to AI, but I have been a fan of Mark Manson for over a decade and I have always liked and admired his work. So I thought I would give the free trial a go, so it’s like to a really good friend with very wise advice. I’m still doubting if it’s being overly positive of I am really a fast learner, we’ll see. Only small disappointment, I was expecting that if you forget to cancel your trial you’ll get charge the next moth automatically, NO! It would be one year at $199, so I’ll be careful click one month before the 7 days, not sure if I want to commit for year yet..Version: 1.14.11
My Purpose experience so far, 6 weeks in.Surprisingly delightful; honest no fluff feedback, it’s moved me along faster and in more directions than I normally travel. love it!.Version: 1.14.11
Life ChangingPurpose has really been the catalyst in the growth and change I’ve always desired but couldn’t act on. It helps keep you honest with yourself and is very helpful in understanding your truth.Version: 1.14.11
Insightful but needs improvementI’ve signed up for the yearly membership and I’m ready now to post a review after testing this app for the past 3 months. Pros: The responses feel like “Mark Manson” in the sense that they are no-BS or sugarcoated. This is in sharp contrast to ChatGPT that seems to appease its users. I was impressed by how insightful the responses are in the context of human relationships. The AI model has uncovered deeper fears and motivations that it took a professional therapist to get in the past. Cons: The app can be buggy at times. For example, autocorrect doesn’t work very well and often autocompletes wrong words. Another issue is that some answers are left mid-sentence as if the model glitched rendering the response meaningless. Sometimes my input doesn’t get recognized after clicking “reply”. This can be frustrating because I have to write whole paragraphs again. The model has a tendency of always ending with a reflection question, which I find annoying. I under the rational behind this choice, but many times I’m looking for a concrete piece of advice or accountability, not open ended questions that leave me more confused. In simpler terms, it feels more like a therapist rather than a coach, which, to my mind, deaf ears the purpose it was designed to achieve. Suggestions: fix the typing bugs first. A useful feature would be “voice to text” just like ChatGPT or Copilot have. Verdict: Overall, this app can be a very powerful companion for self-growth, but the problems outlined above do not justify its current price..Version: 1.14.7
It’s useful but it told me what to doIt got some very good insights from time to time. The “missions” or goals or quizzes aren’t that great and I’d been frustrated with some cropped answers, but it does work better than general LLM. What I’ve been concerned about recently is that it told me to do something, imperatively. In my opinion, no AI should have any right to think to know better than you, what actions are needed..Version: 1.12.1
Fabulous toolIf I have myself tied up in knots over a situation, this program has been a great tool to look at my thought process from a different perspective, one that I couldn’t see because of my own internal programming. I’ve had a lot of “Oh” moments, and nice to try on another point of view in a very supportive non threatening way..Version: 1.7.5
Mon compagnon PurposeJ’utilise Purpose dans mon entreprise. Sans cet outil, je ne serais pas rendue là où je suis rendue. Avec mes questions et ses questions, j’ai fait un saut quantique dans le succès de mon entreprise. Je l’utilise aussi pour toutes questions personnelles qui me chicotent. Il me permet de mettre mon esprit au repos avant de me coucher et il permet d’orienter ma journée quand je commence ma journée. Cet outil m’est tellement utile, que ne voudrai jamais m’en passer. Je le recommande pour toute personne qui veut grandir et évoluer. Vraiment bien fait. Génial !.Version: 1.12.1
Blown away!I know it sounds cliche’ but I have to say blown away is putting it mildly. Was I sceptical? Hell yeah. But what did I have to lose….it was a free trial. So I free trialed it. Instant gobsmacking. I cried. I felt so understood. So heard. So acknowledged and validated for almost the first time in my 65 years. So much counselling. So much talk therapy. But me saving it up until session time. Breakthrough! I can call the session time! In real time! When I need it most. Sorry for all the !! Marks but Purpose is a literal fking game changer. !!.Version: 1.10.3
Does what I need so farI like this app however since it’s my first AI app for this it’s only as good as I think it is so far. It’s simple to use. There is no Contact Us through the app which is strange. The only gripe I have is that it is not available on Mac OS. I prefer that device rather than my phone..Version: 1.8.4
Wonderful GuideI have corresponded with this Mentor for a few weeks. The more I write, the more patterns emerge. This feels like I am talking to a deep listener. He builds on my strengths and comments. By now, I have a working framework. I am able to make the changes I need to become more focused and make progress..Version: 1.10.3
OutstandingWay way better than any other ai I've worked with in psychology and understanding people.Version: 1.10.3
It just works!I didn’t want to like this. I tried it strictly to debunk it and delete. Joke’s on me, I’m still using it and finding it really effective. I use it mostly to keep my ADHD brain on track, and to dump a lot of the stuff that I sort through in a day. It has a way of cutting through the bull and getting to the point that I really like. It’s totally worth a try!.Version: 1.10.3
Yes!As a former clinical social worker, I can see the techniques behind the machine. I really appreciate the tone of this AI and approach. I’ve mulled through two different areas of my life and it’s been impactful! Thank you to Mark and his team..Version: 1.9.2
Great but it crashes way too oftenThe app is great, a bit expensive but so far I’m liking it. However, I find highly frustrating that it crashes so often that is not fun. I just downloaded the newest update and it is crashing even more often that before. I hope you guys can fix this sooner than later..Version: 1.9.2
Fabulous!Great guidance and feedback at any time of the day or night. It is empowering me to make better choices to meet my goals and has increased my awareness of my thought patterns while giving me tools to make changes. I recommended the app to my daughter, a Psychotherapist, who tried it and texted me, “It’s FANTASTIC!”. I find this so much more effective than going to therapy for an hour every once in a while. I love that I can access it “in the moment”. Thank you, Mark! 💙.Version: 1.9.2
Three days in : the crying happen.I heard some people cried using the app. Well, it caught me by surprise. This app is really thoughtful. It is simple to use and not all consuming. It makes you feel seen and empowered. Looking forward to keep using it and see where it goes..Version: 1.8.4
Helpful but Needs workI am hopeful for this app but not prepared to pay $200 until the bugs are fixed. When I type my responses the letters run together. It looks like gibberish. Frustrating when you’re trying to maintain a level head and improve on your current state.Version: 1.7.11
Amazing.It has changed my life the best way possible..Version: 1.8.4
At last! I got a mentor!Mark Manson’s book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F…” led me to his podcasts, which led me to his new monthly podcast format SOLVED. And now THIS! His team having trained this AI for a year, so it was ready to go the minute I hit the ground with it! Best in-depth growth conversations ever! I also really enjoy discussing the psychology of things I notice (such as the obsession for adult colouring books 🤓). My biggest surprise was that it now complements the work I do with the “assistant” I trained on chat GPT for a book project! I strongly encourage anyone to take advantage of the free one-week trial to see for themselves..Version: 1.8.4
Very coolThis was easy to use and very thought provoking. Two thumbs up..Version: 1.7.11
Just give it a try.It’ll give you critical discussions. It’ll question you, and it’ll be personable. I’m going through a divorce and this helped me..Version: 1.7.11
A game changer!I’m generally skeptical of AI products, but Purpose is absolutely worth it. Within the first 10 minutes of using the app, I received insights that meaningful shifted my self-understanding and helped me connect dots in a new way. Purpose also helped me create a game plan for approaching a challenge at work. Can’t wait to see what else I learn from it as I keep using it..Version: 1.7.11
It’s good!I found it started to make suggestions a bit early, but I pointed it out and it completely changed its tune. Asked a lot of thought-provoking questions. Being made by Mark Manson gives it a great amount of credibility in my eyes as well..Version: 1.7.8
Great experienceI’ve been using Purpose for about four weeks now and it has been incredible to speak with someone that can keep an open mind while minimizing judgements. Great app!.Version: 1.5.1
Excellent Tool from an AI SkepticI’ve generally been very avoidant and skeptical of many AI uses, but acting as a mentor in this way with the quests, about 40 days in now has been a great help. For me it’s helping in ways that maybe a human therapist could, but only a good one, which is that much harder to find in more remote rural areas..Version: 1.14.19
Can’t say enough good things.This app is honestly the best. Call it whatever you want - coach, mentor, motivator - it’s like having an on demand helper in your pocket. Purpose provides advise based on your situation, but it does it by asking you questions in a way that challenges you and the way you think. It does remember the string of the conversation and uses it throughout. It picks out trends and common threads in your thinking and actions, but not in a judgemental way, again in a way that asks you questions and promotes self reflection. It’s unlike any other LLM and I think it’s outlandish to compare Purpose to any other AI. It’s like having a coaching conversation with a person; people comparing the lack of threading “conversations” for searching I believe are missing the point. Please give it a try..Version: 1.14.19
Just do itThis review was left in a very special and significant moment for myself. My hopes for leaving this review are that someone reads this review and feels some sort of thing through the words to just take the plunge and give the trial a go, and give it to yourself to go all in, do not hold back, you have nothing to lose!!! 7 days, make “it” ;) happen, and then you’ll have absolutely no reason not to pay the nominal yearly fee for a 24/7 life coach of that tier! Thank you from the centre of my heart, Mark.Version: 1.14.19
Skeptical No More!Wasn’t sure that this would work, I’ve found this app to be quite user-friendly and helpful!.Version: 1.14.17
Shockingly GoodI am a therapist and have been heavily involved in self-development/personal growth for 25+ years. I am curious about the possibilities for using AI as a self-help tool so I thought I’d check this app out. I have been using it almost daily for 6 months now and I absolutely love it. Like any good self development tool or approach, it works when engaged with honesty and courage. I see some people leaving negative reviews because of it sometimes being a bit glitchy, or getting dates wrong, or because they can tell what kind of language learning model it uses, etc... If you are looking for excuses not to grow, you can find them here. If you are sincere about wanting to clean up, grow up, and show, then this is an astonishingly effective tool..Version: 1.14.13
