Before anything was set up

Before the AI system, Sarah diligently kept daily notes in Apple Notes, jotting down her feelings and observations about her day. These entries were often detailed but unstructured, a stream of consciousness that rarely offered clear patterns or actionable insights. She intuitively felt stress ebbed and flowed, but couldn't articulate when or why, leading to cycles of feeling overwhelmed without identifying root causes.

Done-for-you, doing its job

The first step involved collating Sarah's disparate notes. She copied her Apple Notes entries, along with calendar data, into a Google Sheet. The Wellness & AI team then constructed a prompt for Gemini, designed to analyse this text-based data for patterns related to stress levels and potential triggers. Sarah then interacted with the system by pasting her consolidated data and specific prompts, observing as the AI processed the information.

The finished system, running on its own

Now, Sarah has a streamlined weekly review process. Every Sunday, she exports her raw notes and calendar overview into a Google Sheet. A pre-defined prompt is then used with a custom Gemini Pro setup to generate a concise summary report. This report highlights key stress patterns and quantifies potential correlations, providing her with objective data to inform her weekly planning and self-care strategies.
