Starting with some quick facts:
- Newest phones have about 17 sensors per device. That’s not to mention wearables.
- The amount of data that is being collected about us on any given day is outpacing our ability to crunch these numbers.
- Beside sensors and wearables, there are additional data being tracked about you in the background through the services you use on daily basis, e.g screen time data, web browsing data, music history, etc.
- Over 95% of all this data is just hanging there, without any use, primarily because tools that can help you make sense of it are so limited.
- Apps that help you visualize this data, often provide you with daily reports or dashboards that have rigid formats! You are always left with whatever you are offered. The homepage of the app, or the report template, is the best you could get, and you can’t change that!
- Think about apps that do fitness reports, sleep reports, day productivity reports based on screen time, etc. Example: you may want some deeper insight, or even different numbers/metrics than what you’re allowed to view.
- Aside from the rigid formats, the way we look at our data could be different. Example: For a given week, you might want to know the total number of hours you’ve slept or kilometers you have cycled. While I could just want the daily average, instead of the totals throughout the week.
- The degree of customization for different insights is infinite. That’s why the rigid report format is not the ideal way to help users make sense of their data! Rigid data representation is constantly putting a cap on the value that we could’ve gained from our data!
- That’s not to mention that more advanced users could have no problem digging for deeper insight or interpreting more complex data visualization, while most users won’t.
- Something happened over the last 5-6 months that wasn’t possible before: Powerful AI models that are ready to learn from any amount of data, and provide you with answers to your questions, in the easiest way possible.
So putting this together, now imagine you got your own personal AI assistant, that could look at any type of data, and generate reports in seconds, how would you use it?
Imagine you’re able to ask stuff like this:
You can think of it as an intelligent search engine for your life activity.
This AI enables you to ask questions about your past activity in natural language and subsequently provides you answers that include:
- Smart reports, auto-generated based on your inquiry
- Reference to day & activity records relevant to your inquiry
- Context-based answers in natural language
For long I’ve dreamt I would have something like this to track my progress, and it seems that it’s finally now possible. That’s why we’re building https://hyperspaces.live –
A live realtime self-tracking aggregator that is intelligent enough to not only help you make sense of your daily data, but also do it in the most convenient way for you.
This is the first time self-tracking has been personalized & supercharged with intelligence.
Why is daily data so important?
The reason most people are interested to look at their daily data is that data is at the center of performance. You can’t quantify how well you are doing anything if you don’t look at your numbers. Think of when you go to the gym, when you diet, when you sleep, it’s all nothing without the numbers → which draws so much attention to: How convenient it is to look at these numbers if they are so important? Shouldn’t we look for the easiest possible way to get & look at these numbers to be able to progress as fast as we can?
Key here is to:
- Minimize manual entry
- Eliminate daily friction
- Amplify gained value
Which is the exact mission of Hyperspaces.
We’re trying to make journaling & self-tracking as convenient as possible.
