CapyLog: Transforming Mindsets, One Entry at a Time

Welcome to CapyLog, a journaling application designed to help shape perceptions of personal events by contributing a more positive outlook. You may know someone or have caught yourself in ruminating thoughts such as, “Why are people always ignoring me?.” Instead, try rephrasing that sentence to, “Some of my coworkers don’t seem to listen when I’m speaking. I should try using a different tone when speaking with them next time.” Humans tend to give greater weight to negative information compared to positive, which can sometimes lead us to overlook its impact on our well-being. CapyLog provides an alternative perspective to one’s recollection of personal events and seeks to retrain your brain through the use of cognitive reframing.

By leveraging advanced AI technology, CapyLog not only helps you reframe negative thoughts through the use of daily journal entries but also provides a friendly Capybara chatbot companion to talk to. With CapyLog, users are prompted to be more mindful of the words they use and how they communicate with others on a day-to-day basis.
