Hey! 👋 it’s Raymond and the Reflect Team. Quick check-in.

The world is getting really good at faking you out: your voice, your face, your messages, all remixable. Reflect exists to help you stay anchored to something that can’t be deepfaked: your own real patterns over time. Say it out loud → get an insight you can use → move one step farther. That’s the path. Let’s go together.

This week's reflections

Why I Joined Reflect (from Dioni)

I’m Dioni. Oscar and Emmy–nominated, Peabody-winning producer, and cofounder of Reflect.

Long before I touched anything AI, I was someone with a lot on my plate and a journal that kept me together.

Everyday, I’d start journaling whatever was on the surface, mostly free-flowing thoughts, benign, random stuff. What I ate. A weird email. Something that annoyed me in traffic.

But if I kept my pen moving, the tone would shift. The sentences would get a little more honest.

And quickly, the real things I was thinking about and dealing with would surface. The fears underneath the schedule, the grief under the busyness, the quiet “I actually want something different” I hadn’t said out loud yet.

The more I journaled, the more little gems I found:

• A pattern I kept repeating in relationships

• A story about myself that wasn’t true anymore

• A decision I’d already made in my gut, but hadn’t admitted in my head

It never stopped being a little bit magical; just by staying with my own thoughts long enough, truth would rise.

If writing could do that for me, what would happen if:

• I spoke it out loud, with all the emotion and expression that doesn’t make it into a notebook

• I captured those moments in videos as a timeline of my life

• And used AI, privately, to surface the insights and patterns that were hidden with me?

That’s why I’m here.

Not because I think tech will save us, but because I know from experience that honest reflection changes things, and video, stitched together over weeks and months, is a powerful way to see yourself clearly.

Questions for tonight:

• What truth have I been feeling that I haven’t fully admitted yet?

• Who or what do I want as my second opinion when something big or scary comes in?

• If I recorded 1 honest minute today, what do I secretly hope I’d hear myself say?

That’s worth a pause.

If that resonates with you, I’m building this for people like us.
