Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Daniel, and today I’m honored to share something that’s been quietly changing lives — including my own.
Meet Life Note — where your mind meets history’s greatest thinkers.
What is Life Note?
Most AI gives quick answers or tries to please.
Life Note does the opposite.
It captures the underlying worldviews of history’s most profound thinkers — from Steve Jobs to Carl Jung, from Buddha to Paul Graham — offering perspectives that challenge, inspire, and deepen your thinking.
AI’s role isn’t to think for you, but to help you think more deeply, clearly, and creatively. Life Note is designed to help you become a clearer, more creative, more courageous version of yourself.
🌍 Who it’s for?
Our users include:
Those building emotional resilience with Marcus Aurelius or Musashi
Founders getting clarity on their startup journey with Paul Graham and Steve Jobs
People healing through breakups with wisdom from Brene Brown or Carl Jung
People depending on their spiritual or religious practices with Buddha and Jesus
Marketers journaling through burnout with Seth Godin and other creative mentors
Writers building a book alongside Maya Angelou, Hemingway, and Shakespeare
It’s made for:
People seeking real self-knowledge, not surface-level self-help
People going through something real — a hard season, a turning point
The spiritually curious, the relentlessly reflective
Those who approach productivity and knowledge differently and believe in internalization through reflection
Over 50% of our subscribers never journaled before, and many now say it's the most healing habit they’ve formed.
🌱 Why I built this
After 10+ years of meditation and building AI tools, I kept seeing the same gap — a lack of tools that connect productivity with meaning.
So I built what I wished existed: A sacred space to slow down, reflect, and grow — guided by humanity’s timeless minds.
🤝 What I’d love from you
Try it. Write 1–3 honest entries this week. Let the mentors surprise you.
Share feedback. What resonated? What didn’t? What can we improve?
If you’ve ever wanted a mentor but couldn’t find one — this might be it.
Namaste,
Daniel

@danielwchen Life Note lets you tap the wisdom of history’s greatest thinkers without reading a thousand books -- inspiring concept. Gave my support! Congrats on launch – I launched my product too, feel free to check it out.
Someone can get so many wise insights without the need to read 1,000 books. Thank you Daniel :)

One of the first things I tried with ChatGPT was to chat with great minds from the past. I still think it's a pretty cool use case if you know what you're up to. Nice idea, will try it out!
Congrats on the launch and good luck! 🍀
