Your first five minutes

A guided interview fills an empty Flow and shows you your own Soul.

A new Flow is empty, and recall needs something to recall. The fastest way to fill it is the guided setup, run by your assistant.

  1. Start. Type flow start. It tells you what your Flow holds and the next step.
  2. Tell it who you are. flow i am <name> links notes written in the first person (“I prefer…”) to you.
  3. Run the interview. Say “interview me” (or flow interview). The assistant asks five questions one at a time and saves each answer, including your reasoning.
  4. See your Soul. After the fifth answer it builds your Soul — a short portrait of how you think and write — and shows it to you.
  5. Prove it. Open a brand-new chat and ask about something you just said.
