Xtraktr

The AI that interviews you.
Until you know what you actually think.

Your feed is full of other people's takes. Think through whatever's stuck in your head, and Xtraktr asks one question at a time until you know your own. It runs on your phone, so it works in airplane mode.

  1. 1
    Say or type the rough version

    The one that's still rattling around, half-formed.

  2. 2
    It asks a question about it

    You answer, and it asks the next one.

  3. 3
    Walk away knowing where you land

    A summary, an outline, a Q&A doc, built from your words. Keep it to yourself, or turn it into a post. Either way, the thinking is yours.

Xtraktr won't write your opinions for you or answer random questions. It draws out what you already think and gives it back in a shape you can use. See how it works →

No signal? It still works.

The AI runs on your phone, so it doesn't need a connection to answer you. The whole interview works in airplane mode: on a flight, in a tunnel, anywhere with no bars. The thinking happens on the phone, so your words never touch our servers.

I use Xtraktr to think through all my thoughts out loud. I wanted to take advantage of communicating with AI without having to sacrifice my privacy.

Is your journal a mirror or a cross-examiner?

Most journaling stops at the record: you write it down, you feel lighter, the same complaint comes back next week. The Mirror Test is six questions about what actually happens after you close the notebook, and the free book shows you the second pass that changes it.
