Question 1

What do I actually do with Fractal?

Accepted Answer

Talk to it about what’s going on — a decision, something you’re stuck on, a half-formed idea, what happened today. Fractal remembers the context, notices when something keeps coming up, and helps you work out what to do next. It also takes notes, creates to-dos with reminders and adds calendar events from the conversation, so the useful parts don’t get lost.

Question 2

How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

A general chat starts cold every time. Fractal starts from you: what you said in April, what you decided in June, what you keep circling back to. So instead of generic advice you get something that notices when you’re repeating yourself — and remembers what you’re trying to change.

Question 3

Is Fractal an AI personal assistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes — one that already knows your context. It takes notes, creates to-dos with reminders, adds calendar events and updates your plans, all from ordinary conversation, and answers out of your own history rather than a textbook.

Question 4

Can I use it as a journal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Journal entries take text, a mood, photos and voice notes, can be filed into folders and locked behind a PIN. What you write there feeds the same understanding of you the rest of the app uses — so a pattern you journal about can show up later in a conversation.

Question 5

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Your data is yours. It’s used only to build your own private Fractal, never trained into a shared model, and never sold or shared. You can see what Fractal remembers, export everything, and delete your account and all of its data yourself, in one step, whenever you want.

You run deeper than your reflection.
