AI Dashboard

Personalized insights based on your shift patterns

▼

Your AI-powered companion that understands your shift life:

  • Daily check-ins: Quick mood and energy updates after shifts
  • Personalized suggestions: Tips based on your schedule and patterns
  • Shift context awareness: The AI knows your upcoming shifts and recent patterns
  • Conversational interface: Chat naturally about your schedule and wellbeing

📋 AI Dashboard FAQ

What does the AI dashboard do?
The AI dashboard greets you with context-aware insights based on your shift schedule. It can tell you about your upcoming shifts, suggest recovery strategies, highlight how many weekends you've worked, calculate your real free time, and more. It learns your patterns over time to give better advice.
Is the AI always accurate?
The AI uses your actual schedule data and logged mood entries to generate insights. While it aims to be helpful, it's a supportive tool — not a medical or professional wellbeing service. Use its suggestions as a starting point for your own decisions.
💚

Mood & Energy Tracking

Log how you feel after shifts and spot patterns

▼

Track your wellbeing alongside your schedule:

  • Post-shift mood log: Quick check-in after each shift

  • Shift-mood correlation: Understand which schedules work best for you

📋 Mood Tracking FAQ

How do I log my mood?
The AI dashboard will prompt you for a mood check-in, or you can start one by telling the AI how you feel. It's a simple scale — just tap how you're feeling. Your entries are private and used only for your personal insights.
Who can see my mood data?
Only you. Mood data is completely private and never shared with anyone — not friends or any third party.

Protect My Time

Set boundaries and defend your off-days

▼

Tools to protect your personal time and recovery:

📋 Protect My Time FAQ

What is Protect My Time?
Protect My Time helps you set boundaries around your personal time. You can mark time blocks as protected, get reminders when you're overcommitting on off-days, and see your real free time after accounting for sleep, commute, and recovery.
Can others see my protected time?
No. Protected time is entirely personal. Friends who view your schedule via the comparison page may see that time is marked as protected, but cannot see any details.

What are monthly AI reflection reports?
At the end of each month, the AI generates a personalized report analyzing your shift patterns, mood trends, recovery usage, and overall balance. It highlights what went well and suggests areas where you might adjust your approach.

What is off-duty highlighting?
Off-duty highlighting shows days when members of a collection are all off duty. Open a collection and look for highlighted dates — these are days you could all meet up. Great for planning group outings.
What is the schedule comparison (swimlane) view?
When viewing a friend's profile, you can see a side-by-side comparison of your schedules. This shows your duties and your friend's duties in parallel, with protected time and recovery periods visible. It's a quick way to find overlapping free time.
