It operates natively inside messaging platforms like WhatsApp, prioritizing quiet, self-directed reflection over the noise of typical wellness applications.
What is The Mirror Project?
The Mirror Project is the core introductory experience of GenMyo. It is a free, 6-minute guided reflection session conducted entirely over WhatsApp. By asking a series of thoughtful, slow-paced questions, it helps you pause, clear away mental chatter, and identify what is actually happening in your life right now.
Is it free?
Yes. The Mirror Project is completely free to start and reflect. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or credit card requirements to start your daily or weekly sessions.
Do I need to download an app?
No. GenMyo runs directly within WhatsApp. There are no accounts to create, passwords to remember, or new applications to install on your phone. You reflect using the interface you already interact with daily.
How long does a reflection take?
A standard reflection session takes about 6 minutes. However, because you are in control of the pace, you can take as long as you'd like to reply. The system will never rush or nudge you.
Is it private? Can a human read my reflections?
Yes, it is private by default. Your reflection transcripts are processed programmatically. No human at GenMyo reads your reflections unless you explicitly flag a session for technical support or raise a safety concern. We never sell, rent, or share your transcripts with third parties or advertisers.
Do you use my reflections to train AI?
No. We process your reflections using secure API endpoints that explicitly exclude private user reflections from training foundation language models. Your inputs remain entirely your own.
Is this therapy? Can it replace a therapist?
