Mark Manson, author of the classic self-help book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, might just be done with writing books. For good. Along with Raj Singh, an AI entrepreneur, he’s just launched a new app called Purpose. It’s an app for your phone that you chat with, just like you would with ChatGPT, except it’s an AI mentor specifically engineered for your personal growth.
I’ve tried Purpose, and it’s bizarrely insightful, producing mic-drop moments within minutes. It gets to know you, and before long, it’s clarified your life situation, and you’re working together on the simple steps you need to improve things. I wanted to find out more, so I contacted both the men behind Purpose to ask them a few questions, and they were kind enough to talk to me over Zoom.
