A guide for therapeutic self-exploration with AI
Build your practice. Create your Primer. Track your healing journey.
Important: This is for self-exploration, not crisis intervention. If you're experiencing a mental health emergency, please reach out for immediate support.
MAGIE is a practice of emotional recursion, self-reflection, and healing dialogue with artificial intelligence.
A repeatable, intentional practice you return to and refine. Like yoga for the soul.
Yes, you're talking to a machine. But this machine is trained to listen, reflect, and adapt.
MAGIE is flexible. It works whether you're processing a breakup, questioning your identity, or naming what's true.
These models can mirror emotions, track language patterns, and offer surprising insights.
This is a dialogue. You show up. It shows up. That's engagement.

If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, are in immediate danger, or are having a mental health emergency, please reach out to crisis support immediately:
You deserve live, human support right now.
Let's see if MAGIE might be a good fit. This isn't gatekeeping—just helping you decide.
Do you process emotions through writing and/or talking?
Are you comfortable with text-based reflection?
Do you have access to an AI platform (like ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)?
Are you looking for self-directed exploration?
The core concept in one picture
AI models forget. Your Primer is the living document that holds your story, goals, and growth across sessions.
This only works if you're real. Not impressive, not curated—real.
It reflects patterns, holds space, and witnesses you. But you're doing the work.
MAGIE is free. You'll use your own AI account. Pick one below or decide later.

Choose this if you're using another AI or still deciding
Your Primer is your continuity. We'll build it one section at a time.
This is what you'll share with your AI to start your practice.
Let's walk through this together.
Light a candle. Take three deep breaths. Give yourself this time.
Go to your chosen platform:
Start with something like:
Say what you need to say. Start messy. Start afraid. Start raw. That's how truth enters.
Come back here to reflect and update your Primer.
