Frequently asked questions

What moodlog is, how the emotion model works, what happens to your data, and how access works during the research preview.

General

What is moodlog?

An emotion journaling platform that uses AI to track patterns over time. It combines quick journaling with automated emotion detection powered by modern NLP models.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. moodlog is a tool for self-reflection and awareness, not a diagnostic tool or a therapy replacement. If you're in crisis or need support, reach out to a qualified mental health professional.

Who created moodlog?

Built by someone with BPD and a computer science background, combining lived experience with technical expertise to create a low-friction emotional tracking tool.

How it works

How does emotion detection work?

A fine-tuned RoBERTa transformer model analyzes your text and predicts emotions based on Plutchik's wheel. The model was trained on emotion-labeled data to recognize patterns in writing.

What is Plutchik's wheel of emotions?

A psychological model organizing emotions into eight primary categories that can combine and vary in intensity, like mixing colors. moodlog uses this framework for its structured yet nuanced approach to emotional experience.

The eight primary emotions

  • Joy
  • Trust
  • Fear
  • Surprise
  • Sadness
  • Disgust
  • Anger
  • Anticipation
How accurate is the emotion detection?

Detection provides suggestions based on your writing, but isn't perfect. You can always override or adjust the detected emotions. Think of it as a starting point for reflection, not a definitive answer.
