Meridian — Field notes https://meridianself.com/blog/ Field notes from Meridian: a weekly look at what we're building, what the research is teaching us, and where a private personal AI for the whole self is going. en Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT The night, and how it felt https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-24-the-night-and-how-it-felt.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-24-the-night-and-how-it-felt.html Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Your wearables can connect, your calendar can join, and you can now say a note out loud. But a sensor records the night without knowing the morning, and the research says the two move together. Holding both is the point. A door back in https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-17-a-door-back-in.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-17-a-door-back-in.html Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT The beta went live this week, real people, real invites, and it felt different than expected. We also built Reset, a short guided way back for the weeks that drift, and paused it while we decide if it's the right door. Plus an audit of the app's own confidence in its patterns. A mirror that shows its work https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-10-a-mirror-that-shows-its-work.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-10-a-mirror-that-shows-its-work.html Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Anything that claims to know you owes you two honest answers: how sure are you, and how much of this is actually me? This week, Meridian learned to answer both, on every pattern it shows you. A walk, and a word for it https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-08-a-walk-and-a-word-for-it.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-08-a-walk-and-a-word-for-it.html Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Two small, ordinary ways the mind gets quieter, a walk somewhere green and a word put to a feeling, and what the research from Stanford and UCLA actually shows about each. The days you move https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-07-the-days-you-move.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-07-the-days-you-move.html Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Movement changes the texture of a day. This week Meridian started learning what that link looks like in your life, not the average one. A jump in your data isn't always a jump in you https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-03-a-jump-in-your-data.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-07-03-a-jump-in-your-data.html Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT The engine learns context, so a reading that moves because you switched watches or crossed time zones is no longer mistaken for a change in you. Building Meridian in the open https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-06-30-building-meridian-in-the-open.html https://meridianself.com/blog/2026-06-30-building-meridian-in-the-open.html Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT The first field note from Meridian: why we're building in the open, what we shipped this week, and one thing the research keeps reminding us about sleep and mood.
