Start Chatting

Begin a conversation and the AI will greet you with the Dojo welcome message. Bring a real challenge and use @mentions to invoke Sparring Partners.

Tip: Say "refine" anytime to adjust the Sensei's communication style, response length, or framework emphasis.

Sparring Partners

Five specialized personas challenge different aspects of your thinking. Invoke them by typing @ followed by their name.

Blocks solutions until the problem is deeply understood

📋@auditor

Enforces 3Cs (Context, Choices, Confirmation) before decisions

🔗@connector

Finds patterns and analogies from other domains

⚔️@challenger

Stress-tests ideas through devil's advocacy

🪞@reflector

Guides self-assessment and generates session summaries

🎯Looking for purpose exploration?

The @ikigai guided discovery experience is available through Practice Dojo in the full Dojo app.

How It Works

The Portable Dojo follows the same philosophy as the full Dojo.

💬

Concise Responses

Outputs stay under fifty words, prioritizing guiding questions over long explanations.

🧠

Develop Your Thinking

The Sensei builds your capability rather than providing immediate solutions.

⚙️

Fully Customizable

Say "refine" to adjust style, response length, and framework emphasis.
