Daily Inspiration

Each day, OpenMates presents thought-provoking videos, Wikipedia article prompts, and feature tips to spark curiosity and help you discover what OpenMates can do.

What It Does

Daily Inspiration shows up to ten curated prompts on your new chat screen. The daily mix includes videos, Wikipedia article prompts, and OpenMates feature tips. Video and Wikipedia inspirations start a chat about the topic; feature tips open the relevant settings area when available.

When you are not signed in yet, the first inspirations introduce OpenMates itself: AI mates, app skills, memories/settings, example chats, CLI/programmatic use, and privacy controls. These logged-out inspirations are local defaults and are replaced or outranked by personalised inspirations after you sign in and use OpenMates.

How It Works

Viewing Inspirations

• Open the new chat screen to see your daily inspirations as banners at the top.
• Swipe or use the navigation arrows to browse through them.
• Each banner shows an inspiring phrase and either a video preview, Wikipedia/article card, or feature card.

Starting a Chat

1. Click Start Chat on a video or Wikipedia inspiration.
2. A new chat opens with the inspiration phrase as the first message and the related video or Wikipedia link.
3. No credits are used until you send your first reply. The initial message and videos are free.

Feature tips do not start chats. They deep-link to the relevant OpenMates settings page when one exists.

Personalisation

Inspirations are tailored to your interests based on topics from your recent conversations. The more you chat, the more relevant your daily inspirations become.

Logged-out visitors can also choose interest tags on the welcome screen. Those tags are stored only in the current browser session and locally reorder product explainers, example chats, and starter suggestions. They are not sent to OpenMates as cleartext. If you sign up or log in, your selected interests are encrypted on your device before they sync to your account and can be edited later under Settings > Account > Interests.

When Inspirations Refresh

• New inspirations are generated when you viewed at least one inspiration the previous day.
• If you did not view any, your existing ones stay.
• Inspirations are only generated for days when you actively used OpenMates.
• The order is randomized once per user per day, then kept consistent across devices.

Time-Based Display

The carousel keeps the same daily order across your devices. When you return to the new chat screen, OpenMates can show the next item first while keeping previous items available via the navigation arrows.

Cost

Daily inspiration generation is free – you are not charged for the inspirations themselves. Credits are only used when you reply in the chat that opens from an inspiration.

Tips

• If you see an interesting inspiration but are short on time, it will stay until the next refresh.
• Clicking the video opens the original source in a new tab.
• Inspirations cover a wide range of topics – from science and history to technology and culture.
