Lola had a bizarre day — there was a giraffe involved — and instead of just dumping it into a notebook, she opened Jot. This is the first time she lets JotBot ask her deeper questions in real time, turning a messy moment into actual emotional insight.
Meet Lola.
Lola is a fictional journaler we created to show what it really feels like to use Jot — not the polished version, but the honest, chaotic, “what is even happening right now” version. She’s anxious, funny, reactive, dramatic when she’s tired, and very good at pretending she’s fine. In other words: she journals like the rest of us.
In today’s entry, Lola writes about a very strange day. There’s the giraffe (we’ll get there), there’s a wave of emotions she doesn’t fully understand, and there’s that familiar spiral where you’re not sure if you’re angry, overwhelmed, or just sleep-deprived. Normally that’s where journaling ends: you vent, you close the app, and you’re still not sure what any of it meant.
Jot is built to not leave you there.
Instead of being just a blank page, Jot can respond. With the “JotBot” feature, the journal becomes a conversation — not generic advice, not toxic positivity, but gentle questions that help you understand what’s really underneath what you just wrote. After Lola’s first brain-dump, JotBot steps in and asks things like: “What part of that moment actually hurt?” and “Was this about what happened, or about what it reminded you of?” Lola then writes back to those prompts, and that’s where the shift happens.
You can literally see her go from “today was insane” to “oh, I felt ignored and that’s why I snapped.”
That’s the point of this series. We’ll be sharing Lola’s real (messy, human) journal entries alongside the exact questions JotBot asked her — and how she answered when she let herself slow down and tell the truth. It’s a peek at how Jot works in the wild, and how emotional self-awareness can come from something as simple as: write → reflect → get asked one good follow-up → write again.
