🔹 Overview of the Idea
OPENJOURNEY is a social journaling platform for builders, powered by an AI agent.
It helps entrepreneurs and makers publicly document their projects, share transparent milestones (MRR, ARR, tech stack), and discover similar people in the ecosystem.
Think: Next Linkedin
⸻
🎯 Project Goal
To build a real-world, agent-first journaling experience that:
• Encourages daily writing and storytelling
• Structures startup progress automatically (projects & journeys)
• Connects users with similar builders using vector + web search
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
✨ User Flow
1. User logs in via Supabase Auth
2. Chats with the agent (e.g., “I shipped v2 today”)
3. Agent infers project context and automatically:
• Logs journal entries
• Creates project/journey if missing
4. Users can view their progress and discover similar people
🧠 Core Features
• Daily journaling with memory
• Project creation with auto-inference
• Journey tracking (title + description + category)
• PgVector + Gemini-powered semantic search
• Exa-powered profile & founder discovery
• Display profiles with links (GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.)
⸻
🧰 Tools & Technologies
• Agentic Stack: Agno Framework
• LLM: Gemini 2.5 Flash
• Embedder: GeminiEmbedder
• Vector Search: PgVector
• Web Search: Exa API
• Backend: FastAPI + Supabase (DB/Auth)
• Frontend: React + Vercel
• Storage: Postgres for sessions & memory with Agno
⸻
🧑🎨 UI & Experience
• Minimalist chat interface
• Agent handles all structure (no explicit forms)
• Markdown card-style project views
• Profile discovery with social links (GitHub/X/LinkedIn)
