AI Stat Analysis
On daily journal entries, you can opt into an AI analysis pass that reads your entry and turns what you wrote into real-life stat points. Describe a gym session, get a Strength bump. Reflect on resisting a craving, get Willpower. It's how writing about your life becomes a measurable signal.
What the AI Looks At
AI analysis is available on daily free-write entries only - it's not run on plans, retrospections, guided entries, or entries linked to longer periods. The focus on daily free-writes keeps the analysis grounded in specific recent behavior, where the system can realistically infer real-life patterns.
The AI reads your entry and looks for content that maps to stat gains:
- Physical activity - grants Strength.
- Intellectual work, reading, study - grants Intelligence.
- Mindfulness, reflection, meditation - grants Clarity.
- Body-maintenance content (sleep, hydration, nutrition) - grants Vitality.
- Social interactions - grants Social.
- Confident self-presentation, public-facing work - grants Charisma.
- Successful avoidance of bad habits, self-discipline - grants Willpower.
Stat gains from AI analysis are usually small - a point or two per relevant theme - but they accumulate over days of writing, helping your real-life stat profile reflect your actual behavior.
Real-Life Stats Explained
The seven stats it maps to are the same seven real-life stats your good habits can be tagged with. Journaling is an additional source on top of habit completions.
Four of the seven - Strength, Intelligence, Vitality, Clarity - apply a zone-based multiplier to your avatar's combat sheet. The other three (Social, Charisma, Willpower) are tracked but don't currently affect combat. See Real-Life Stats (Avatar).
Up to Three Analyses Per Day
You can run AI analysis on up to three daily free-write entries per day. Each run targets one entry you pick and grants its own batch of stat points. Once the third analysis for the day is done, the option is hidden on any remaining entries until the next day. This keeps the system from being gameable by spamming entries for stat farming.
You can see which entries were analyzed on their detail pages - a badge shows "analyzed" and lists the stat gains each one produced.
Running the Analysis
When you save a qualifying daily entry, you get a prompt: "Analyze this entry for real-life stats?" Tapping yes sends the entry for analysis.
Critical: the entry has to leave your device for the AI to read it. Unlike most content in Scope, which is end-to-end encrypted and never readable on the server, AI-analyzed entries are decrypted and processed by an external AI service. You confirm this before it happens - see privacy section below.
The analysis returns a list of stat bumps within a few seconds. You can accept and apply them, or cancel.
Privacy of Your Entries
This is the one place in Scope where your private content is sent off-device:
- You confirm before each analysis. There's no "auto-analyze everything" setting.
- Only the entry being analyzed leaves your device. The rest of your journal stays encrypted on your devices.
- The AI provider sees the entry's text. Our servers don't store the analysis result in plaintext - only the stat numbers come back.
If you'd rather never send journal content to an external AI, decline the analysis prompt. You'll still get the entry's normal rewards (silver, XP, arena tickets); you just won't get the stat bumps.
The tradeoff
AI analysis is a real feature but it's also an opt-in tradeoff. The quiet rule of Scope is that your private content is yours - it's encrypted at rest, unreadable on the server, never exposed to other users. AI analysis is the exception, and the prompt is deliberately explicit about it. Every time, every entry, you confirm.
Turning Analysis On or Off
There's no global setting to disable AI analysis. The prompt appears after saving a qualifying entry; if you always decline, you effectively have it off.
Stat gains from past analyzed entries stay in your stat ledger - you can't retroactively unlearn a Strength bump. You control future analyses by choosing whether to confirm them.
