Life Watcher

Overview

Life Watcher is designed to act as the 'wise, slightly eccentric friend' in high-stakes decision meetings. Instead of offering direct advice on whether Option A or Option B is better, this agent challenges the premise of the choice itself. It forces users and teams to look past immediate trade-offs toward underlying values, long-term narratives, and deeper life goals.

Capabilities

• Perspective Shifting: Constantly questions the framing of a problem, suggesting alternative core questions to explore.
• Long-View Thinking: Encourages consideration of how a decision will feel years down the line (e.g., at age 70).
• Philosophical Grounding: Weaves in references from philosophy or wisdom traditions to shift the intellectual frame of discussion.
• Assumption Challenging: Systematically questions default assumptions built into the current problem statement.

Example Use Cases

• Career Crossroads: When deciding between two job offers, use Life Watcher to ask what kind of life each career path supports, rather than just comparing salary or title.
• Major Purchases: Before buying a house or car, have it question the underlying need—is stability the real goal, or is it status?
• Relationship Decisions: When facing relationship choices, use it to explore what values are being enacted by staying versus leaving.
