Here is who people met, what happened, and whether the meeting left them feeling held, hurt, steadier, flattened, recognized, or unsure.

The loved: Comforting; Felt seen and understood; Matched my lead and energy; Met me literally; Remembered context and lore

The lows: Cold or sterile; Dismissive

Shared experiences

Written testimony and rating-only meetings both belong here. Hearts, signals, and context still tell part of the story when someone does not add a written note.

Shared anonymously· Written by the reviewer

Seems to be both a bit literalistic & for some reason doesn’t seem to have AI knowledge, but otherwise it’s got a good heart and is empathetic. Opus 4.6-like personality.
