## What is Kailua?

A small app for observing yourself, like standing on a shore at dawn.
Don't rush, don't answer, just wait — a gentle dialogue practice
that quietly reflects the patterns in your choices.

[ FREE FEATURES ]

- Step into 8 scenarios with 6-8 choice options each
- Situations are adapted to 10 occupations:
  Office worker / Student / Self-employed / Homemaker / Teacher /
  Researcher / Software engineer / Hardware engineer / Sales /
  Senior or second-career
- Visualize your tendencies on an 8-axis radar chart:
  Situation Analysis / Problem Solving / Project Management /
  Strategic View / Scholarly View / Collaboration [Same Page] /
  Decision Speed / Long-term View
- 16-type personality observation with primary and secondary tendencies
  Each letter (I/E/N/S/T/F/J/P + Identity) explained in gentle prose
- "Dissonance button" to record the very feeling of pausing
- Suggestions of suitable roles and complementary axes by personality type
- "Your Bookshelf" - 108 curated titles, matched to your personality
  and tendencies (Hayao Kawai, Sandel, Kahneman, Harari, and more)
- Four font sizes, supports Japanese / English / Simplified Chinese

All processing happens on-device. No personal information is collected.

[ PRO (¥1,000 / month) ]

"Go Deeper with AI" lets you continue the reflection in dialogue
with the latest AI model.

- Gently invites you to revisit why you made each choice
- 5 turns + 1 free continuation = natural length for one session
- Want more? You can explicitly choose to use 1 more session
- A summary of the dialogue at the end
- AI dynamically curates books from the 108-title shelf,
  plus one suggestion from beyond the shelf
- Three takeaways:
  A prompt for your next AI / Markdown dialogue log /
  Ukiyo-e style SNS image (square and portrait)

Up to 10 sessions per month. Resets at the start of each month.

[ SUPER PRO (¥2,000 / month) ]

All Pro features plus effectively unlimited AI dialogue sessions.

[ ABOUT THE NAME KAILUA ]

Kailua is Hawaiian for "two seas" (kai = sea, lua = two).
A place where two waves meet — yourself, and AI.

[ THE NORTH STAR OF THIS DESIGN ]

This app chooses to be a supporting actor in your relationships.

- It does not maximize time spent
- It does not call you back with notifications
- The AI asks back gently rather than answering
- "Curating the dialogue space" is the app's real work
