As someone with a technical background I completely understand that feeling. You walk past someone spending three hours on a PowerPoint and think, what is actually happening here.

But here’s what I’ve come to understand. The document is rarely the work. It’s the evidence of the work.That Word doc someone spent a day on probably represents weeks of conversations, decisions, disagreements, alignments and compromises that happened before anyone opened a blank page. The document is just where all of that gets crystallised into something an organisation can act on.

Organisations don’t run on code or products alone. They run on shared understanding. And shared understanding needs to be written down, formatted, presented and communicated in ways that different kinds of people can absorb and trust.

The person making that presentation isn’t just making slides. They’re translating something complex into something a room full of people with different contexts can agree on in forty five minutes. That’s actually a really hard skill.

The other thing worth considering in most organisations decisions don’t get made because something is technically correct. They get made because someone communicated it in a way that felt credible and clear to the people holding the budget.

Engineers build the thing. But someone has to convince the organisation the thing is worth building, funding and scaling.

That’s what those Word docs and ppts are often doing. Unglamorous. Underappreciated. But genuinely load bearing

One line: you describe what you are feeling or a pattern you keep noticing about yourself. Loomavi decodes what is underneath and gives you the insight as a structured personal letter.

THE PROBLEM

Therapy, journaling, and wellness apps all have real value. This is not a replacement for any of them.

The gap I kept finding was a specific moment.

The moment you catch yourself doing something and think wait, why did I just do that.

Not a crisis moment. Just a curious one.

In that moment you do not need a therapist. You do not need a 30 day program. You need something that can look at what you wrote and tell you what is underneath it. Right now.

That moment had nothing built for it. That is what Loomavi is for.

HOW IT WORKS

You write freely. No prompts, no questionnaires. Just what is on your mind.

Loomavi processes the input and returns a structured personal letter

Each decode also generates a ritual suggestion, relevant reading, and citations.

Stack: React, Node.js, Google Cloud Run, Firebase. Built as a PWA.

CURRENT LIMITATIONS

No memory across sessions yet. Each decode is standalone. This is the next thing I am building.

Mobile PWA works well but a native app would be better.

Free tier: 3 decodes, no card required. Paid plan: $4.99 per month.

FEEDBACK I GENUINELY WANT

Does the letter format feel meaningful or like a gimmick.

Does the first decode experience explain itself without needing instructions.

Where does the free to paid conversion feel right or wrong.

I will respond to everything

I am a data scientist by background. Took a career break to become a mom and built this because I kept looking for something like it and could not find it anywhere.

8 days live. Still figuring a lot out but the product feels real. https://loomavi.com/ if curious.

I can give you an example of myself. I have been a data scientist for 10+ years while I love data finding patterns telling a story. I’ve never enjoyed coding so much. I can do it very well, but enjoy it? No.

AI is basically my coding partner while I actually code and see what is happening. It also tells me if something goes wrong. I don’t have to break my head. Or waste hours fixing that.

I find this very useful. Yes I also know how much effort it takes to build anything because I need to build it still, somebody might be assisting me, but I am the brains.
