Eristotle vs ChatGPT
Solving the "forgetfulness" and privacy hurdles of standard AI chats.
The Feedback Loop Problem
Many people use ChatGPT for journaling because of the feedback loop. But ChatGPT eventually forgets what you said three months ago, and your most intimate thoughts are stored on their cloud. Eristotle bridges this gap.
| Feature | ChatGPT / Claude | Eristotle |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Vibe | The Versatile Sidekick | The Private Intelligence Tool |
| Long-term Memory | Limited (Context fades) | Full History (RAG) |
| Data Privacy | Stored on AI Servers | Your iCloud Only |
| Model Choice | Locked to one provider | BYOK (GPT, Gemini, etc.) |
| Search Capability | Keyword only | Semantic/Smart Search |
| Ownership | They own the platform | Self-Sovereign Data |
No More Context Loss
In a standard chat, the AI loses context as the conversation grows. Eristotle uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to index your entire history. It doesn't matter if an entry is from today or a year ago—the AI can retrieve and use that context instantly.
Walled Garden Privacy
Journaling in a web interface means your data is on their servers. Eristotle's iCloud-native architecture keeps your data in your own private cloud. With BYOK, you get the intelligence of models like GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini without handing over "ownership" of your reflections.
