Logging an entry

Use the search bar at the bottom of the Chat board to log anything in one tap.

The Chat board is where you log. Whatever you want to track — a workout move, a meal, your mood, pages read tonight — starts the same way: type it into the search bar at the bottom.

The flow

Open /chat.
Tap the search bar at the bottom of the feed.
Start typing the name of what you're logging.
The dropdown shows matching Collections — and any Presets you've set up on them, marked Preset · Collection name.
Tap one to log it. On a keyboard the most likely match is already selected — just press Enter, or use ↑ / ↓ to pick another. Press ↓ past the bottom of the list to step out, and Enter sends your text to the AI instead.

The entry appears at the top of the feed instantly. If you need to correct a value, tap any field on the card and edit in place.

Picking a Preset creates the whole template in one tap — the entry plus its pre-filled values and sub-entries. Presets match on their own name or their Collection's name, so typing either "kettlebell" or "workouts" surfaces a "Kettlebell full body workout" preset. You create Presets on the Collection page's Presets tab — or just ask the AI: describe a session and say "create a preset for it", and the agent logs it and saves it as a Preset you can reuse.

What you can log

The same flow works for anything. A few starter ideas:

Fitness

push-ups 20 · pull-ups 8 · squats 15
run 5.2 (kilometres) · bike 45 (minutes)
bench press 70 · deadlift 120

Health & body

sleep 7.5 · weight 78.4 · water 8 (glasses)
meds taken · vitamins · protein 140

Habits & mood

meditation 15 · journal · gratitude
mood 4 (out of 5) · energy 3 · focus 7

Reading & learning

pages read 32 · book started · book finished
study 90 (minutes) · flashcards 50

Work & productivity

deep work 2.5 · tasks done 7 · meetings 4

Every line above becomes a separate Collection the first time you log it. From then on, that Collection appears in the search dropdown — one tap to log again.

Creating a new Collection from chat

If your query doesn't match any existing Collection, the empty state offers:

Create new collection called "push-ups"

Tap Create new collection to make a Collection and log your first entry in one go. Kaizendex picks sensible defaults — usually one numeric Property — which you can rename or extend later in Collections.

Defaults that just work

When a Collection has a default value on its main Property, one-tap logging fills it in for you. So you can configure "coffee" to log a default of 1 cup, then just tap coffee in the search and it writes the entry — no number needed.

Ask the AI to do more than log

The search bar isn't only for logging — it's a full AI assistant for your tracking setup. Type a plain-language request and it just does it:

Build as you log — “log my idea: a tally-counter widget, and make an Ideas type for it” creates the Collection and the entry together.
Organize — “file this under Projects”, “make a Fitness folder”, “rename that folder to Health”.
Set things up — “set up a workout routine with push-ups, squats and a plank” builds the Collection and its sub-entries.
Log naturally — “I spent 3 hours working on my website” finds or creates the right tracker, then logs it.

Most requests happen silently — you’ll see the new entries, folders or Collections appear, not a chat reply.

Choose who handles your log

The avatar to the left of the search bar is your log agent — the AI persona that interprets what you type. Tap it to switch between your agents (the Navy Seal, Coach Jack, or any persona you've made). Your choice is remembered and used for every future log, on all your devices.

What the feed shows

Each entry appears as an ActivityCard with:

the Collection's emoji and name
every Property value
the timestamp
a menu for Open (full detail), Edit, Delete

When an entry owns Sub-entries (e.g. a dish with its ingredients), its child entries render nested inside the one card.

Quick-log — re-logging recent Collections in one tap
Sub-entries — log several things together as the parts of one entry
Keyboard shortcuts — drive logging and the editor without the mouse
