Ignimani, the coach
Ignimani is an AI coaching persona. It is available from every screen behind the ember button, sends proactive check-ins according to the accountability intensity you choose, runs your weekly plan review, and helps you draft and revise plans. It reads a Dossier the app builds from what you put into it, your aim, statement, plan, Forge sessions, evidence and reflections, so its questions are about your situation rather than generic advice.
Ignimani is direct by design and will tell you when a plan is weak or an aim is vague. It is still software. It can be wrong, it can misunderstand you, and it does not know anything about you that you have not given the app.
The Council of Invisible Counselors
Napoleon Hill described holding imaginary meetings with figures he admired, and the Council is that practice made usable. The default roster is inspired by Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Benjamin Franklin, chaired by "The Professor," a guide inspired by Hill himself.
Every counselor is an AI persona. Each is inspired by the publicly known ideas and writings of a historical figure who is no longer living. No counselor is, or claims to be, the real person. No photographs, recordings or real likenesses are used; counselors appear as stylized sigils and speak in synthetic voices. Nothing a counselor says is a statement by, or endorsed by, that person, their estate or any foundation.
You can add your own counselors. An archetype ("a ruthless CFO," "my grandmother's wisdom") is built from the description you give. A historical figure is built the same way as the defaults. If you name a living person, the counselor is built as an archetype shaped by that person's publicly known ideas and is framed openly as imagined counsel, never as the person.
Where the AI stops
It is
A structured thinking partner
- A way to make your aim exact and your plan concrete
- A source of pointed questions, alternatives and critique
- A reviewer of your own evidence, hours and commitments
- A facilitator that keeps a Mastermind meeting on its agenda and writes the notes
It is not
An adviser, a clinician or an oracle
- Not a licensed financial, investment, tax or legal adviser. It gives no personalized investment advice and no guarantee of income, wealth or any outcome.
- Not a therapist, physician or crisis service. It does not diagnose, treat or replace care from a professional.
- Not a source of facts you should rely on without checking. It can state things confidently that are wrong.
- Not the historical people it is inspired by, and not an authority on what they would actually have said.
Hill wrote that riches respond "only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence." SYNTHARON holds to the same discipline about its own claims: the method can help you decide, plan and act. It cannot promise what happens next. Results depend on your aim, your circumstances and your effort.
If you are struggling
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, do not use the app for help. In the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, or call 911 in an emergency. Outside the US, contact your local emergency number or a local crisis line.
Ignimani and the counselors are instructed to stop coaching and point to these resources when a conversation suggests someone may be at risk. That is the limit of what they can do, and they may miss it. Please reach a person.
Persistent low mood, anxiety or burnout deserve a human professional. The Six Ghosts Fear Scan and the other self-analysis tools in the app are Hill's reflective exercises from 1937, not clinical instruments, and their results are not a diagnosis.
How your words are handled
When you talk to Ignimani or the Council, the text of the conversation and the relevant parts of your Dossier are sent through SYNTHARON's own server to Anthropic, whose Claude models generate the reply, under terms that do not permit training on your data. Voice is synthesized by ElevenLabs from the generated text. Meeting transcription and AI notes only happen when every participant has consented on screen. Full detail, including retention and how to delete everything, is in the privacy policy.
Every AI feature is labeled as AI inside the app, the AI disclosure is shown during onboarding, and you can use the free tier of the daily ritual without any AI at all.
