What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A toggle setting in the app to completely disable all AI-driven chatbot interactions.
  2. A 'human-only' mode that filters out all AI-generated content or support features.
  3. A community-driven directory of meditation apps that explicitly commit to zero AI usage in their guidance.
  4. A platform directory that verifies and highlights meditation apps that are human-led and free of AI-generated therapy features.
  5. A browser extension that flags apps that have recently shifted their business model toward AI-driven health services.
