Discover with us how we built Dream Story, an AI-powered journaling application that helps manage daily notes by capturing your thoughts and emotions. A one-stop solution for those who love noting down daily summaries!
How Client Revolutionized the Way of Manual Diary Notes to AI-Powered Reflections!
So, the client approached SolGuruz and discussed how he wanted to build a self-reflection application that is backed by AI, making it one of the most trending journaling applications. The basic idea was to help users consistently jot down thoughts, notes, and daily reflections in a systematic manner with the help of AI.
The Problem
The major issue was the lack of "intelligence assistance". Yes, you are right. The client used all the journaling apps and realized that they lack intelligent assistance, which makes writing self-notes a challenge for many. Not only that, there are many people who want to track their daily goals systematically but are not good at writing them, for which an AI-journalizing application could be the rescue.
The Goal
The defined goal was to build an AI companion for those who want to track down their daily notes and reflections with exclusive formatting. Adding to it, the client also wanted journaling to become a consistent habit, tracking their journey over time. Hence, we came up with a text-to-speech feature where the client does’t even need to pen down their daily thoughts; it is the AI doing the heavy lifting!

UI/UX Design
From initial concept to launch, our team delivered a smooth and intuitive solution that helps users capture thoughts, organize ideas, and build a consistent daily journaling habit.

We worked closely with our client to bring the Dream Story app to life. Our primary role was to refine the idea of building an intuitive, AI-powered journaling platform. At SolGuruz, we handled everything from product strategy and UI/UX design to full-stack development and cloud deployment. We focused on delivering a seamless user experience and smart journaling features to support daily reflection, habit-building, and personal productivity.

While the 5 Minute Journal app may offer community and social features, such as sharing entries or participating in challenges, the level of interaction and engagement with other users may be limited compared to dedicated social media platforms.

Company Disadvantage
Limited Support for Multiple Users:
Daylio is primarily designed for individual use and may not offer robust support for multiple users or collaborative journaling. Users seeking to share a journaling experience with family or friends may find Daylio’s features lacking in this regard.

To-Do List
There are various aspects of security taken care of. They include Network security, Data security, Cloud Security, Application Security, and Endpoint security.
Encrypted the data both in transit and at rest by using methods like full disk encryption and Encrypted web connection(HTTP protocol with SSL certificate.
oAUTH2.0 helps prevent maliious attacks orchestrated by unauthorized users and makes sure that system is accessed by only authorized and authenticated users.
Configured Firewalls on AWS instances and databases to allow limited access.
Implemented Source code obfuscation practices to make the source-code in unreadable format, and so it would be difficult to temper or reverse engineer the released app’s executable file.
Configured cloud instances to take backup at regular intervals and so a particular version can be rolled back when required automatically.
