AI Sparks
The Illuminate pillar of SparkUI. AI-powered annotations that surface connections across 22 wisdom traditions — on journal entries, classical texts, and glossary terms. The AI guides. You do the writing.
"AI guides, never ghostwrites."
AI Sparks are nudges for self-inquiry — they prompt reflection and surface connections the practitioner might not have seen. The writing, the insight, the practice — that always belongs to you.
AI Sparks is a family of annotation features that appear across hyp.yoga in three distinct contexts: on your journal entries, on the classical texts themselves, and on glossary terms. Each context surfaces a different kind of connection—to your own growth, to the yoga tradition, and to the broader wisdom corpus. Sparks are collaborative: you write, the AI illuminates, and together you explore deeper.
Journal AI Sparks
TeacherWhen you write a reflection, AI Sparks illuminate five types of meaningful connections within your entry. Each annotation invites deeper self-inquiry without telling you what to think—you remain the author of your practice story.
Annotations are always optional. You can toggle them on and off, save them to your profile for reflection, and export them alongside your entries. Use TapasAI for multi-turn conversation about your sparks—your journal companion reads your annotations and helps you follow the threads deeper.
Text AI Sparks
TeacherIlluminate the classical texts themselves. When studying a verse or sūtra, AI Sparks appear as small typed chips anchored to specific phrases in the translation — each voiced by the AI Companion whose temperament fits the moment. SwamiGPT pauses for the commentarial insight; SwamiGPT again points across the canon with a textual connection; DharmaGPT asks the question only this verse can ask; TapasAI, when your journal has enough ground to stand on, reflects the pattern back as it appears in your own writing.

Link AI Sparks
TeacherLink AI Sparks connect the dots between your journal insights and the classical texts. When you've saved Journal AI Sparks on your reflections, Link AI Sparks finds the threads — weaving your personal annotations into the verses, sūtras, and glossary terms where they resonate most deeply.
