How Wejnan Helps People Understand Relationships — and Plan Better Experiences Together

This is a discussion on the value of the Wejnan app. It continues from our previous discussion on the origin and inspiration behind the app.

Malay: There were a lot of innovative things that went into this app. Why? Because it's not easy to understand people behavior, right? It's not easy to understand relationships. So how could you uncover someone's preferences and nature better than they could understand themselves? And how could you uncover how well you're going to be able to stay with them? And if you could figure that out, it would completely transform which relations we choose to go in and how we worked with relations we are already in.

And thankfully, we now live in an age of AI. And even more thankfully, we have eons of data and information that AI could learn from and leverage. And that is what brought us here.

Pooja: We tried it on ourselves, and it has helped our communication massively. 

Malay: Absolutely. So how does that help us? Well, on one side now, if I wish to go out on a jungle hike in the night time, in complete darkness, looking for spiders and snakes - all the wonderful things - my wife accompanies me to make sure I'm alive. But in return, I know what she needs to unwind from it all, and at what point I should limit that excursion so that she doesn't get spooked too much. 

Pooja: And also the way to communicate it with you. 

Malay: Which is so important.

Pooja: Now, the reason why I keep bringing up the communication point is because you see in the app, when you use it, there are guidance that's given to communicate or, you know, manage your relationship. So I'll give you an example. For instance, if, let's say you're having difficulty with someone - your partner, your family member, your colleague, anyone - communicating certain aspects of your life, there could be instances in the app where you would have guidance such as: “lead your statements or conversations with a certain line so that the partner or person you're speaking to calms down.” Their nervous system will settle down and not feel defensive. And thus that conversation is handled a little bit more peacefully. 

And that's just one of the advices that you can find. There are various other advices in there as well. 

Malay: Absolutely. In fact, what I find fascinating is that in the app, it also helps you understand how much your partner is already doing for you, how much they are already stepping out of comfort zones in areas where it may be the most natural thing for you - it comes to you effortlessly - but your partner needs a mountain to climb. And that brings in a deep, deep appreciation in any relationship because it allows you to step into their shoes. 

Pooja: Absolutely. And there are parts of life where you understand… Well, you know, I would rather say we often miss out on seeing the fact that our partner is actually doing these little things which make such a big difference, but they just get masked in day to day life. And the app helps you understand their way of doing things.

So, for instance, maybe your partner or your friend or colleague's way of showing support could be, I don't know, maybe getting you a morning coffee at your table. And that's their way of saying, “hey, I've got your back.” 

And that brings us to the other benefit you can get from the app. The app can guide you on the kind of activities you and your partner could enjoy together, allowing you to plan the perfect day out, vacation, any birthday party, anything, right? And we used the app to plan this trip, and I think it worked out wonderfully for us. 

Malay: Now, when we were swimming with sea lions, I remember that that's another place where, you know, you wanted to keep with the group, whereas I wanted to not worry so much about staying with the group, but do the watching. But then we would come back and you would chill in the Jacuzzi on the top deck with your wine whereas, you know, that's not something that I would be more keen on. But that's it. As an experience, we ended up having both components, ensuring that in the same day, we both got to have that moment that we were looking for, which was somewhat of a me-time in our own way.
