Mywalnut is an AI‑driven platform that helps late‑diagnosed autistic adults, as well as those with ADHD or dyslexia, articulate and organize their personal strengths and challenges. Users converse with Jove, a conversational AI, to surface recurring patterns from texts or journal entries, then confirm and store these insights in a shareable, living “Manual.” The tool turns vague self‑observations into a structured self‑understanding document that can be used for personal growth and better communication with others.

Problem
Neurodivergent adults, especially those diagnosed later in life with autism, ADHD, or dyslexia, often struggle to articulate their cognitive patterns, strengths, and challenges. This makes self‑understanding difficult and hampers clear communication with others, leading to repeated conflicts and unrecognized friction.
Solution
Mywalnut offers a conversational AI platform that helps users translate personal experiences into a structured, shareable Manual. Users upload text excerpts or journal entries, and the AI partner, Jove, conducts a dialogue—asking questions, reflecting language, and highlighting recurring patterns without providing diagnoses. When a suggested insight resonates, the user confirms it, and the insight is added to the Manual. Over time the Manual becomes a living document that details how the user connects, works, manages daily systems, processes sensory input, and leverages strengths, providing both self‑clarity and a tool to help others understand the user’s neurodivergent profile.
Target Audience
Primary users are late‑diagnosed autistic adults and neurodivergent individuals with overlapping ADHD or dyslexia who seek a structured way to understand and convey their cognitive patterns.
Features
- Conversational AI (Jove) that engages in open‑ended dialogue rather than static questionnaires
- Pattern detection that analyzes user‑provided text to surface hidden strengths and friction points
- User‑controlled validation: insights are only added after explicit confirmation
- Living Manual that organizes insights into five thematic sections (connection, work, daily systems, sensory processing, deep work)
- Shareable, permission‑based Manual page allowing users to communicate their profile to chosen individuals
- Built‑in guardrails that limit diagnostic claims and direct users to professional help when needed
