What Mirror Is

Mirror is an AI-powered identity exploration tool created by Eric Wu. It guides users through a structured conversation and generates a personal identity portrait. Mirror is provided for personal, non-commercial self-reflection purposes.

Use of the Service

Mirror is designed to stay focused on personal identity exploration. It will redirect conversations that stray into unrelated topics. Use of Mirror to generate harmful, abusive, or deceptive content is prohibited.

What Data Is Processed

Mirror does not store your conversation on any server controlled by Eric Wu. Your conversation exists in your browser session only. However, to function, Mirror sends your data to the following third-party services:

  • Anthropic — receives your conversation text to generate AI responses and your portrait. Subject to Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
  • Cloudflare — hosts the Mirror application and processes all web traffic. Subject to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
  • OpenAI (voice mode only) — receives audio recordings for speech-to-text transcription via Whisper. Subject to OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

Eric Wu does not receive the content of your conversation. Payment records (amount, date) may be retained by Stripe for tax and legal purposes.

Access code usage — Access codes control entry to Mirror. Eric Wu may maintain a separate administrative log of which codes have been distributed, to whom, and the code type — for the purpose of managing access and preventing abuse. This log records only the code, type, and distribution details. It is not connected to your conversation content and is not shared with third parties.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. Mirror does not sell personal information.

Because Mirror does not store conversation data, deletion requests for conversation content should be directed to the applicable third-party processors listed above. For any other privacy requests, contact novawu2050@gmail.com.

If you believe your email address or name was recorded in an administrative access log and you wish to request deletion, contact novawu2050@gmail.com.

About

Mirror

A guided conversation that becomes a portrait of who you are.

What Mirror is

Mirror is a guided conversation about identity. You talk. Mirror listens, reflects, and asks one focused question at a time. At the end, Mirror synthesizes everything you've shared into a detailed written portrait — a structured, thoughtful document that reflects what you said back to you in a form you can keep.

It's not therapy. It's not coaching. It's a mirror — in the oldest sense of the word. A space to see yourself clearly.

The philosophy behind it

Know thyself. The instruction is ancient, and the difficulty is just as old. Most of us carry a rough sense of who we are — shaped by habit, circumstance, and what other people have reflected back at us. What we rarely have is a quiet, structured opportunity to examine it.

Mirror was built on the belief that the right questions, asked in the right sequence, can surface things you already know but haven't yet articulated. The portrait isn't a diagnosis. It's a starting point — a document you can return to, argue with, refine.

How it works

Mirror runs on Claude, Anthropic's AI model, accessed through a direct API connection. Your conversation is used only to generate your portrait — it is not stored, shared, or used for training. Voice mode adds OpenAI's Whisper for transcription and ElevenLabs for spoken responses. Payments, if any, are handled by Stripe.

Mirror guides you through a structured conversation, then synthesizes what you shared into a detailed written portrait. The conversation adapts to you — following threads that matter, going deeper where it counts. Set aside 20–40 minutes for an uninterrupted session.

Who made it

Mirror was built by Eric Wu — sourcing professional, appellate advocacy professor, convention organizer, ultramarathoner, and lifelong student of Chinese philosophy and tea culture. He built Mirror as a personal project, rooted in a longstanding interest in identity, self-knowledge, and the intersection of technology and human meaning-making.
