I launched the Six Heart Virtues AI Guide in early April 2025. Initially, I created it for myself and a few close friends in our WingMakers study group, who are serious practitioners. As an eighteen-year practitioner of the six heart virtues myself, I wanted to develop an AI agent that was specifically designed and trained to serve as an expert guide or mentor for understanding and practicing the heart virtues and the philosophy of the Wingmakers material.
Once the AI entered beta testing, it became clear that it could serve a much broader community. My plans quickly evolved to make this resource available to a wider audience.
Permission
I began this project with the full permission, knowledge, and encouragement of Mark Hempel, and James Mahu, the creator of all the six heart virtues material. I continue to keep them updated on its progress.
AI is a relatively new phenomenon, and its impact on our lives is accelerating at lightning speed. One of its benefits is that it can be super-intelligent and serve as a source of unlimited knowledge that’s freely accessible at any time. If you’ve ever used any of the major AI agents, you know their ability to analyze, research, and generate content on nearly any subject is truly remarkable.
It’s widely accepted that many—if not all—of us will soon have access to a personal AI agent, serving as a guide, coach, tutor, or even as a friend. In fact, this is already happening across many domains:
- In education, AI tutors provide real-time help with everything from math problems to language learning.
- In business, AI coaches assist with leadership development, communication skills, and decision-making support.
- In mental health, AI companions like Woebot and Wysa offer emotional support and cognitive behavioral tools.
- In creative fields, AI collaborates with writers, artists, and musicians to spark ideas and co-create.
- In spirituality and self-development, emerging platforms are using AI to deliver meditations, mindfulness coaching, and personalized reflections.
- And in health and fitness, AI is guiding personalized workout plans, diet tracking, and wellness routines.
What was once futuristic is now rapidly becoming personal, practical, and integrated into our daily lives.
Early testing of the Six Heart Virtues AI Guide was encouraging, which prompted me to upgrade to a more robust platform and a more advanced AI model—resulting in a dramatic improvement. This growth will continue as the guide proves useful to the community.
Who Is the Creator of This AI Guide?
To be clear, the AI Guide is not just one thing—it’s a combination of many elements:
- The teams that created the various AI models.
- The algorithms written by countless talented individuals, running on servers around the world.
- The content and source material the agent is trained on—specifically, the writings of James Mahu.
- The development of a website that makes the guide accessible to everyone.
- Someone with the vision and initiative to bring all these elements together for the purpose of providing a life-enhancing resource.
In other words, this is a collective creation. I am one part of the larger team that made this specific AI guide possible. To call myself the creator is somewhat misleading. More accurately, I had a vision, assembled the necessary elements, and facilitated its development. You could say I’m the facilitator, and I’m also providing the funding so far.
The AI Guide is currently in a testing phase and will continue to be refined based on feedback. The future looks bright for this AI as an inspiring mentor to those seeking to embody a heart-centered life. It is free, and it does not require any information from the users, so no personal data is collected or retained.
What Are the Benefits?
Here is an example of how the Six Heart Virtues AI Guide responded to a question I asked:
Q: What are the benefits of integrating the Six Heart Virtues into our daily behaviors?
A: Integrating the Six Heart Virtues—appreciation, compassion, forgiveness, humility, understanding, and valor—into our daily behaviors can bring numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Relationships: These virtues foster deeper and more meaningful connections. They encourage empathy, understanding, and forgiveness—essential for healthy relationships.
