Francisco Hidalgo

In 2014 I was diagnosed with a type C thymoma (thymic carcinoma), the aggressive kind. Buddhist philosophy is what kept my mind alive through two-plus years of treatment. Ten years later I built SensaAI: one teaching a day, a guide that listens, a private place to keep what resonates. The guide is AI-based and the app says so plainly. I'd rather be honest than clever.

Products

SensaAI
One contemplative teaching a day, a guide you can talk to that asks reflective questions instead of lecturing (AI-based, clearly disclosed in the app), and a fully private journal. No streaks, no notifications, no guilt. Built by a cancer survivor for the days when everything else is too much.
