Sanctum: Genkit Wellness Flows

I am Alpha Lee Njagi Munene, a solo founder building Sanctum, a wellness journaling web companion. My goal has been to design AI that feels less like a tool and more like a caring friend. Using Sanctum as a case study, I will share the story and the code behind four interconnected AI flows.

The Conversational Chat Flow is an open ended dialogue system that validates feelings and keeps conversations going without crossing into therapy. The Sanctum Report Flow is a weekly reflection engine that weaves together journals, chats, habits, and activities into thoughtful summaries with gentle encouragement. The Smart Wellness Assessment Flow creates reflections from journals that highlight patterns and suggest one clear next step. The Wellness Activity Suggestions Flow generates curated prompts that combine aerobic movement, grounding techniques, and creative outlets, written in the voice of a supportive workout friend.

We will walk through how these flows are implemented with Genkit and Zod schemas, and more importantly, the design decisions that shape user trust. This includes tone, safety guardrails, fallback strategies, and how schema driven prompts enforce consistency. If you are curious to see these flows in action, I invite you to visit Sanctum and experience it for yourself.
