    Create guided practices around personal goals: details

    I am – Daily Affirmations

    Situation-based affirmation text

    A personal concern can inform saved AI affirmations; this does not produce goal-based guided audio.

    Supporting sources:

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Mesmerize

    No listed support

    Mesmerize's presets, visual-breathing and guided-content descriptions do not list this capability. This is our assessment of the reviewed documentation, not an explicit vendor denial.

    Supporting sources:

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Smiling Mind

    Routine from existing sessions

    Build a custom mental-fitness plan by combining existing sessions chosen for a goal or need; this does not generate a new narrated practice.

    Supporting sources:

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Waking Up

    No listed support

    Waking Up: Its documented offering consists of recorded teaching, configurable listening, playlists, and a meditation timer. The assessment concerns this specific control, rather than general access to wellness content.
