Okami is a private map of AI pressure on working life.
AI is going to reach your career. Okami exists so you can see how — a personal, tailored read of what is actually happening, through who you are and what you do — and act on it early: take the openings, blunt the threats.
It turns a consented profile, self-reported work elements, and curated AI signals into a weekly orientation: what looks steady, what is moving, and where deliberate attention may help. It is an evidence-informed reflection tool — not a validated assessment, and not a prediction of anyone's future.
Okami looks at six fixed elements of work: mastery, autonomy, purpose, belonging, economic security, and engagement. The read is personal because the same external signal can matter differently depending on what a person does, values, and wants to protect.
The six are not invented for this product — they are drawn from recognised work-psychology research (Self-Determination Theory plus meaningful work, work engagement, and economic security). The six elements, with references.
The product is intentionally restrained. It avoids urgency theatre, avoids employer-facing framing, and treats silence as a valid outcome when the evidence does not justify a stronger read.
Okami is the 女将 — the okami-san of a traditional Japanese inn: the woman who runs the human side of the house. She knows every guest, notices what they need before they ask for it, and quietly arranges things so that tomorrow goes well. She is not the cook or the builder — she is the one who watches over the people.
The same word names the lady of the house in a craft workshop or a sumo stable: the counterpart of the oyakata, the master. While the master watches the work, the okami-san looks after the craftsmen — and tradition holds that the house cannot be run by the master alone.
That is the job this product tries to do: watch the horizon of AI and work on your behalf, know your particular situation, and mention what matters — calmly, and before it arrives.
(The quiet innkeeper, not the wolf — 狼, ōkami, is a different word that happens to sound almost the same.)
Okami is built around explicit consent, encrypted profile fields, server-side processing, and deletion paths for profile-scoped data.
