AI-Powered Facilitation Tools

As part of a coaching business and for my own personal interest, I wanted to make a couple of my facilitation tools through my website rather than having to go through Claude. The two tools I choose for this test are:

• An AI conversation that facilitates people in “active imagination”, a technique developed by Carl Jung to encourage people to investigate the symbolic nature of their inner worlds.
• The second one, is a self-inquiry process based on the Sedona Method goals process, that aims to relieve stuckness when dealing with a problem that you’ve tried to fix for a long time.

Both run in the browser, powered by the Anthropic Claude API through a Node.js/Express proxy. Users bring their own API key; it stays in their browser session.

Stack: Node.js, Express, Git, GitHub, Vercel.

Live at:

• analogue-tools.vercel.app/active-imagination-v2.html
• analogue-tools.vercel.app/the-problem-v2.html

Updating the tools: changes are made locally, pushed to GitHub with three commands, and Vercel redeploys automatically. Next: rebuilding the second tool around the Sedona Method Goals process and moving both onto the main Analogue Project site.

To use these tools you need an Anthropic API key. Create a free account at console.anthropic.com, add billing, and generate a key under API Keys. The key starts with sk-ant-. Paste it into the tool when prompted — it is not stored anywhere.
