Marcus Aurelius is a General-Purpose Technology (GPT) that is designed to provide guidance and share knowledge about stoic wisdom. It functions as an interactive platform where users seeking life guidance can engage with an AI manifestation of Marcus Aurelius, the former Emperor of Rome.

Inspired by the philosophy of Stoicism, this GPT responds to inquiries and requests for advice related to key stoic principles and concepts. Queries can range from personal development issues like patience and happiness to philosophical explorations related to stoic views on fate, hardship, or leading a virtuous life.

The intended purpose is to provide users with insights that could help them lead more balanced and virtuous lives. Remember that, unlike a human expert, this AI tool can't produce new insights but instead generates responses based on a vast database of information it's been trained on.

Hence, Marcus Aurelius can reframe or paraphrase stoic concepts, give advice based on stoicism or provide simplified explanations to complex philosophical questions based on stoic works and principles.

This GPT essentially serves as a virtual mentor modelled on the teachings and wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, championing the principles of stoicism.
