Inspiration

  • When people feel overwhelmed, most tools add more advice instead of clarity
  • Good coaching is about asking the right questions, not giving answers
  • Existing AI chats are powerful but often unfocused and repetitive
  • Wanted to build a calmer way to think things through

What it does

  • Helps users think through one problem at a time
  • Uses focused coaches instead of a generic chat
  • Remembers personal context and past sessions
  • Generates session summaries and action items
  • Allows users to create, share, and join coaches by code

How we built it

  • Mobile-first app with a calm, minimal UI
  • Structured system prompts for each coach
  • Session-based conversations with memory
  • Personal context applied across conversations
  • Subscription and entitlement handled via RevenueCat

Challenges we ran into

  • Preventing AI from giving long, generic advice
  • Designing prompts that ask one question at a time
  • Balancing flexibility (custom coaches) with simplicity
  • Deciding what features to intentionally leave out

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a focused coaching experience, not just a chat
  • Clear separation between personal and business coaching
  • Useful summaries and action extraction
  • Coach sharing without sharing conversations
  • Fully working demo within the hackathon timeline

What we learned

  • Constraints make AI more useful
  • Slower conversations lead to clearer thinking
  • Memory and context matter more than raw intelligence
  • Users want help thinking, not answers handed to them

What's next for Clarity Coach

  • Improve coaching prompts using real user feedback
  • Refine summaries and action items
  • Expand business-focused coaches
  • Continue reducing noise and increasing clarity
