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
