Functional AF: No BS Mental Help App

I'm launching Functional AF - an AI life coach for burned-out professionals who are tired of:

  • Wellness apps that patronize you with "good vibes only"

  • Productivity tools that guilt you into hustle culture

  • Therapy that costs $200/session

I wanted a middle ground, so I built it: honest AI coaching that treats you like an adult, remembers your context, and celebrates showing up even when it's hard. Like that snarky friend who tells you like it is.

 

How does the AI work?

It uses Claude (Anthropic's API) to analyze your brain dumps, identify patterns, break down tasks, and provide contextual support. It remembers what you've shared and gets smarter about your patterns over time.

What's Savage Mode?

It's optional tough-love coaching. Think: your friend who calls you out when you're spiraling. We built burnout detection so it won't activate when you're actually struggling only when you're procrastinating or making excuses.
