Ah, I really wanted to give it a try!
Unfortunately, it is not available for iPad nor Android ye :/
However, will keep it in mind when you decide to publish it on other platforms as well!
So far thx for sharing with the PH community!
@markus_schuette yup haha working most of the time with my iPad Pro for digital work (graphic design,journaling and planning)
My bag were never that light 😄 .
However I agree with you most ppl just use it for media consumption (me included)

@_maxdeutsch very nice. I just listened to Matt Cutts on Ted Radio Hour. He allows himself the opportunity to explore new things in depth for 30 days. He thinks of something he always wanted to do in his life. Then he does it. It was an invite to do things he never dreamed of. I listened to the podcast thinking, it would be nice if you had someone to encourage you along the way. Thanks for providing a solution. I will have to check it out.
Hi Max, no offense, I love your idea, technology behind it BUT I deleted the app once I reached the step where I had to pick something/someone to hold me accountable. I don't want to involve my social media with this but I'd like to involve a friend. But since I don't have any friends using the app, I couldn't pick this option either. What about inviting a friend to the app via email/sms?
@baidoct Hey Tudor. Thanks for writing. There is an option to invite a friend to the app over SMS. I believe it's the first option. Let me know if this is what you had in mind. Thanks

@baidoct making this invite option effortless would be a great growth tactic. I definitely would download an app in order to help a friend to reach his goal.
@keyul Thanks, Keyul. Right now, I'm focused on the stand-alone app. It gives me more control to introduce custom, non-chat-based features in future versions.

Max, I've been totally hoping someone would eventually develop an app like this. I've read books such as Daniel Coyne's "The Talent Code," and his follow-up, "The Little Book of Talent. Most recently, I've read Andre Agassi's "Open." Andre's Dad was his Coach. My main focus outside focusing on my businesses? Learning to play the piano. I started about 4 1/2 years ago. I don't read music. I memorize everything. I KNOW I don't practice enough and I hope this app will kick my butt more into gear.
So, I've got a question here: Is your app able to motivate on more than area? For example, if I want to learn a specific song on the piano along with something else such as doing 20 consecutive pull-ups?
Btw. I just donated.
@hrv50 Hey Tracy! Thanks for the thoughtful message and for donating! It's really appreciated.
Right now, the app only supports one "learning challenge" at a time. As someone who likes to try a lot of different things at once, this constraint isn't always easy for me, but it's really important. It's hard to make the appropriate tradeoff decisions when you have multiple simultaneous measures of success.
I've found that having one 'primary focus' is almost always the way to go.

@_maxdeutsch I kinda figured that was the case when I look at your own track record of monthly exploits. I can well see that having multiple obsessions will dilute your focus. Thx!
Looks like an interesting project Max - am I right in saying this is primarily intelligent reminders and I still have to go find tutorials on topics myself?
Can you discuss a bit more about where the AI comes into play, as it seems like a reminder with a chat bot interface?
@adamscochran Hey Adam, you're correct -- For this first version, the app is largely focused on creating structure/accountability, and intelligent reminders. In future versions, I do plan for the app to curate the best learning materials/content directly into the conversation (for the most popular topics).
As for the AI, it's largely "artificial" right now -- mostly deterministic. Most of the current intelligence is knowing which 'script' to serve up and when. There are more interesting AI use cases coming up though in v2!

Love the idea & excited to try it out. First impression is that I found the animations made me uncomfortable - perhaps the animations are TOO fast? I'd recommend looking at the Quartz app for some inspiration on some appropriately timed conversational animations. Their app feels comfortable to interact with. Best of luck!
