Hi HN,<p>My name is Kam, and today we’re excited to launch an AI accountability buddy that helps keep you in check and holds you accountable. We originally launched Karl (<a href="https://www.heykarl.xyz/" rel="nofollow">https://www.heykarl.xyz/</a>) as an AI companion but realized the use case was too broad. After talking to some users and collecting feedback, we decided to explore the direction of using Karl as an accountability buddy.<p>Prior to building Karl, one of my friends and I were manually checking in with ourselves daily to ensure we accomplished one goal we had discussed. Although it didn’t help me accomplish all of my goals, I noticed that there were times when, without the check-in, I wouldn’t have taken action. Our goal with Karl is to provide that nudge and reminder to keep you focused on your goals.<p>Currently, you can text Karl, and he will check in with you every morning at 8 a.m. and evening at 8 p.m. in your time zone. We charge $10 a month for Karl to cover server costs and the use of GPT on the backend.<p>We track how often you accomplish your goals and provide weekly feedback on your performance.<p>In the long term, we want to experiment with the best times to keep you on task and identify patterns that make you most productive based on your unique personality traits.<p>Let us know what you’d like to see from Karl! We’d really appreciate your feedback. You can get started by texting Karl at +1 (844) 619-7958.
