Meet Albert. Your AI coach for mental strength.

Stoic coaching in Telegram, powered by your journal and your wearable. Albert reads your sleep, your HRV and your words, and says something when they don't add up.

  • Telegram only, for now
  • Fitbit + Pixel Watch
  • Garmin coming soon
HRV last night 7-day avg hmm.

Treat your mind like a system worth tuning.

Stoic philosophy is the operating manual, your data is the feedback loop, and Albert is the engineer on call.

01 · How it works

Two check-ins a day. Zero fluff.

Albert messages you on a fixed rhythm. Tap to answer, type, or send a voice note. Skip a day and he won't sulk.

07:30

Morning prep

Last night's recovery first. Then three questions:

  1. What will challenge you today?
  2. How would your ideal self respond?
  3. What's actually in your control?
Anytime

Journal anytime

Type it or send a voice note. Albert replies straight away, grounded in a specific principle. Not a horoscope.

20:30

Evening review

Wins, lessons, and one adjustment for tomorrow. Seneca called it the evening audit. Albert calls it 20:30.

02 · The bit nobody else does

When body and mind disagree, Albert speaks up.

Every morning he weighs your recovery against your own 7-day average, then against your mood and journal. If they agree, he leaves you alone. If they don't, you'll hear about it.

body = HRV · sleep · resting heart rate mind = your mood score + journal

Body ready, mind rough: Rattled but Ready

You feel rough. Your recovery says you're fine. Your body has more in the tank than your head thinks.

Push. Get moving.

Body ready, mind good: Sweet Spot

Rested and feeling good. Albert has nothing to add, so he doesn't add it.

… stays quiet

Body low, mind rough: System Drain

Recovery down, mood down. Not a day for heroics. Today, less is the plan.

Pull the brake.

Body low, mind good: Running on Fumes

You feel great. Your HRV and sleep disagree. Albert would like a word.

Protect your rest.

Albert is a coach, not a doctor. Nudges are prompts to reflect, not diagnoses.

03 · The operating manual

Built on 2,000 years of field testing.

Stoic exercises from Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. Japanese ideas like ikigai and kodawari. A little neuroscience, used sparingly. Old code, still compiles.

  • Dichotomy of control
  • Anticipation
  • Your ideal self
  • The evening audit
  • Ikigai
  • Kodawari
  • Amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex

Three modules

Tag an entry with a module and Albert coaches from it.

  • Happiness
  • Creativity
  • Emotions

04 · Weekly review

Every Sunday Albert looks back at your week: which states came up, which coaching landed, and which principles you've quietly been avoiding.
