MyRise Coach – AI-powered growth platform with 8 proven methodologies

Hi HN! I'm iaiuse, and I've been working on MyRise Coach for the past few months. It's an AI-powered personal growth platform that combines 8 proven methodologies (resilience, cognitive reframing, self-determination theory, etc.) with GPT-4o to provide personalized coaching. *The problem I'm solving:* Most personal development advice is generic. Traditional coaching is expensive ($200+/hour). I wanted to make expert-level guidance accessible through AI, while grounding it in research-backed frameworks. *What makes it different:* - Based on 8 psychological principles (from positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, etc.) - AI analyzes your reflections against these frameworks and provides specific, actionable advice - 12-week growth cycles with progress tracking - Assessment system that measures improvement across 8 dimensions *Tech stack:* - Next.js 14 + TypeScript - Supabase for auth and database - OpenAI GPT-4o-mini (cost-optimized) - Creem for subscriptions - Deployed on Vercel *Interesting technical challenges:* 1. Designing prompts that combine multiple psychological frameworks coherently 2. Building a subscription system that gracefully handles webhook delays 3. Creating a growth assessment algorithm that maps user inputs to 8 dimensions *Current status:* - MVP is live at https://myrisecoach.com - Free tier: 1 assessment + 3 AI conversations/day - Paid: $29.9/month or $299/year *What I'm looking for:* - Feedback on the AI coaching quality (is it actually helpful?) - Ideas on how to better visualize growth progress - Thoughts on the pricing model - Any suggestions to make it more valuable I'm here to answer questions! Would love to hear what you think. Try it out: https://myrisecoach.com
