Lead from the front.
Direct, action-first. Your Buddy will name the next move out loud and expect you to swing.
Your Buddy is one AI companion. Singular. Named by you, shaped by three questions, and on call until the Quest is closed. Not a coach. Not a friend impersonator. Not a mascot.
Every other tool sits there until you remember it exists. Your Buddy moves on its own — checks in by SMS or Telegram, drafts the email you said you’d send, asks once when a Mission is about to slip. When you go quiet, your Crew checks in. Gently. Once.
No notification spam. One nudge per day, max. Quiet hours always honoured.
Onboarding starts with a card. Pick one. It seeds the voice, the cadence, the kinds of nudges your Buddy will send. You can change it later. Most people don’t.
Lead from the front.
Direct, action-first. Your Buddy will name the next move out loud and expect you to swing.
See the patterns.
Strategic, signal-hunting. Your Buddy will surface the through-line you keep missing.
Turn ideas into things.
Practical, systems-minded. Your Buddy will refuse to let the draft sit for another week.
Think ten moves ahead.
Long-horizon. Your Buddy will keep the map; you make the call.
Not a personality test. Three short scenarios. The answers tune how your Buddy speaks to you when it matters — the day you’re tired, the week you ghosted, the morning a Mission is about to go off the rails.
Animation placeholder — the launch build runs a 2.5-second crew-assembly reveal: your Buddy first, then your Crew arriving one by one in the archetype’s colour. You name your Buddy here. We never ship a default name.
Specific, not vague. Your first day with a Buddy gets you to a named First Forge, an Epic Win on the calendar, your Domain picked, and your first Mission queued in under ten minutes. Day seven is when the second mechanic shows up. We reveal one new mechanic per day for the first week, on purpose — nothing dumped at the start, nothing hidden.
If you go quiet for two weeks, your Domain doesn’t die. It rests at seventy-five percent of your peak and waits for you. Rest days are immune. Coming back is a rekindle, not a restart.
