## Problem Statement

Traditional coaching and therapy are expensive (EUR 80-200/session), limited by appointment availability, and often inaccessible for people who need daily support. Generic AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude) lack therapeutic frameworks, don't remember previous conversations, and aren't designed for emotional support.

## Solution

InsideSpark bridges this gap: professional-grade coaching methodology, delivered by AI that remembers your entire journey, available 24/7, at a fraction of the cost of human coaching.

## How It Works

1. **Onboarding**: Quick profile setup (gender, age range, life stage, key relationships, preferred coach personality)
2. **Daily Coaching**: One unified chat interface. The AI auto-detects what you need — coaching, technique, exercise, challenge, or just listening.
3. **Voice Option** (Pro): Speak naturally; receive spoken responses. Like talking to a real coach.
4. **Daily Routine**: Morning impulse -> Morning challenge -> Afternoon challenge -> Evening reflection -> Mood check
5. **Growth Tracking**: Three pillars (Peace, Connection, Strength) scored weekly. Streak tracking. Narrative insights.
6. **Memory**: Every conversation is stored and used to personalize future sessions. The coach remembers your relationships, goals, patterns, and progress.

## Evidence Base

The coaching framework integrates 16 methods:

1. Positive Psychology (PERMA model, character strengths)
2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thought records, cognitive restructuring)
3. Systemic Coaching (circular questioning, reframing)
4. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (body scan, breathing exercises)
5. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (values clarification, defusion)
6. Motivational Interviewing (change talk, decisional balance)
7. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (miracle question, scaling)
8. Narrative Therapy (externalization, re-authoring)
9. Emotionally Focused Therapy principles (attachment awareness)
10. Nonviolent Communication (observation, feeling, need, request)
11. Gestalt techniques (empty chair, awareness continuum)
12. Logotherapy (meaning-making, Frankl's principles)
13. Self-Compassion practices (Kristin Neff's framework)
14. Growth Mindset interventions (Dweck's research)
15. Habit Formation science (tiny habits, implementation intentions)
16. Resilience training (stress inoculation, post-traumatic growth)
