# Duecoach

> Duecoach is an ADHD coach that lives in a chat app (Telegram bot: https://t.me/duecoachbot). It is built around follow-through: "from what you meant to do to what you did". Works in English and Greek.

Duecoach coaches with a structured method: goals, small weekly objectives, barrier analysis, a toolbox of what works for the user, and a weekly review. A 54-card playbook of strategies informs every reply. New users go through a short intake (a few questions, a first goal, their timezone) and then talk freely. Once the timezone is known, the bot checks in after 30 minutes of silence during the day and backs off when ignored; `/interval off` turns check-ins off.

## Try it

- [Duecoach on Telegram](https://t.me/duecoachbot): open the bot, press Start, send `/agree` after reading the privacy notice.

## Privacy and safety

- Users must agree (`/agree`) to a privacy notice before any message is processed. Each message is sent to a language-model provider to generate the reply.
- Messages older than 90 days are deleted; users inactive for 365 days are deleted entirely.
- `/deletedata` erases all of a user's data at once; backups drop it within 7 days.
- Writing about suicide or self-harm gets a fixed safety message with emergency numbers instead of a model reply.
- Duecoach is a coaching aid, not therapy or medical advice.

## Commands

- `/agree`: accept the privacy notice and begin
- `/interval off`: turn off proactive check-ins
