Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Kalen, your AI accountability coach
Why was Kalen created?
I created Kalen from my own struggle with solo accountability. I was working on AI projects independently and realized that despite having task managers and calendars, staying accountable was incredibly difficult without external structure. Kalen is named after my fitness coach who used to provide that essential accountability - it's designed to be like having a manager who actually helps, not micromanages.
What is Kalen?
Kalen is your personal AI accountability coach that helps you set weekly goals and provides daily check-ins via email to keep you on track. It's designed specifically for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and independent workers who need structure without micromanagement.
How does Kalen work?
Every Monday, Kalen emails you to set your weekly goals. Then Tuesday through Friday, you receive daily check-ins to track progress and stay accountable. Everything happens through email - no apps to download or dashboards to manage.
Is Kalen free to use?
Kalen offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. After that, it's just $10/month or $100/year (save $20!) for unlimited AI accountability coaching. You can cancel anytime.
Do I need to download an app?
No! Kalen works entirely through email, so it integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow. You'll receive emails and can reply directly - no additional apps or platforms needed.
How personalized are the check-ins?
Kalen's AI learns from your responses and adapts its approach over time. It understands your progress patterns, communication style, and goals to provide increasingly personalized support that matches your working style.
What if I miss a check-in or don't respond?
That's totally fine! Kalen is designed to be supportive, not pushy. If you miss a check-in, Kalen will adjust its approach and continue supporting you without judgment. Life happens, and your AI coach understands that.
Can I change my goals mid-week?
Absolutely! Just reply to any of Kalen's emails with your updated goals or priorities. The AI is flexible and will adapt to help you stay focused on what matters most right now.
What types of goals work best with Kalen?
Kalen works great with any professional or personal goals: completing projects, building habits, learning new skills, growing your business, or maintaining work-life balance. The key is setting specific, achievable weekly milestones.
Is my information private and secure?
Yes, your privacy is my top priority. Your email conversations with Kalen are kept strictly confidential and are used only to provide better coaching. I never share your personal information or goals with third parties.
How is this different from other productivity tools?
Unlike task managers or calendar apps, Kalen provides the human element of accountability through AI. It's not just about organizing tasks - it's about having a supportive coach who checks in on your progress and helps you stay motivated.
Should I use my work or personal email address?
Use whichever email address you consider your primary one - the address you check most often and associate with your goals and planning. This ensures you'll see Kalen's check-ins when you need them most.
Can I unsubscribe anytime?
Yes, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email from Kalen or by replying with 'unsubscribe'. No questions asked, no hassle.
