STICH AI Life Management Platform
STICH is a life management platform powered by AI that assists users in developing consistent habits, overseeing their finances, and reaching personal goals. It features an intelligent coach that adapts to the user’s lifestyle and provides support at crucial moments. The project encompassed complete product design and engineering for three main systems: the STICH AI Coach, which is a context-aware coaching engine equipped with memory, goal tracking, and 12 action tools. STICH engages users proactively by reaching out about missed habits, milestone streaks, and inactivity, offering tailored nudges rather than generic reminders. The Life Tracking aspect includes habit tracking that awards XP points, maintains streaks, and provides level progression while incorporating personal finance tracking and awareness of monthly budgets. Social capabilities include friend connections, privacy settings, and real-time chat. The platform and infrastructure utilize a React SPA frontend, an Express API hosted on a Vercel serverless framework, and Neon PostgreSQL with 35 migrations, along with Stripe for subscription billing featuring webhook idempotency. Additionally, a background worker manages 10 scheduled job types for proactive AI engagement and there’s a live admin dashboard for real-time monitoring of AI usage, costs, and user subscriptions. The outcome is a platform ready for production, aiming for 300 premium users by the sixth month, with AI costs maintained below $3 per user monthly and an anticipated weekly active rate of 65%.
