HoundMe
Overview
AI accountability coach that checks in via push notifications, SMS, and voice calls. Five coach personalities with escalation logic and multi-provider AI.
HoundMe is an AI accountability partner that refuses to let you off the hook. Assign yourself a task with a deadline, pick a coach personality that matches your motivation style, and the system checks in via push notifications, SMS, and voice calls with escalating urgency. The Go backend orchestrates multi-provider AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI) to generate personality-consistent messages, while ElevenLabs produces voice calls that match each coach's tone. Native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) clients handle real-time task updates over WebSocket.
