Shadow Along

For adults. On WhatsApp.

A WhatsApp note from your Shadow when starting feels too big.

Shadow Along is an AI accountability coach for adults with ADHD. It lives in WhatsApp. There is no app to learn and no clinical talk.

Shadow Along is AI, not a person. It does not diagnose or treat ADHD. It is not therapy. It helps with starting, focusing, and following through. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

Adults 18 and over. A small pilot for about 20 to 30 people. No phone calls.

$15 a month. Free with a coupon code.

MessagesShadow Along

Morning Sam. I'm Shadow Along, an AI coach. One thing today: send the invoice. Try 2 minutes — open it and write the first line. I'm here if you want to tell me how it went.

not yet. I opened email instead

Email can wait 2 minutes. Put the phone face down and open the invoice. I'll check at 12:30.

A plan for today, not a new system

A morning plan, a midday nudge, and an evening wrap-up. At times you pick. Quiet hours and a day off are respected.

Reply like a chat, because it is one

Say you started, say you didn't, or just talk. Shadow keeps it to one small next step.

It learns what helps you

A thumbs up or thumbs down is enough. Shadow uses what has worked, and sometimes tries something new.

What a check-in might try

  • Break the task into a tiny piece
  • Just start for 2 minutes
  • Put it on the clock
  • Use a short timer
  • Body doubling, even by text
  • An if-then plan
  • A top 3 list
  • A reward after you finish

What this is not

  • Not a doctor, therapist, or crisis line
  • Not a diagnosis, and not treatment
  • Not an app you have to remember to open
  • Not phone calls

9 quick questions, one at a time. Every question can be skipped. Shadow asks a few more by text later.
