Breaking the Generic Advice Cycle
Parents of ADHD children face constant overwhelm from behavioral challenges, limited access to professional coaches (£100-200/session), and generic online advice that doesn't fit their specific situation.
Professional ADHD coaches use proven frameworks but cost £400-800/month. AI chatbots are affordable but provide shallow, transactional advice
Parent burnout can escalate to crisis situations requiring every message to be screened with emergency resources provided immediately
Real families have multiple ADHD children with different needs, requiring independent tracking and strategies per child
Parents need both thoughtful reflection (text) and natural conversation (voice) using the same therapeutic methodology
Evidence-Based Coaching Meets Conversational AI
Built a production-ready therapeutic platform using Next.js 15, OpenAI GPT-4o-mini, and ElevenLabs voice AI. The system implements professional coaching methodologies through a multi-agent architecture that prioritizes safety and enforces therapeutic depth.
Built crisis-first multi-agent architecture screening every message before processing, with instant emergency resources for high-risk situations
Implemented GROW Model framework: Goal setting, Reality exploration (enforced minimum 10-15 exchanges), Options generation, Will action planning
Created dual interface with unified storage: reflective text chat and real-time voice mode (~300ms latency) saving to same conversation history
Redesigned database schema for multi-child support with independent tracking of challenges, strengths, medication, and strategies per child
Platform achieved production readiness with 5 active families, 9 children supported, and 162+ coaching exchanges. Zero critical safety incidents. Ready for public launch with waitlist system and sustainable business model.
