Client review

Recovery doesn’t only happen in coaching sessions. Danie’s clients needed support in the moments in between — late in the evening, after a hard day, when an old pattern shows up.

The challenge was building something genuinely helpful for a sensitive topic: warm and personal, consistent with Danie’s method, aware of each client’s journey — and with clear boundaries about what an AI should and shouldn’t do.

We built AiDanie as a companion that lives where clients already are:

  • A WhatsApp companion clients can message any time — no new app to install
  • Replies shaped by Danie’s own approach and language
  • Long-term memory, so it remembers progress and what matters to each client
  • Voice-message understanding — clients can simply talk
  • Carefully designed boundaries for a sensitive use case
  1. 01Client writes or talksText or voice note on WhatsApp, any time
  2. 02ContextVoice transcribed; history and memory loaded
  3. 03AI companionReplies in Danie’s approach, within clear boundaries
  4. 04MemoryProgress and key moments kept for next time
Something outside the companion’s role → it says so clearly and points the client back to Danie.

Danie’s clients now have a supportive companion in their pocket between sessions — one that remembers their journey and speaks in a way they recognise from their coach.

“I absolutely loved working with Peter and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work and a reliable developer. He is an excellent communicator, very detail-oriented, and incredibly reliable throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how involved and proactive he was — he truly follows through on everything. The final project turned out beautifully, and the entire experience felt smooth, collaborative and professional from start to finish.”
