Something I've been thinking about for a while finally exists, and I want to share it here because it feels relevant to what we're all doing in this group. Coaches are getting sued, fined, and sometimes losing their licenses, because of language in their content. They used phrasing that reads as therapy under ICF guidelines, and nobody caught it before it went out. "You're not broken" in the wrong context. "Let's heal this together." Small word choices that can carry real professional risk. I kept waiting for a tool that would check for this. There wasn't one. So I built it. Mind the Line is an app that scans coaching content and flags anything that crosses into therapy territory before you publish it. You paste your post, your caption, your email, whatever. It tells you where the line is and what to change. I built it using Lovable, which is an AI app builder I've been working with. I'm not going to pretend I wrote code from scratch. I didn't, Lovable did that. But I had a clear problem, I knew what the tool needed to do, and I built the thing. Start to finish. Just by describing what I wanted it to do. I submitted it to the Women Build AI Build-A-Thon on April 30. There were 181 submissions. Mind the Line didn't place in the top 15, and I'm genuinely okay with that. I built a real thing, I put it in front of real judges, and Dr. Claire, one of my clients who is a coach, tried it and said it was exactly what she'd been looking for. That's not nothing. It's not available to the public yet. I'm still working through a couple of updates. But I wanted to share it here because I don't want people to assume software is someone else's job. It used to be, but now it's not. If you have a problem that a tool should solve, you might be closer to building that tool than you think. Here's my Build-a-Thon submission video. Happy to answer any questions if you're curious about the process. https://canva.link/8bxfh9opunr29yw

If you only ever ask it to summarize things, you’re going to get a neat little paragraph… and still miss the part where you were supposed to actually think. Here’s the upgrade that’s helped me the most lately. Instead of “summarize this,” try one of these: - “What am I forgetting to consider?” - “What’s the risk or tradeoff I’m not seeing yet?” - “What questions should I be asking before I decide?” - “What would someone who disagrees with me say?” This works especially well in NotebookLM, because you can point it at your notes and sources and use it like a thinking partner, not a shortcut machine. Copy-paste starter prompt: I’m working on [the thing] and I have these notes and sources. 1. What are 5 questions I should answer before I move forward? 2. What assumptions am I making that might be wrong? 3. What is the simplest next step that would reduce uncertainty? Your turn: What’s one decision on your plate this week where you don’t need a summary, you need better questions? (If you want, drop the context and I’ll reply with 3 questions you can ask AI that won’t melt your brain.)
