Getting Started
What is AncientCoach?
AncientCoach is an AI-powered mobile app that allows you to have meaningful conversations with history's greatest minds. From ancient philosophers like Socrates and Marcus Aurelius to modern innovators like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, you can receive personalized guidance based on their authentic teachings, writings, and philosophies.
How do I get started with AncientCoach?
Simply download the app from the App Store, create your account, and choose your first coach. You'll get a 3-day free trial with unlimited access to all coaches and features. No credit card required to start your trial.
Which coaches are available?
We offer over 30 legendary figures including ancient philosophers (Socrates, Aristotle, Buddha), Renaissance masters (Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo), strategic minds (Sun Tzu, Napoleon), scientific pioneers (Darwin, Einstein), modern innovators (Steve Jobs, Elon Musk), and poets & mystics (Rumi, Khalil Gibran). We're constantly adding new coaches based on user requests.
How It Works
How authentic are the coach responses?
Each coach's personality is meticulously crafted from their actual writings, speeches, and documented philosophies. We train our AI on vast amounts of authentic historical materials to ensure that responses align with each figure's genuine teachings and worldview. While we can't perfectly recreate these individuals, we strive for the highest level of authenticity possible.
Can coaches remember our previous conversations?
Yes! Each coach maintains context from your ongoing conversations, allowing for deeper, more personalized guidance over time. They remember your challenges, goals, and progress, creating a continuous mentoring relationship rather than isolated interactions.
Can I talk to multiple coaches?
Absolutely! With your subscription, you have unlimited access to all coaches. We encourage exploring different perspectives - you might seek Marcus Aurelius for resilience, Steve Jobs for innovation, or Rumi for spiritual guidance. Each coach offers unique insights based on their expertise and philosophy.
What kinds of questions can I ask?
You can discuss anything from career decisions and relationship challenges to philosophical questions and personal growth. Coaches provide advice on leadership, creativity, resilience, strategy, mindfulness, innovation, and much more. The key is matching your question to the coach's area of expertise.

What happens to my conversations if I cancel?

Privacy & Safety
Is my data private and secure?
Yes, we take your privacy seriously. All conversations are encrypted, and we never share your personal data with third parties. Your conversations with coaches are private and confidential. Please review our
Privacy Policy for detailed information.
Is AncientCoach suitable for mental health support?
While our coaches can provide philosophical guidance and life advice, AncientCoach is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're experiencing mental health issues, please consult with a qualified healthcare professional. Our coaches offer wisdom and perspective, not medical or therapeutic treatment.
Are the coaches appropriate for all ages?
AncientCoach is designed for users 13 and older. While the content is educational and inspirational, some philosophical concepts may be more suitable for mature audiences. Parents should review the app if their teens are using it.
Technical Support
What devices are supported?
AncientCoach is currently available for iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) running iOS 14.0 or later. An Android version is in development and will be announced soon. You can use the app on multiple devices with the same account.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes, an active internet connection is required to have conversations with your coaches, as responses are generated in real-time using our AI technology. However, you can review your past conversation history offline.
