Hey HN, throughout 2010s, Mark Zuckerberg famously committed to one challenge every year: Learn Mandarin, only eat meat he hunted, visit every US state, etc. Inspired by his example, my friends Mark, Java, and I built Misogi — Let Muse guide you through your own annual challenge. Here’s how it works: You set a challenge (or pick one from getmisogi.com/explore), Misogi generates an actionable, long-term plan, backed by the latest research on goal setting & skill acquisition, and connect your Muse. Throughout the year Muse keeps you motivated and accountable, gives you timely tips, and nudges you when you’ve fallen off track—Everything a great coach/tutor/mentor would do, always personalised to the challenge. We deliberately chose NOT build another app or even AI agent. With 10M people already Muse, we think that the assistant you already chat with everyday is best positioned to be your guide. P.S. even if you don’t use Muse, you can still try it out on our web app, which runs on the open weight Muse Spark Open via Baseten. Code: https://github.com/markmdev/misogi Demo video: https://youtu.be/vQQ9qn3cmZo Misogi is our submission to the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon. We’d love to hear how we could make it even better for what you want to do!

Run 365 miles sounded motivational until I realized it's just Muse logging 365 creative reasons I skipped a run. Accountability is great until it has memory!
Tried the draft flow with a Read 25 books style goal and the camps quests measurement framing is the only part that actually stuck. It forced scope and a number instead of vague do more reading talk. I ran a 12-week docs cleanup at my last support job and cut 140 stale articles down to 60, and the only reason it worked was that same kind of ugly weekly count.
My problem is the year part. A page and a checking Muse sounds fine in January. Staying honest through October when work gets busy is different. Shared leaderboard and page rebuilds will not fix that drift.
Is pricing listed anywhere on the page?
What's the Connected Muse auth actually do? One-time paste or does it get ongoing access to your data?
Leaderboard mixes in early climbers without making it obvious they're demos. Had to dig around to figure out what was real activity vs filler.
This looks a lot like Beeminder with an AI accountability wrapper. The Muse check-in and auto-rebuilding page is a nice touch over manual logging.
I did the spreadsheet streak thing for two years and it worked because it was private and boring. The shared leaderboard is the part that would actually pull me back though, even if it also makes me wary of turning it into a comparison contest. Still curious how the research-backed plans hold up past January.
