Meet Pacey: The AI That Turns Your Overwhelming Goals Into Tiny Experiments

You know that feeling, right? You set an ambitious goal - maybe it's finally writing that book, getting in shape, or mastering a new skill.

Week 1: You're energized and making progress.
Week 2: Life gets messy, you miss a day.
Week 3: "I've already failed, might as well quit."

​

Here's the thing that gets me: You're not failing because you lack willpower.
You're maybe failing because you're using the wrong framework.

When I help people with their goals, I currently see several overlapping challenges.
This includes overwhelming ambition, analysis paralysis, and the crushing weight of perfectionism.

People want to improve continuously, but they face the challenge of unsustainable approaches.

How do we know if a goal is well-designed, and what makes it stick?
Once we know that, how can we transfer that knowledge to create lasting change?

I've read through many goal-setting sources. I've learned through many productivity courses. But I kept seeing the same pattern: people struggling with consistency. And likely you can also experience that frustration with your own ambitious plans.

We want to achieve so much, but lack the most important tool to make it sustainable.
Traditional goal-setting frameworks like SMART goals are for sure helpful, but they don't help with building lasting habits and even become dangerous because working with outcome-focused goals can create overwhelming pressure.

The Knowledge Foundation

So, I went on a journey to explore sustainable growth frameworks. I consolidated insights about habit formation, behavioral psychology, and discovered something revolutionary called PACT - developed by neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff.

This approach focuses on:

• Purposeful: Connected to what truly matters to you
• Actionable: Focused on what you can control
• Continuous: Simple enough to repeat daily
• Trackable: Easy to measure with a simple yes/no

But here's where it gets interesting. I realized that while this framework is powerful, most people need guidance to apply it effectively.

The Breakthrough Insight

A friend provided me with an important realization: What if there was an AI assistant specifically designed to help people transform overwhelming ambitions into manageable experiments?

When people work with a specialized coach, when they have someone who understands both the psychology of change AND the practical application, then they're in their natural learning flow. Then they're using curiosity instead of pressure.

I wondered, how can I create that experience for everyone. How can I build an AI that doesn't just give generic advice, but actually understands the PACT framework deeply.

Like so often, the solution became clear through building.

Meet Pacey

Instead of another generic productivity AI, I created Pacey - an AI assistant specialized entirely in the PACT framework.

​

​

Pacey doesn't just explain concepts. Pacey helps you:

• Transform "I will lose 20 pounds" → "I will walk for 15 minutes daily for 2 weeks"
• Convert "I will become a better writer" → "I will write 300 words every morning for 10 days"

The magic? Pacey treats every goal as a tiny experiment.
"Failure" becomes valuable data collection, not a reason to quit.

This specialized approach led to something remarkable.

Pacey doesn't just apply the PACT framework - Pacey embodies it, helping people focus on outputs they control rather than outcomes they can't.

I'm hosting a live demo this Thursday at 9AM CEST:
​"Why PACT Beats SMART Every Time - Behind the Scenes"

This isn't just a presentation. This is where Pacey shows up live and demonstrates exactly how curiosity-driven experiments create sustainable growth.

The Bigger Pattern

Zooming out, there is a bigger pattern behind this. This is one more example of creating specialized AI that actually understands a specific methodology, rather than generic advice.

The pattern that shows for me over and over again looks like this:

First: Identify where people consistently struggle. In this case, sustainable goal achievement.

Second: Find a framework that actually works with human psychology. PACT focuses on process over outcomes, curiosity over pressure.

Third: Build specialized AI that embodies this framework. Not just knowledge, but practical application.

Fourth: Let people experience the difference. Pacey doesn't just tell you about PACT - Pacey guides you through it.

As soon as people work with Pacey, they can approach any goal differently. For writing, for fitness, for learning new skills. And for so much more.

Your Turn

Now I'd like to ask for your feedback. What are your thoughts about having an AI that specializes in one specific approach? And - what's one area you're curious to explore through a tiny experiment?

This approach isn't just about goal-setting - it's about having a specialized partner that understands exactly how to turn curiosity into sustainable action.

P.S.

If you can't make the live session but want to explore building your own thinking partner, just reply to this email with
"THINKING PARTNER" and I'll send you my framework for identifying which AI assistant to build first.

You can already start thinking experimentally:

→ Pick one thing you're curious about: What would you explore if you knew you couldn't fail?

→ Make it tiny: What's the smallest possible version you could try for just one week?
