Chat & Areela Overview

Meet Areela the built-in assistant — and how to reach your coach.

Getting here: tap the centre Areela button (bottom-middle of the screen).

Meet Areela

Areela is there to help. Tapping the centre button opens Areela's hub, which greets you with “Hi {ClientName}, how can I help you today?” From here you can ask it questions or get it to do things for you.

Talking to Areela vs messaging your coach

Here you're always talking to Areela — there's no toggle between Areela and your coach. When you want to reach your coach, just ask Areela to message them; that opens Chat, the direct-message feature with your coach. See Messaging Your Coach.
