How I Built a Porn Recovery App (Part 1)

All right guys, what's up? So I'm gonna show you guys the process behind really me building this app. Okay, now this app, essentially right now what we're doing with the app is we're trying to make it so that we have a personal chatbot, right? Essentially like a ChatGPT for, uh, my method, the Fortless method, right? As you can see behind me, we have the book and the workbook, but I'm trying to make it so that we have it not only tackle like how to quit porn and masturbation, but for it to be a model that you can use also for all of the other behaviors, right? And of course that's going to take time for me to make, right? Because for example, if we wanna teach people about fitness, right? On how to be motivated to be going to the gym or see like what's holding them back from wanting to constantly, you know, work on themselves hard or even just teaching people how to love hard work, right, which are things that can be very powerful. Because if, for example, you ask ChatGPT, okay, give me the benefits or give me the reasons why, or things that will motivate me to really go to the gym or to work hard every day or to move on from smoking cigarettes or to move on from drugs, what's going to happen is we're gonna be able to change people's perception very quickly, right? So I'm kind of working on that. Now, of course, this is just a project. I don't even know if it's gonna work. And I'm gonna upload it, you know, of course for my students first and then maybe to the public, but I'll just make a better version of it, okay? So let me just show you guys what I've done so far, okay? So as you can see, okay, this is me kind of like building a chatbot. This is just the homepage I've made, okay? So I've kind of been working on it. This is an AI sort of platform where you can say, okay, make this, right? So let me show you. Make the button bigger, and then you'll make the button bigger. Instead of read a book, put book. Instead of fill out workbook, put book. So as you can see here, right? So we're going to have those things, right? And I just been building because I have no idea on how you can actually like build a good app. I have no knowledge about this. I'm kind of like, you know, happy to learn. This is just a template, but, um, it's going to take a bit of my time, and that's why I haven't been as consistent because I'm also writing the second draft of my book, and I'm also working on different things, right? And so this is the first thing that we want to do, okay? And then we want to add the book and the workbook, and as well as the vision, okay? Now I'm going to be honest with you guys, okay? I've had, um, two people that essentially offered to help me, and then, you know, we were also planning on making this app not only about the chatbot but making it much bigger and releasing it to the public for people to learn how to quit porn, masturbation, and lust and get as much support as possible for a very small price. But what happened lately is, you know, and maybe this is me just not being as committed in terms of the time or maybe not being the best when it comes to communication, but I've essentially had two partners that were potentially going to be partners, never really end up working, right? They said, oh, I'm gonna build a chatbot for you and everything, I'm gonna do this. So I was waiting on them to make it before I can really launch the app and then it's been over a month. So we haven't been able to do much sadly, but it's okay. And I understand them because they're probably busy with other things. So now I'm kind of left alone building this, right? I'm actually like kind of looking for a partner to build this. If someone is good at building applications and you wanna partner with me because, you know, we're planning on making this big, right? We're planning on, this is currently I'm showing you guys like the small version, like the beta version I'm gonna launch to my, for my students, people in my private community, there is link in the description, as well as maybe the public after that, right? So meaning like, you know, for you guys, right? So you can have that app and ask any questions at any time. Now, of course, like the whole concept here is very, very simple. Like I'm just building a chatbot, right? Anyone can do that essentially, but that's why we're adding the book, the workbook, and the vision to those. Now, Again, like I need a partner because I, we can make this very big, but for now that's what I'm building. And so I'll just go in a little deep work block, maybe of 30, 60 minutes and work on that. Um, I need to add my book as well as the resources that will kind of like create that chatbot and make sure that it's actually good. But yeah. Um, it's a lot of work and you know, I, I'm not gonna lie. I did feel disappointed knowing that like people that said, I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna, you know, start this with you, never really, you know, did anything that they said they were going to do. But, you know, I forgive them. I'm just gonna go and, you know, build it myself for now, learn myself. This is a new skill I'll be able to learn. So I can't wait to show you guys the end result. So there's a guy called Nate. Shout out to you, Nate. You might be actually following me. So, so there's a guy I talked with on Discord about a month ago, and he made a sort of like therapist using ChatGPT. So I asked him like, how can you create one, all the files I had, and then I had ChatGPT make a prompt for the bot that I was making. So I told it to make a prompt for the bot that would likely follow the ideas of this, rejecting, okay, then reject, rejecting certain ideas so that he has his own ideology when it comes to, and so essentially like he made it so that ChatGPT makes it based on what he believes and what the files essentially convey for, I mean, information-wise. So I'm just gonna do that. To be honest, you know, this is the perfect example of you don't know if it's gonna work. You don't know if it's even, you know, going to, to, if you're even going to be able to do a, a good product out of, you, you don't even know if you're gonna even have good results out of this. But you're willing to make it just so you— but you're willing to just try and see, right? And that's how you learn, essentially. I'll make mistakes, I'll get better, and we'll see, man. And yeah, even if it fails, I'll learn so many things. That's the mindset you want to have. I know it's cliché, everyone says you need to fail, you need to fail in order to learn, but it's like, you know, it's actually true. It's just most people don't even fail. They don't even take action, and so that's why they never really get to grow as much as possible. I'm not gonna lie, guys, I'm still kind of sad. I mean, not like too sad, but I'm just a bit disappointed I'm doing this alone. I was so excited to do it with someone else because I don't have that much time and I can provide ideas and I can essentially really make sure that I can do the best product possible. Because if I don't spend all of my time just like doing this, then I know that I'll be able to focus more on other important things such as coaching, such as learning, such as overall building more videos for you guys. Let me show you guys. Apparently it works. So, uh, let's see if it actually works though. Okay, so it says updated the chatbot response to align with the Effortless Method philosophy, emphasizing personal choice over the disease model. Okay, so let's see if it actually works. So I'm gonna type, um, how can I get motivated to work hard? Okay, let's see if it has a good response. What you experience is individual. It's simply your mind adjusting to a new situation. Okay. No, this is, yes, this is not the response I was looking for. Ah, okay. Um, I think it's going to be a bit more complicated than that. I don't think I can do this on this app. I'll have to maybe, you know, take it from somewhere else and then put it on this app or something, because I don't think that's going to happen. Or what I might do is the guy that initially gave me the tip, I'm going to just reach out to him again. And ask him how he basically did it so I can maybe have it on an app essentially. Because if you say, how can I get motivated to work hard? And it talks about withdrawals or brain changes, like, I actually have two people that are willing to help me. Got done with plenty of things. I was making content, just made a YouTube video. I just enrolled someone in the community and I just basically, I'm doing a bunch of work right now and I just got a message Basically from 2 students recently that are willing to help me. And this was kind of like out of the blue. One guy I proposed a long time ago and one guy, uh, just said to me today, like, you know, I have one guy that can help you make a sort of like chatbot so you can make an application. And so I, I can't wait. And I realized like, you know, with AI we're gonna be able to do so much more. It's really going to be the new social media. You know how when people used to have like TV and newspaper in order to like advertise for their business. Nowadays we have like, I mean, we have social media and now we're gonna have AI. So I'm gonna really make sure I can use that to my advantage. You're like, there's literally zero shame involved, right? Because you're talking to a robot. I think that's something which a lot of people want. They're very scared of talking to someone, especially a stranger, for privacy reasons, but also just like the feeling weak in front of another human being, if that makes sense, especially for men. So that's gonna be very powerful and I cannot wait to show you guys. I'm actually going to meet with Joey and I think you guys know Joey. Joey, basically, just to give you a quick backstory, Joey was someone that I reached out to on, or no, that reached out to me on Instagram a long time ago on my other account. I had an account, uh, Now it's called The Effortless Method on Instagram, but it used to be like a mass community slash self-improvement account where I would post viral random reels and I basically blew it to 30,000 followers. And on that account, I think he messaged me and then we realized that we were living in the same city. I was just not really living in that city at that time, but I was from that city. And then a few months later, we decided to meet and That's where, you know, he was essentially like saying that he needs to quit porn and masturbation. And I gave him the plan, right? Coached him, gave him the videos. And, you know, now we did like these interviews where we have two interviews. We have one where he initially said like, you know, how he left porn and masturbation and like the transformation. And the other one was me going more in depth into like how did he manage to quit porn and what was like very helpful for him. Still suggest you really watch those videos. But now I'm going to meet, and I'm gonna vlog this. I'm gonna show you guys us building the chatbot because he is one of the guys that proposed to me that he can help me with that. And so I'm gonna show you guys, I'm gonna meet him in a few hours. I'm gonna go to the gym first, but then I'll show you. And he's probably going to give you guys some insights on AI because he's working on AI and he's very, very good at it. He has a lot of knowledge and we're going to make sure that we can maybe build that ASAP and have the chatbots ready so that we can, I mean, it's gonna be amazing, but have like an application for ourselves for the effortless method. So guys, I'm going to meet Joey. I just got done with an amazing workout and just got my protein in as we need to. And then I'm going to go meet him. I'm gonna talk, obviously, like I'm not there to just work on a project, you know, we're there to meet and really just you know, get to, to, to really catch up cuz you know, we're friends now and really get to essentially talk. I love talking about AI with him cuz he has a lot of knowledge and it's one of the best topics of conversation currently in terms of, you know, this is the future, right? And also I get to about something I'm really passionate about, which is business, and he's passionate about AI, so it's perfect, man. So I'll see you guys there. How are you doing, man? You see, it has auto-active track. So you know the app of like these guys that are making like very good money, like they This is not the final version.

It will look way pretty.

Yeah, I know, I know, but just to show the progress, you know. So this is the app so far. This is just what we made with AR.

Let me just So, uh, we're building the app for you guys about, uh, this— the— to quit PMO forever. And this is, uh, this here is the chatbot. You'll be able to talk to him. And then we have the videos.

Yeah, these are not the real videos. They just, uh, yeah, they're just an example for, uh, example for the templates.

We'll have a group chat so you guys can talk to each other, help each other.

Forum post is going to be like daily posts, like a community sort of thing where I give like daily advice, where I share certain things.

Yeah, daily motivations. And then the readings will be, uh, the books, the workbook.

Yeah, so that is some readings that your coach Samir Gardner will pick up. Yeah, along the— down the line.

And now one of my favorite features is the personal vision.

Yeah, it's gonna be nice.

You'll be able to write your daily tasks, what's your vision, long-term vision, short-term vision.

It's going to be something which is going to be so valuable And we'll probably put a full app, do it for a very cheap price for what we're going to provide. So it keeps the commitment, because when people pay, they're committed. Of course. We all know where you put your money is where your heart is going to be. Where you put your goal is where your heart's going to be. It forces people to essentially commit, but at the same time, it's not about putting them in a financial situation where they're in trouble because they want to invest into this and they take that risk. But we make it like, um, very, very cheap. But like, we know that they're not only going to like improve and quit porn as soon as possible, but as a byproduct, they're going to make that investment 10 times more, 100 times more, and achieve more of their goals, you know?

Of course.

So, all right, I just got done with Joey. It was a great, great session. To be honest, he's like really, really smart when it comes to AI. I haven't been able to do much 'cause like he's the expert when it comes to that. I'm the coach. And yeah, I think we're gonna partner when it comes to this specifically and we're going to make something great, right? Like I said, really make an app that's going to be cheap but so valuable in terms of like you're gonna get so much out of this that you're going to be like, man, this is only this amount of money, right? And you're going to be able to do so many different things. Than just that app alone. So I can't wait to show it to you guys. But anyways, I hope you like this vlog. I hope that you like these videos. Of course, if you want to see also, I have a— I'm documenting essentially my book writing process, and I have 2 videos on that on my YouTube channel. I highly suggest you watch that too. There's something else I'm building on the side, and it should be done maybe by the end of this year or maybe later. And, you know, I was talking with Joey today and I was like, maybe for the book itself, I hired like a year ago a professional editor when it comes to editing the book so that he could like really help me just correct things and make things better. And I realized AI could do a better job than that guy. And I paid a lot of money for that guy. So I'm going to maybe see a way where I can utilize AI to make my book better. That would be very, very interesting, right? Because I can see how I can use that to my advantage to make the best book possible that I can make, right? But anyways, I will see you guys in the next videos. I have plenty of other YouTube videos I'm gonna upload soon, so be on the lookout.
