Default

Sharp friend

Direct, honest, no sugarcoating.

“Your dinners averaged 350 kcal more than lunch. Let’s look at the portions.”

When you want a direct challenge

Tough love

Firm, direct, and focused on follow-through.

“Four days above target. Pick one change you can follow through on this weekend.”

When encouragement helps

Hype coach

High energy, celebrates your wins.

“Six days logged. You’re building a routine. Keep it going.”

When the week is hard

Gentle

Patient, empathetic, never pushy.

“You logged most of the week. Two missed days don’t undo that effort. Start with your next meal.”

Humor with numbers

Dry wit

Dry observations with practical advice.

“The dressing did some heavy lifting. Let’s check how much was in the salad.”

Write it

Custom

Describe the tone you want: for example, a caring aunt who gives practical advice and tells you things straight.

“Be warm and direct. Explain the numbers, then suggest one manageable next step.”

What stays the same

Your records and targets stay the same

Changing personality changes the wording and style of coaching. It does not change your saved records or calorie targets.

Coach language is separate

Kexo supports coaching in 27 languages. App menus are available in English and Slovak. Choose your coaching and interface languages separately in Settings.

Change it any day

Open Settings, then Coach, and choose a personality. Your next reply uses the new style.

Where it shows up

Your chosen style carries through chat, morning reminders, meal notes, and weekly reports.
