How HawkenAI built a real-time executive intelligence platform with Claude so PowerYou’s leadership team can understand the business, product, and strategy in plain language every day.
PowerYou AI is a private AI companion for the inner world, built by LearnerYou, Inc. Loved by more than 30,000 early users and featured in Business Insider, Forbes, and OK Magazine, it helps people build mental fitness through short daily check-ins with Kris, its AI companion.
As PowerYou grew, its leadership team needed a live picture of the business and the product, not a snapshot assembled weeks after the fact. They needed to understand retention, trial-to-paid conversion, engagement, acquisition efficiency, and how users were actually moving through the experience.
The traditional route meant pulling raw data, cleaning it, tagging it, building cohort models, and writing everything up. That is days or weeks of work, and it consumes data engineering and analyst capacity a lean team does not have to spare. By the time a report was ready, the moment to act had often passed.
How users were actually feeling inside the product, what was resonating, and what was falling flat.
Which weekly cohorts were retaining, which were churning, and how trial-to-paid conversion changed over time.
Whether paid acquisition was working and where engagement was strongest across the product journey.
Business and product intelligence that was continuous rather than periodic, so the team could act while the moment still mattered.
HawkenAI designed and built the complete system for LearnerYou: the data pipeline, the analytics engine, and the executive-facing application that turns raw product and subscription data into decisions.
Leadership gets a single interface for retention, trial-to-paid conversion, engagement, ad economics, and the overall health of the company in real time.
Weekly subscription cohorts are tracked and visualized automatically so the team can see how performance changes as users mature.
Instead of stopping at charts, the platform generates executive-ready narrative across business intelligence, product usage, and prioritized strategic guidance.
The team can investigate high-value users, ideal customer profiles, and behavioral patterns inside a private system built to respect PowerYou’s commitment to user confidentiality.
HawkenAI built the intelligence layer on the Anthropic API so the platform does more than visualize data. It reads underlying signals, reasons across them, and returns structured executive analysis in seconds.
Claude Opus 4.7 and 4.8 handle synthesis-heavy work where the team needs deeper reasoning across retention, monetization, acquisition, and usage data.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 supports fast, repeatable analysis at the speed an operating team needs day to day.
The system returns narrative a human analyst would normally write by hand: clear summaries, key patterns, and prioritized guidance.
All of it happens within a secure environment aligned with PowerYou’s need for confidentiality around sensitive user context.
The platform has been live in production since February 2026 and is used every day by LearnerYou’s executive team. It changed both what leadership can see and how fast they can act.
Executive summaries across business intelligence, product usage, and strategy are available on demand instead of arriving on a reporting lag. Weekly cohorts, engagement patterns, and acquisition economics are visible continuously.
The platform removed the need for a dedicated full-time analytics hire, giving a lean team the analytical output of a much larger organization.
Where the team once waited for answers, it now leads with them. What previously took manual pulling, cleaning, modeling, and write-up now arrives instantly and continuously.
The most important result was not just more data. It was faster clarity, delivered in a way an executive team could use immediately, without exposing private performance figures publicly.
“We are building infrastructure for people’s inner worlds, and that means we cannot afford to fly blind on our own business. HawkenAI gave us something rare: the clarity we ask our users to build, applied to our company. What used to take our team days now takes seconds. Every morning my leadership team opens one place and sees exactly how the product and the business are performing, in plain language, with the strategy already drawn out. It has changed how fast and how confidently we make decisions.”

HawkenAI customer story about building PowerYou's real-time executive intelligence platform with Claude for continuous product, growth, and strategy insight.
PowerYou AI is a private AI companion for the inner world, built by LearnerYou, Inc. Loved by more than 30,000 early users and featured in Business Insider, Forbes, and OK Magazine, PowerYou helps people build mental fitness through short daily check-ins with Kris, its AI companion. Behind that consumer experience sits a business that has to move fast: understand what users need, learn what is working, and steer product and growth in real time.
The problem was speed of insight. As PowerYou grew, its leadership needed a live picture of the business and the product, not a snapshot assembled weeks after the fact.
LearnerYou's executive team wanted answers to questions that most early companies cannot get quickly. How are users actually feeling inside the product? What is resonating, and what is falling flat? Which cohorts retain, and which churn? Is paid acquisition working? Where is engagement strongest?
Producing that level of insight the traditional way meant pulling raw data, cleaning it, tagging it, building cohort models, and writing it all up. That is days or weeks of work, and it requires data engineering and analyst capacity that a lean team does not have to spare. By the time a report was ready, the moment to act on it had often passed. The company needed business intelligence and product intelligence that were continuous, not periodic.
LearnerYou brought in HawkenAI, an engineering and applied AI consultancy, to design and build a complete real-time analytics platform for its executive team. HawkenAI delivered the full system: data pipeline, analytics engine, and an executive-facing application that turns raw product and subscription data into decisions.
The platform gives leadership a single place to see the whole business. Key performance indicators for retention, trial-to-paid conversion, engagement, and ad economics update in real time. Weekly subscription cohorts are tracked and visualized automatically. And where earlier tools would have stopped at charts, this platform goes further: it uses Claude to write the analysis itself.
At the center are Claude-generated executive summaries across three areas. Business intelligence covers the health of the company across retention, monetization, and acquisition. Product usage covers how people move through the experience and where they engage. Strategy connects the two into clear, prioritized guidance the team can act on the same day. The platform also produces user-level insight and ideal-customer-profile analysis on demand, so the team can understand who its most valuable users are and why, all within a private, secure environment that respects PowerYou's commitment to user confidentiality.
HawkenAI built the intelligence layer on the Anthropic API, using Claude Opus 4.7 and 4.8 for deep analysis and synthesis, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 for fast, high-volume work. Claude reads the underlying data, reasons over it, and returns structured, executive-ready narrative in seconds. The result is not just dashboards. It is analysis a human analyst would produce, delivered instantly and continuously.
The platform has been live in production since February 2026 and is used every day by LearnerYou's executive team. It changed what the leadership can see and how fast they can act.
Analysis that previously took days or weeks now completes in seconds. Executive summaries on business intelligence, product usage, and strategy are available on demand instead of on a reporting lag. Leadership operates with a real-time view of the business that simply was not possible before. And the platform removed the need for a dedicated full-time analytics hire, giving a lean team the analytical output of a much larger one.
The insight is concrete. The platform surfaces retention and conversion trends, tracks weekly cohorts as they mature, and reports on engagement and acquisition economics continuously. Where the team once waited for answers, it now leads with them.
