Sabbaticals

Plan a meaningful career break without turning it into another job.

BreakBuddy is a structured sabbatical workspace for shaping goals, planning time and money, recording check-ins, and reflecting with an AI coach that remembers the context.

Enough structure, without recreating work

A career break creates freedom, but it can also create pressure. BreakBuddy keeps the practical and reflective parts of a break together so people can decide what they want from the time, make plans that fit their circumstances, and revise those plans when life changes.

What is available

• Purpose, duration, desired outcomes, goals, action steps, and recurring micro-goals.
• Event planning and a sabbatical budget.
• Regular check-ins, audio journals, and guided self-reflection.
• A context-aware AI coach that can use saved goals, recent check-ins, and recent conversation context.
• Practical resources, community stories, an end-of-break keepsake, and account-data export.

How AI fits

The coach is part of BreakBuddy, not an autonomous outside agent. It can suggest next steps, respond to a check-in, and help connect recurring themes. It does not make decisions or change plans on the user's behalf.
