At a Notion x ChatChat evening on wellbeing, three users each worked on a different part of their own lives, sleep, cycles, and the mental load of feeding a family, and ran into the same wall from three different directions: the knowledge already existed, it just had nowhere to live.

Anastasia's youngest son needs his fish deboned and his sauce mild. Her middle son wants his rice and vegetables kept separate from everything else. Her oldest just needs more of it. Her family's meal-planning agent knows all three, every week, without being told twice.

That was one of three builds shown on 26 August at Women & Wellness, an evening hosted by Notion Singapore and ChatChat. Three speakers, three completely different problems: a Notion Ambassador rebuilding the personal trainer he could not afford, a Notion Ambassador trying to understand her own cycle instead of fighting it, and ChatChat's own Head of Partnerships trying to get a family fed without carrying every decision in her head.

Anastasia Harper, Head of Partnerships for ChatChat and ChatAndBuild, opened the case studies with her own. "The use case which I was covering today was about nutrition and a family," she said. "That for me was really interesting."

The plan he could not stay on

Mikie Lee, a Notion Ambassador in Singapore, opened his own case study with a planer problem than a missing app. "I have ADHD," his slides state. "Great at starting plans. Terrible at staying on them."

By Wednesday, he could not tell whether a plan was working, so he guessed, and guessing was where he quit. He named three specific failure points: his plan was written down once in an app he had already stopped opening, his actual data was spread across four apps that never spoke to each other, and when something was clearly wrong he had no way to know what to fix. That third one, he said, was the one that actually made him stop.

Asked separately what part of his own wellbeing he wished he understood better, sleep was the first thing he named.

"I think about my sleep habits, because I need a lot of energy with work and with working out. So I think by optimising my sleep, understanding my sleep better would optimise my work and then my workout routine."
Mikie Lee

The obvious fix was hiring a real personal trainer, someone to hold the plan, watch the numbers, and say what to change this week. In Singapore that is not cheap, and it only works if you see them every week. So he built the same three jobs out of tools he already pays for: Notion to hold the plan, ChatChat to watch it, and Claude to decide.

The stack behind it connects four sources, WHOOP for sleep, strain and VO2, Strava for every workout, and MyFitnessPal for food, through ChatChat into a single Notion database, one row per day, which Claude Code then reads to build a dashboard.

He had tried the alternative first, building the same integrations himself, and named exactly where that fell apart: WHOOP needed a developer account and an OAuth approval wait, Strava needed its own API application with rate limits, and MyFitnessPal turned out to have no public API at all, a dead end. What was left after that was four separate sets of tokens to keep refreshing, indefinitely.

"I clicked connect on all four. It worked the same evening. The data keeps arriving without me touching it. Someone else owns the plumbing."
Mikie Lee

He was careful not to overclaim this for everyone. If you only use one source, he said, just call that platform's API directly, it genuinely works fine. The moment you want three sources talking to each other, doing it yourself turns into a second job.

He credited Anastasia directly for the phrase that describes why this actually matters.

"The living brain. Anastasia's phrase, and it's the right one. Without it, WHOOP knows I slept badly, MyFitnessPal knows I ate late, and neither of them knows about the other, so neither can tell me anything useful. With it, the whole picture lives in one place and stays current as new data lands."
Mikie Lee

"Eat less" is useless advice on its own, his deck argues. "You slept six hours and trained hard, so eat more today" needs sleep, training and food held together, which is only possible once something holds all three at once.

What he actually checks is eight numbers, always read as a change from the week before rather than a number in isolation: average weight, body fat, daily calorie intake, protein, cardio sessions, calories burned, muscle mass, and VO2 max. A number alone means nothing to him, he said. Up or down from last week, he can read in about a second.

From those eight numbers, the system renders a verdict. In the session on his slide, it read behind plan, a weekly trend of minus 0.32kg against a target of minus 0.55, a 256 calorie daily gap, with three specific adjustments: cut calories by 252, hold protein at 150g, and add one more training session.

"It does the deciding, which is the bit I am worst at. Every number comes with the maths underneath, so I can argue with it instead of just believing it."
Mikie Lee

Asked what the hardest part of turning wellness data into an actual routine was, Mikie did not point back to any of this. He pointed at himself.

"It's just my habit, my motivation, and my consistency. I'm not very consistent with my training or my wellbeing. I wish I was more consistently motivated to work out."
Mikie Lee

That answer is exactly why the ADHD-specific fix in his deck is not another tracking feature. It is a habit glued to something he already does without fail. His own example: after morning coffee, log weight, never remember to log weight, because he will not remember, but the coffee happens anyway. His plan for a given day is never more than three things, because it has to be smaller than his willpower on a bad day.

And asked directly what he would want an agent to help him organise, he described almost exactly what he had just built.

"I want an AI agent that is kind of like a PT. Look at all my data, understand it, then tell me what I need to do while motivating me so that I stay consistent toward my goal."
Mikie Lee

He was explicit about what this is not, three times over: not medical advice, since it reads his own numbers back to him rather than diagnosing anything; not a real coach, since it cannot watch his form or catch an injury coming; and not magic data, since on days he logs nothing, the dashboard says so plainly instead of quietly averaging over the gap. He said he would rather it tell him the data is thin this week than hand him a confident number it made up.

"One database. Connect one app, not four, the one you already look at. Then ask for the view, you do not need to code to ask for it. It took a few evenings, and it has kept me on plan longer than any app I have paid for."
Mikie Lee

The second voice she wanted

Jesslyn Sim, also a Notion Ambassador, built her own case study around a question she said the whole event stemmed from: how do her hormonal cycles actually affect her energy, and her ability to push herself in training.

"I really want to understand more about how my hormonal cycles impact my energy level, as well as my ability to push at the level I want to challenge myself at. That's where this whole event stems from."
Jesslyn Sim

The obstacle was not a shortage of data. It was that every tracker she used sat boxed inside its own system, unable to talk to the others.

"Different players try to track your data, and they're all boxed within their own system. The unfortunate thing is sometimes you need cross-data, like my Strava data alongside my cycle data. On this day that I'm exercising, which day of my cycle am I in? Notion is where I see this information come together, and with ChatChat, it's easy to connect from all these disparate sources. It's sort of like a gatherer, onto a platform like Notion, for me to actually analyse and see the data."
Jesslyn Sim

Asked what she would want an agent to help her organise next, she described something closer to a coach than a dashboard.

"I want the AI agent to be like that second voice in my head, to whisper, hey, I think you should be slowing down, not just pushing hard. You've challenged yourself enough. But I also want one that knows when I'm pushing too much, from my Zone 2 or my VO2 max, and tells me maybe it's time to pace it out."
Jesslyn Sim

The most striking thing Jesslyn shared was not about her build at all. It was what the research behind it told her.

"Scientifically, it's actually proven that it's not that related. It doesn't mean that because I'm in my cycle, I am less strong. I think that speaks so much about the body of a woman, and how we overcome something that can actually be very painful. People take days off every month just to listen to their body. That's what surprised me most."

Beyond protein: the invisible work of feeding a family

Feeding a family, Anastasia's deck argues, is not really about recipes. It is a long run of small decisions that never stop: what will everyone actually eat, what does a toddler need, what fits in a school lunch, which evenings are too busy to cook, what is already in the fridge, and what still needs to be bought.

"The challenge was not finding another recipe. It was keeping all of this context in my head."
Anastasia Harper, Beyond Protein

Her goal was never to become a more disciplined meal planner. She wanted less cognitive load, not a stricter routine, which meant the system had to do six specific things: remember the family's recipes, understand their preferences, plan meals for the week, include school lunches, help with shopping, and offer new ideas without her starting from zero each time.

The agent she built for it is called Nicole, styled as a family chef. Nicole keeps the recipes in one place, builds the weekly meal plan, plans school lunches and groceries alongside it, and sends fresh recipe ideas on a schedule rather than waiting to be asked.

"Less mental load. More time at the table."
Anastasia Harper, Beyond Protein

Once a week, Nicole sends a short set of new ideas rather than a full plan. In the session captured on her slide, that meant three dishes, a ginger-tomato turkey and lentil traybake, a miso salmon and sweet potato rice bowl, and a creamy white bean, chicken and spinach pasta, each with real prep and cook times attached.

What made the message useful rather than generic was what came with it. Nicole flagged that the traybake's lentils would need mashing for the family's three-year-old, that the salmon bowl needed checking carefully for bones, and that the miso itself needed a soy and gluten check. She was upfront about one gap too: only limited dietary information was saved for her to verify against.

The heavier lift happens weekly rather than daily. Asked to plan the coming week, Nicole pulled together a full seven-day dinner plan for 31 August through 6 September, then adapted it per child: milder sauce and softer textures for one, components kept separate for another, and larger portions with extra sides for a third.

None of that lives only in chat. Notion turns the recommendation into a shared calendar the whole household can actually glance at, favourites in rotation, the week laid out rather than reconstructed from memory each morning.

The system keeps working when Anastasia is not looking at it. Two scheduled tasks run on their own: a Wednesday morning recipe inspiration run, and a Sunday morning pass that rebuilds the coming week's meal plan from the family's saved preferences, dietary needs and school schedule. Google Calendar and Notion stay connected in the background so the plan holds up against what the week actually looks like.

Asked what she still wants an agent to organise, Anastasia pointed past food entirely.

"There's a lot of things I want my agent to help me organise, and I think the next one will be travel, because I do travel a lot, back and forth between Malaysia and Singapore. If I'm travelling with my family, if I want to book accommodation, I've started trying a few tricks there, and it's been really inspiring to see how it can find good deals, save money, save time, so I can enjoy more time with my family."
Anastasia Harper

She also pointed out something easy to miss about using an agent day to day: the wellness system did not need to be its own separate effort.

"Because I use ChatChat every day, it really helps, because the wellness part just becomes one of my agents, right there, all in one place."
Anastasia Harper

"ChatChat and Notion help me remove decision fatigue, so I can focus on what matters most."
Anastasia Harper, Beyond Protein

What three unrelated builds had in common

None of these three walked in short on information. Mikie already had four apps full of his own data. Jesslyn already had trackers running. Anastasia already knew her own family's preferences, allergies and rhythms better than any app could tell her. In every case, the missing piece was not knowledge. It was somewhere for that knowledge to live in one place, and something able to turn it into an actual next step.

The event also produced its own small proof of that same idea in miniature. Jesslyn's session on cycle-driven energy was, by two separate accounts, the one detail from the night that stuck.

"It was Jesslyn's session, when she was talking about the different cycles and how each one comes with a different energy level. I didn't know that it affects females in that way. That was very interesting to learn today."
Mikie Lee

"What Jesslyn was covering, about your flow, your period, and which phase you're in, that's the part I would like to get more knowledge in. It was really inspiring to try out that template she shared with us."
Anastasia Harper

Anastasia's own reflection on the evening was less about any single build and more about the habit of iterating on one at all.

"Every time I'm creating an agent or a wellness system, it's cool to ask the agent how to make them better, and to get inspiration out of those answers, then see how you can tweak it based on the feedback it gives you back."
Anastasia Harper

Start with one database

Mikie's own closing advice doubles as the simplest way into any of this: one Notion database, one row per day, is enough to start. Connect a single app, not four, the one you already look at, and let that flow first. Then ask for the view. You do not need to code to ask for it.

Whether the thing you are trying to organise is a family's dinner rotation, a training plan, or a cycle you are only just learning to work with instead of against, the pattern from all three builds holds: the agent is not there to know something you do not. It is there to hold what you already know, in one place, so you stop having to carry it yourself.
