For men caught in a cycle of lust and pornography, the hardest step is often just telling someone. Chad Coach bridges that gap — an AI-powered recovery coach available 24/7 on WhatsApp and Telegram, offering a shame-free space to start the conversation toward freedom.^1
Created by Bosco Noronha, a former Tesla machine learning engineer and Holy Rosary Cathedral parishioner in Vancouver, Chad combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques with principles from St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body and Karol Wojtyła's Love and Responsibility.^2 The AI is trained on research from the National Institute of Mental Health and Library of Medicine, and advised by a team of healthcare professionals, psychologists, and addiction recovery experts.^1 Chad helps men identify triggers, build positive habits, track progress, and strengthen their spiritual life through prayer, meditation, and journaling.^1
What sets Chad apart is its approach to masculinity. Noronha modeled the AI's personality after the internet's "Chad" meme — but redirected toward Christ. "In my opinion, Christ is the epitome of masculinity," Noronha told The B.C. Catholic. "However, I wanted a character that could be appealing to non-Catholics/Christians to help them find Christ — similar to Aslan in Narnia."^2 For deeper healing beyond what AI can address, Chad has partnered with Freedom Coaching, a Catholic human coaching organization.^3
