Elena Marie Thompson, 46, sat huddled in her one-bedroom flat in the Capitol Hill district of Seattle. The dim, yellow glow of the desk lamp cast long shadows against the white walls, which had yellowed with the passage of time. November rain pattered against the windowpane, the water gurgling in the gutters like a relentless whisper from the city. The air carried the musty scent of an old carpet, mingled with the fragrance of cold chamomile tea in a white porcelain cup. The thin fleece blanket wrapped around her was not enough to keep her warm, but Elena did not bother to get up for a thicker one. She sighed, her heavy breath blending into the sound of the rain, like a stray low note in the melancholy symphony of the late night.

Three years ago, Elena’s 18-year marriage crumbled—not with the dramatic flair of a Hollywood film, but with the quiet thud common to many modern American divorces: two adults realising they had drifted apart long ago. David, a software engineer, had said during their final counselling session: “Elena, I don’t recognise the woman who used to dance in the kitchen every Sunday morning anymore.” Sophia, their daughter, who was 17 at the time, chose to live with her father in Portland because “Mum is always tired and grumpy.” Elena remained in Seattle alone, clutching her job as a marketing director for a green tech startup—a role that was once her pride, but had now become a burden.

American society celebrates the independent, strong “boss babe” on Instagram and LinkedIn. Elena used to be that role model: running around Green Lake every morning, cooking healthy meals for the family, and attending weekend yoga classes with a group of friends her age. But the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. Working remotely for 60-70 hours a week, caring for her elderly mother via video calls, worrying about Sophia’s online schooling, and then the divorce—it all piled up. She began staying up late scrolling through the internet, eating midnight snacks of grilled cheese sandwiches, and skipping exercise because she was “too tired”. Her skin grew sallow, her hair fell out in clumps when brushed, and she gained 18 pounds that she no longer had the energy to care about. Every morning, looking in the mirror, she asked herself: “Am I still the Elena I used to be?”

The symptoms arrived gradually and then erupted. Chronic insomnia left her with dark circles under her eyes. Hot flushes during Zoom meetings forced her to turn off her camera, pretending the connection was lagging. Anxiety crept in: her heart raced for no reason, and her hands trembled when holding a coffee cup. She tried free meditation apps, nutrition chatbots, and online exercise packages—but they were all soulless. “No one truly understands,” she wrote in her journal. Her best friend Lisa, a former colleague, video called once: “Elena, you look exhausted. Have you tried StrongBody AI? It’s not an automated app; it connects you with real experts.” Elena only managed a weary smile: “I haven’t got the money for that, Lisa.”

One evening in March, as the rain continued to fall, Elena was scrolling through Instagram and saw Lisa’s post: a photo of her smiling next to a cup of herbal tea, with the caption “StrongBody AI helped me find myself again.” She clicked on https://strongbody.ai. The interface was clean and simple. She registered as a Buyer for free and selected her interests: Women’s Health, Menopause Support, and Emotional Balance. The Smart Matching system immediately suggested Dr Isabella Santos, 38, a family physician and women’s health expert from Brazil, practising remotely.

Elena sent her first message: “I don’t even know where to start anymore. Everything is falling apart.”

The next morning, Isabella replied with a voice message. Her voice was gentle and warm (the system translated it seamlessly): “Elena, thank you for trusting me. I am here, and there is no rush. How are you feeling today, on a scale of 1 to 10?”

It was the first time in three years Elena felt someone was truly listening. They built a Personal Care Team: Isabella served as the primary companion, joined by a nutritionist from Mexico and a sleep coach from Canada. Yet, the platform wasn’t perfect. Once, B-Messenger lagged due to high global traffic, and the voice translation glitched with the Brazilian accent, forcing Elena to type. The 10% transaction fee for buyers occasionally made her hesitate when she wanted to book extra sessions. Isabella wasn’t always online instantly—she had her own working hours. Elena learned to send detailed journals in advance and self-adjust when necessary.

Small changes began: drinking 2 litres of water (she bought a primrose-printed flask from Pike Place Market), practising belly breathing for 5 minutes before sleep, and eating a high-protein breakfast. Elena took notes in an old leather journal she bought at a market; her handwriting, initially shaky, gradually became clear. Isabella praised her: “Your body is not the enemy; it is telling you something. Let’s listen together.”

The journey was arduous. In the second month, hormonal fluctuations made Elena irritable. She skipped exercise and ate sporadically. One evening, she video called Sophia: “Sweetie, I’m trying, but it’s so hard.” Sophia, now 20, sounded concerned: “Mum, I’m proud that you’re trying. That app is great, but you are the one doing the work. I’ll come to visit you at the end of the month.”

In the fourth month, Elena attended an online seminar on “Perimenopause & Emotional Resilience” suggested by Isabella via the platform. Midway through, the Seattle rain cut the internet and the seminar lagged. Elena didn’t wait; she put on her raincoat and walked alone in Discovery Park. In the cold wind, amidst the scent of wet pine, she sat on a stone bench and wrote in her journal: “I cannot depend entirely on anyone. I must stand up for myself.” Back home, she shared this with Isabella: “I went for a walk alone and wrote. I feel lighter.” Isabella replied: “That is the catalyst, Elena. I am merely the motivation.”

A major event occurred in the fifth month. Elena woke up with intense chest pain, numb arms, and a racing heart. Terror surged—she thought of her mother, who had suffered from heart issues. Instead of panicking alone as she would have done before, she opened the app and pressed the emergency alert in her Personal Care Team. Isabella responded within 8 minutes: “Elena, stay calm. This could be anxiety combined with perimenopause, but we won’t ignore it. I’m connecting you with Dr Marcus Hale, an American cardiologist on the platform.” There was a slight delay due to time zones, but while waiting, Elena measured her own blood pressure (with an old machine she bought last year) and breathed according to the rhythm Isabella had taught her. Dr Hale instructed her to go to A&E if necessary. It turned out to be a severe panic attack caused by sleep deprivation and caffeine, but Elena’s self-awareness and proactive effort helped her handle it calmly, avoiding an unnecessary hospital admission.

Isabella called back later: “You did very well by connecting immediately and looking after yourself. That is why I am here—not to replace a doctor, but to connect and support you in time.”

Six months passed. Elena’s skin was brighter thanks to an omega-3 rich diet and better sleep. She lost 15 pounds naturally, without forcing it. Every morning, she woke up early, brewed herbal tea, wrote in her journal, and walked around the lake. She requested to work part-time in her marketing job, focusing on meaningful projects regarding women’s health. She began weekly video calls with Sophia, and laughter returned. Lisa came over for coffee: “You look completely different. StrongBody AI was the bridge, but you were the one who walked across it.”

One Saturday afternoon, Elena hosted a small dinner at home. Sophia flew in from Portland, along with Lisa and Sarah—a 50-year-old yoga teacher and neighbour who had once invited Elena to a free class in the park. On the table were quinoa salad, grilled salmon, and homemade matcha cake. The scent of herbs filled the air, accompanied by soft music from the speakers. Elena raised her glass of honey lemon water: “Thank you, everyone. StrongBody AI helped me connect with experts, but it was those solo walks, those journal entries, and the calls with my daughter that truly kept me standing. The journey isn’t over. I’m returning to work with more purpose, thinking about starting a blog to share my story, and perhaps joining a group for middle-aged women in Seattle. Life is much larger than I thought.”

Sophia held her mother’s hand: “You’re much healthier, Mum. I just want you to be truly happy.”

Sarah smiled: “My yoga class is still waiting for you, Elena.”

Looking out the window, the rain had stopped, and a fiery red sunset glowed through the dew drops on the glass. Elena smiled, her heart feeling light. She wasn’t “completely healed”, but she had made significant progress. The journey continues—with better health, deeper relationships, and a future unfolding before her, where she actively cares for herself and spreads that light to others.

• Click the “Sign Up” button at the top right corner of the screen. The default registration form displayed is for a Buyer.
• Users enter their details, including an email address and a preferred password.
• Immediately after registration and account activation, during the first login, users will be prompted to select their Interests across various StrongBody AI sectors and choose Expert Groups within specific professional fields they wish to follow. StrongBody AI utilises these preferences to search for and match relevant services and products on the platform to the Buyer. This ensures convenience and a tailored experience when seeking to purchase services or products.
• Once these selections are made, the user can begin browsing information and conducting transactions on the platform.

Automated Matching and Information Personalisation

• A standout feature of the StrongBody AI platform is its Automatic Matching capability. After providing their interests and desired expert groups, the system automatically filters relevant service information and delivers it to the Buyer.
• Whenever a service matching the Buyer’s interests is uploaded, the system automatically sends a notification via email so the Buyer can view details and place an order.
• Information displayed on the StrongBody AI website and linked applications is synchronised with the user’s interests to provide the best informational benefits and an optimal service experience.

Modern and Convenient Buyer Account Menu

StrongBody AI provides a dedicated Menu for Buyers, ensuring ease of access and efficient management of personal information. After logging in, the top right corner of the interface will display specific menus for Buyers, including:

• My Account: Users can access this menu to go to their personal account page. This page allows for the management of all Buyer information, transactions, orders (both completed and ongoing), offers from various sellers, credit card updates, personal profile updates, login detail changes, uploaded image management, messages with other accounts, and platform notifications.
• Purchased Services: Allows quick access to the catalogue of services already ordered.
• Purchased Products: Allows quick access to the catalogue of products already ordered.
• My Request: Provides quick access to a history of sent requests.
• Received Offers: Allows Buyers to manage offers received from experts (Sellers).

Ordering and Sending Requests

The Service Purchase Process for Buyers: After logging in, Buyers can browse lists of products, services, experts, and other resources via the Top Navigation Menu, Bottom Menu, and other site content:

• Browsing Services: Services uploaded by expert accounts (Seller/Provider/Expert) are displayed on the Service page. Here, users can view service categories and detailed content for each service. Users can also use the search filter on the left-hand menu to find services based on category and specific needs.
• Viewing Service Details: Each service includes a specific description, illustrative images, pricing, and information about the provider (Seller). Service information is thoroughly explained, including tasks to be performed, technologies or techniques applied, roadmaps, and the Seller’s quality commitments to ensure Buyer trust. Buyers can also click on the Seller’s name within the service detail page to view the Seller’s full profile.
• Placing an Order: Buyers click the “Buy Now” button on the service detail page. The Buyer then proceeds to pay the service fee. This payment is held in StrongBody AI’s intermediary escrow wallet. Once the purchase is complete, order information is sent to the Seller’s account and via email to both parties to notify them that a transaction is underway, facilitating prompt order processing.

The Process for Sending a Service Request to a Seller:

• A highlight of StrongBody AI is that Buyers do not necessarily have to buy a service exactly as posted; they can send a bespoke request based on their actual needs. To send a custom request for an existing service, the Buyer uses the “Send Request” form on the service detail page. Once submitted, the Seller will be notified of a custom request corresponding to their service, which they can view in their request management dashboard.

The Public Request Process:

• Another distinctive feature of StrongBody AI is the ability to send a Public Request to multiple sellers. If a Buyer has a need but cannot find a suitable existing service or product, they can create a Public Request. This involves selecting a sector from the StrongBody AI categories and describing their requirements. The AI Smart Matching system automatically identifies potential Sellers based on expertise and requirements and forwards the Public Request to them. The Buyer can then receive multiple offers from different Sellers and choose the one that best fits their needs. This feature significantly differentiates the platform, increasing the chances for Buyers to find the best provider while motivating Sellers to improve their services and reach more clients.

Product Enquiries – Consult Request: Products shared on a Seller’s personal storefront are intended to provide information and highlight benefits. StrongBody AI allows Buyers to contact Sellers for product advice:

• On the product information page, the Buyer sends a consultation request. StrongBody AI opens the Biz Messenger (B-Messenger) window, allowing the Buyer to send an enquiry regarding a specific product. Here, the Seller and Buyer can exchange information in real-time. Any subsequent process of the Seller sending products to the Buyer is conducted directly between the two parties, rather than as a direct order on the platform. StrongBody AI ensures transaction confirmation and facilitates secure payments through integrated Stripe, PayPal, or Payoneer.

Receiving and Processing Offers

• When a Seller sends an Offer regarding a product or service, or responds to a Buyer’s request, the Buyer receives that Offer. Buyers can manage their received offers via Account Management -> Offers Menu.
• An Offer will also appear within the chat window in B-Messenger. This is a unique feature of StrongBody AI; B-Messenger is not just a communication tool but a powerful integrated business transaction tool, providing unprecedented convenience.
• Buyers can open an Offer to see full details, including the Offer name, type of service or product, tasks, timeline, delivery method, agreed terms, and the total cost. Buyers have the option to ignore or decline an Offer.
• Accepting an Offer: If the Buyer agrees, they make a payment for the Offer using PayPal or Stripe via their pre-configured credit card. The payment process is entirely secure. The funds are held in escrow by StrongBody AI.
• The Seller receives a notification that the Offer has been paid and begins the work as outlined.
• Completion: Once the work is finished, if the Buyer is satisfied with the result, they confirm the Offer as completed. The payment is then released to the Seller, minus applicable StrongBody AI transaction fees.
• If the Buyer confirms receipt without complaint, the order status is updated to “Completed”. After 15 days, the funds are transferred to the Seller’s account.
• Disputes: If the Buyer has a complaint or disagrees that the order is complete, StrongBody AI will support both parties to resolve the issue. In the event of a dispute, StrongBody AI will act based on the Offer details, chat history, images, and evidence provided to mediate and provide guidance. If a refund or cancellation is agreed upon, the corresponding amount is returned to the Buyer, and the Seller receives only the portion agreed upon by both parties.
