Everything Chalzy Can Help You Do

From automatic challenge creation to leaderboards, white-label branding, and built-in live video — here's every feature that helps you create, launch, and grow with challenges.

Chalzy is a purpose-built challenge marketing platform. Every feature below exists to help creators, coaches, and businesses launch challenges faster, engage participants longer, and convert more of them into customers — without stitching together a dozen separate tools.

Done For You

Chalzy Does the Heavy Lifting

From generating entire challenges to creating custom images and marketing materials, Chalzy saves you hours of work.

Automatic Challenge Creation

Describe your challenge idea, set duration and preferences, and Chalzy generates a complete challenge — title, description, daily content, assignments, and images.

Day Content Generation

Generate or regenerate content for individual days or all days at once. Replace or append to existing content with a click.

Automatic Image Generation

Get custom hero images and day-specific visuals generated for you. Hero images include your challenge name and a Join Now button. Refine images with follow-up prompts.

Idea & Outline Generation

Get suggested challenge ideas, titles, and descriptions. Generate structured outlines with day titles, summaries, and assignments — preview before committing.

Marketing Assistant

Generate ad campaigns, social media posts, article ideas, and hashtag suggestions — with custom images for each. Ready to copy and promote.

Website Analysis

During onboarding, Chalzy analyzes your website to extract your business profile, brand colors, and generate tailored challenge ideas automatically.

Builder

Challenge Builder

Two ways to create challenges, plus a powerful step-by-step editor for full control over every detail.

Two Ways to Create

Let Chalzy generate the whole challenge end-to-end, or start from scratch with the guided builder for full manual control.

Step-by-Step Editor

Six guided steps: Details, Media, Days, Settings, Marketing, and Participants. Rich text editing with bold, italic, lists, links, and code blocks.

Rich Media Support

Upload images, search stock photos, or let Chalzy generate them. Add YouTube, Vimeo, or direct video uploads. Automatic thumbnail fetching.

Drag-and-Drop Days

Add, edit, reorder, and delete individual challenge days with drag-and-drop. Each day gets its own content, assignment, media, and optional live video.

Auto-Save

Changes save automatically with debouncing — no save button needed. Never lose your work while building.

Scheduling

Flexible Scheduling

Run challenges on any cadence — or let participants go at their own pace.

Multiple Intervals

Daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or custom intervals. Set the exact number of days between each task.

Self-Paced Mode

All days unlock immediately. Participants complete at their own speed, and the challenge runs indefinitely until you unpublish.

Publish & Schedule

Publish immediately, schedule a future date/time, or cancel a pending publication. Participants are notified automatically.

Auto-Expiration

Challenges automatically expire after their duration ends. Self-paced challenges stay open until manually unpublished.

Gamification

Gamification & Engagement

Leaderboards, points, streaks, and teams keep participants motivated and coming back every day.

Leaderboards

Completion-based or points-based leaderboards. Configurable day completion points, streak bonuses, and early completion bonuses. Gold, silver, and bronze medals for the top 3.

Teams

Participants create or join teams. Configurable team sizes, captain assignment, team avatars, and a team leaderboard with average completion rates.

Streaks & Progress

Visual progress bar, streak tracking, point accumulation, and confetti celebrations when participants complete a day or the entire challenge.

Accountability Engine

The Accountability Engine

Every challenge runs on it: automatic check-ins, comeback messages when someone slips, and feedback on every submission — all in your voice, with zero setup. It already knows your challenge, because Chalzy built it.

Personalized Daily Check-ins

Each participant gets a morning check-in in your voice, referencing that day's actual task, their streak, and the goal they stated when they joined — timed to their timezone.

Comeback Messages

Miss a day and the message that follows is a fresh start, not a guilt trip: one small next action to get back on track. Broken streaks get acknowledged and reframed — participants who come back finish.

Feedback on Every Submission

When a participant submits written work, they get specific, encouraging feedback in your voice within minutes — referencing what they actually wrote. The most personal touchpoint in the product, at any cohort size. (Pro and up.)

Milestone Celebrations

Streaks, halfway points, and finishes get celebrated automatically — and the final-day message bridges finishers straight to your next offer.

At-Risk Alerts

Know who's slipping before they're gone. When participants miss multiple days, you get a digest naming who, why, and a suggested intervention for each — only when the list actually changes. (Pro and up.)

Guardrails Built In

Hard caps on messages per day, quiet hours in each participant's timezone, one-click pause for participants, and a per-challenge off switch for you. Helpful, never spammy.

Sequences

Challenge Sequences

Chain multiple challenges into guided journeys — perfect for funnels, onboarding programs, and progressive learning paths.

Ordered Challenge Groups

Create a defined progression of challenges. Participants move through each challenge in order with visual progress indicators.

Two Gating Modes

Enforced mode requires completion before unlocking the next challenge. Suggested mode shows all challenges but recommends an order.

Sequence Progress Bar

Visual indicator shows all challenges with status — completed, current, locked, or not started. Celebration banner on full sequence completion.

Live Video

Built-In Live Video

Host live sessions directly within challenge days — no third-party tools needed.

Tiered Packages

Light (60 min), Standard (150 min), or Extended (300 min). Upgrade to a higher package at any time.

Recording

Optional session recording so participants can watch later. Free for Business tier, add-on for others.

Broadcast Controls

Go Live button, elapsed time tracking, and remaining minutes counter. Schedule live sessions for specific challenge days.

Participants

A polished experience from joining to completion — with sharing built in.

Easy Joining

Social Sharing

Share modal with copyable URL. One-click sharing to Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and Pinterest with auto-generated hashtags from challenge keywords.

Private Access

Create private challenges restricted by access code. Control who can see and participate in your challenges.

Built-in Accountability

Personalized check-ins, comeback messages after a missed day, and milestone celebrations arrive automatically — in the creator's voice. Motivation stays high, drop-off stays low.

Create & Join Teams

Participants form or join teams to compete together. Shared progress and team leaderboards turn challenges into a group effort.

A personal progress view with completed days, streaks, and points earned — so participants always know where they stand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions creators, coaches, and teams ask most often about Chalzy.

Does Chalzy really build a full challenge from a single description?
Yes. Describe your challenge, pick a target audience, duration, and a few preferences, and Chalzy generates the challenge title, description, daily content (including tasks and context), day-by-day assignments, a hero image, and day-specific visuals. You can regenerate or edit any part before publishing.
What are my options for creating a challenge?
Two ways: (1) Automatic — describe the idea and Chalzy generates the whole challenge end-to-end; (2) From Scratch — use the step-by-step builder to design each day manually. You can mix approaches inside a single challenge.
Can I charge for challenges or keep them free?
Both. Challenges can be public (free join with email), private (access code required), or paid (integrated with Stripe). Free and private challenges include upsell slots so you can convert participants to paid offers during or after the challenge.
What scheduling options does Chalzy support?
Daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, custom-interval, or self-paced. Self-paced unlocks all days immediately so participants go at their own speed. Scheduled challenges release one day at a time on the cadence you set, with automatic expiration when the challenge duration ends.
How does image generation work?
Chalzy generates custom imagery for every challenge. Hero images include your challenge name and a Join Now button rendered right into the image. Interval images are clean visuals without text overlays. You can refine any image with a follow-up prompt until it matches your vision.
Do you support live video?
Yes. Live video is built in via tiered packages: Light (60 min), Standard (150 min), and Extended (300 min). Recording is free on the Business tier and available as an add-on otherwise. If you need more minutes, upgrade to a bigger package at any time.
What is the Accountability Engine?
The Accountability Engine is Chalzy's built-in system for getting participants to the finish line. It sends each participant a personalized daily check-in referencing that day's actual task, a supportive comeback message if they miss a day, milestone celebrations, and — on Pro plans and up — specific feedback on submitted work within minutes, all written in the creator's voice. Creators get at-risk alerts naming who's slipping and a suggested intervention for each. It requires zero setup because Chalzy generated the challenge and already knows every day's content, and it's bounded by guardrails: message caps, timezone-aware quiet hours, and one-click pause for participants.
How do leaderboards, points, and teams work?
Leaderboards can be completion-based or points-based. Points are earned for day completion, streaks, and early completion — all configurable. Teams let participants compete together with captain-assigned groups and a team leaderboard showing average completion rates. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are automatically awarded to the top 3.
Can I connect Chalzy to my email tool?
Chalzy sends its own lifecycle emails (published, scheduled, daily reminders, completion) via its built-in email system — no external ESP required. Participant lists can be exported for import into Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Klaviyo, or any other ESP.
What happens on the Chalzy free trial?
14 days of full Pro access. A credit card is required to start, but you won't be charged until the trial ends. You can create, publish, and run a real challenge during the trial, and cancel any time before it ends if you decide not to continue.
Can my team work in Chalzy together?
Yes. Four roles: Owner (full access), Admin (everything except billing), Editor (create and edit content), and Participant (view only). Invite team members via email with live invite status tracking.
