AI chatbot from the future that reads your tracker data, predicts your future productivity, sleep, and wellness, and interprets your data to nudge you into better behavior.
Hi everyone, I am Sasha, the maker of Personalytics 👋. The team and I are uber-excited to unveil this almost sci-fi product on Product Hunt. We are happy to contribute towards something worthy: human well-being.
How it works is easy: quickly connect your wearable, and just start getting wellness insights. With each new day of data collected, you unlock new insights.
Specifically, this is what you can expect:
Day 1: Quick Setup; First Self-Tracking
Day 2+: Smart Sleep Recap; Sleep Quality Prediction
Day 3+: Daily Insight (streaks, alarms, records)
Day 4+: Productivity Prediction
Day 5+: Optimal time to go to bed & wake up
Day 7+: Weekly Wellness Dashboard
Day 8+: “Your Best Day” Description
Day 9+: Your Actual Day vs “Your Best Day”
It is time to start benefitting from all this data we anyways collect but don’t use.
A lot of cutting-edge science and modern ethics went into this product. I’d love to share key ideas and principles we were inspired by:
*Mindful tech*: this technology was created to work for your benefit, not detriment. It won’t strip you off your attention or secretly make you click on things. Or let’s put it straight: it won’t steal your precious lifetime or make you half-asleep as if you were in the Matrix. For example, we do use the infamous dopamine-releasing “habit-forming loops” to make you stick to self-tracking which has been associated with better health outcomes. But not to make you click on ads or mindlessly scroll the newsfeed. Our tech works for you, not against you.
*AI & big data*: our brains can’t process big data but machines can. For example, we make resolutions and promises to ourselves but fail to stick to them. Big data can explain why by revealing the choices we actually make when nobody is watching. When we become aware of these choices, we make a mental note and start changing. We have applied big data analytics to take advantage of this phenomenon.
*Behavioral science + mindfulness*: we are under no illusion that behavior change is quick and easy. That’s why we leverage the latest behavioral science to maximize your chances for success. Change towards more productivity or mental health happens only after we become aware of our current state. Ask any buddhist or behaviorist. Personalytics creates change through nudging you into mindful living and mindful habits. Science backs it up too.
*Integral wellness & the future of healthcare*: just like functional medicine does, we believe that modern healthcare is too much about quick fixes and not about the underlying causes. We believe that healthy sleep, exercise, mental peace, nutrition is the 20% of the effort that yields 80% of health outcomes. The future of healthcare and wellness is 4P: personalized, predictive, participatory, and preventive. Our product checks each of the 4Ps and more.
*Data and privacy*: we believe in data privacy and that your data belongs only to you. We are not selling your data to any party and will never do. Read more about our policy on our website.
Finally, a shoutout to people who made this product possible or influenced it, I love you guys! @max@albrrtt@fedor_erashev@erik2048@maneesh@konstantin_maslennikov
@chrisdancy1@alexander_konstantinov Let me take a stab at this: this amulet is called "nazar" in Arabic which translates to an array of words related to observation (!), glancing, gazing etc. In many countries all over the globe such as Turkey, Morocco, Iran, a physical amulet looking like this 🧿 is believed to deflect the "evil eye", or the "bad energy" coming from people not wishing good. For example, when a baby is born in Turkey, it is customary to put it on the entry door.
Now for why I use it as my logo (which is what I suppose you alluded to). Apart from being a widely known symbol (and even an international emoji) that opens up funky possibilities like using it in-text (🧿), here is why I really chose it. My app helps people get better wellness through self-tracking, self-awareness, and self-OBSERVATION. The chatbot assistant makes people aware of (un)healthy choices they make daily, and hence brings them closer to the goals we all want but all struggle with: better sleep, healthier nutrition, regular exercise, absence of high stress / anxiety. So the amulet meaning "observation" is used as a logo of a product that is built on the premise that self-observation leads to better health outcomes. We provide some scientific support for that on our website: https://www.personalytics.me/our...
Hope this helps to explain why I chose the beautiful 🧿 symbol as my logo 😬 Happy to share more!
I'm always interested in learning more about myself and using that data for self-improvement. I appreciate @alexander_konstantinov's thoughtfulness in building out the first version of this product. I have to admit, I took the blue pill on the landing page 💙
@pollock@dmitriy_dubovik Thanks for asking! Exist, Gyroscope, and Lark are the only similar projects worth mentioning. They are all subscription-based, and Lark is super expensive. We beat each one of them on multiple fronts. The most important being value to the user, i.e. actionable insights where all of them don't make the cut IMHO. Here is a comparative table we made some time ago: https://drive.google.com/file/d/...

@pollock@dmitriy_dubovik@alexander_konstantinov Hi, great product. Did you pay to Google for Google Fit connection? They charge from $15K to ++++ for their own research of your app to be linked with their platform, don't they?
@fedor_erashev Thank you 🙏 First, these apps usually give us just data points, not the interpretation of the data which is where the value is. If there is no "so-what", data points have little value. Second, no apps to my knowledge give predictions for the future, this is our know-how. I think knowing your future is kind of cool 😎 Three, these apps have very limited data scopes (usually sleep + steps) which doesn't allow them to interrelate things. A lot of value comes from having depth of data because it allows to explain, and predict. Finally, these are mostly hardware companies that they don't focus on software, they core is selling the devices.

Congrats to the team! Well done and keep pace! Curious to know a bit more about pricing conditions — is it free or do you guys charge a subscription for it?
@albrrtt Thank you 🙏 It is free now and for life. We'd love for everyone to reap the benefits of this product and we really believe in it. Importantly, our business model will never be to sell user's data.

@alexander_konstantinov Thanks for your answer. Then could you please elaborate a bit more on Personalytics business model?
@alexander_konstantinov@albrrtt so far, we are just allowing a big batch of users into the system. What I know for sure is that we will never sell user data.

Wellness and tech together? Wow! I can’t think of a better time to track my sleep, steps, and productivity. I have always been very conscious of my well-being and this looks like an excellent tool to do it. Having a dashboard with all the data may help me find and stick to an even healthier lifestyle. Does it work well with Garmin? Thank you and congrats!
@brenda_kuri Oh, on the Garmin question: 100%, we support Garmin. Their app may be a bit capricious in terms of data sync but the hardest thing is that you might need to open the app once in a while to sync the data with Personalytics.
Congrats on the launch!
Big fan of the concept of using chatbots to help users change their behavior.
Is there a reason why you chose both FB Messenger and Google Fit? Google has a track record of sharing too much health information with its partnerships as seen with what happened with Ascension.
Do you plan on integrating your service with HealthKit and Apple Health any time soon?
@loslivs Thank you Carlos. We are fans of this concept too. After having built one ourselves, even more. So much to say in favor of a chatbot as opposed to a mobile app! Do you mind sharing some successful examples of chatbots like that that come to mind?
Wow, great questions! Let me take them one by one.
FB messenger was chosen mainly for 2 reasons: one, it is simply the most used messenger platform in the US (correct me if I am wrong), and two, we use Chatfuel platform for the bot and it is much better on FB than on Telegram. Any other thoughts on this?
Google Fit: that's a tricky one. So in the nutshell to support all wearable, it is most effective to connect to Apple Health and Google Fit for iOS & Android. The issue with Apple Health is that they don't allow web apps to connect to their API, only iOS apps. We'd need an iOS app just to connect to the data, and we even built it, and so did Exist.io, a competitor. However, it is an empty shell unless we decide to move the whole product to an app. Simple solution - there is a Google Fit app for iOS. It syncs to Apple Health, Apple Health syncs to the tracker, and everything works (almost always) smoothly.
Not sure what happened with Ascension, will google that! In short, depending on third parties is never good in the long run so maybe we will gravitate towards an app after all. Trying to build our architecture accordingly...
HealthKit / Apple Health - de facto, we're integrated, as explained above.
Thank you for asking Carlos, really! 🤗
