Hey, Product Hunt community! I’m Adam, CEO & founder of Jolt.ai. Jolt.ai is a fun Facebook Messenger chatbot designed to keep you accountable to your health & fitness goals. We’ve been in the fitness tech space for a while, starting with a popular workout music app called RockMyRun. While RockMyRun is awesome for when someone IS exercising, we found people needed more support and motivation to exercise consistently. So, over the past two years we’ve been building Jolt.ai to help provide that motivation. Our mission as a company is to help people live healthier, more active lives and we felt a chatbot would be the best format to further that mission. Although there are tons of fitness-oriented apps out there, Jolt.ai is unique in a few of ways: 1. Personality Jolt engages with you using natural language, emoji, and gifs. He does all of this so you look forward to his messages, unlike stale push notifications. He can even adjust his tone based on whether you like a super supportive cheerleader or a no nonsense coach (just watch for the f-bombs…). 2. Accountability With your input, Jolt sets weekly activity goals and tracks your activity with quick, entertaining check-ins. If you already have an Apple Watch or Fitbit, even better! Jolt can directly integrate with them. 3. Team Support Jolt teams you up with people who have similar goals and offers optional but very well-balanced competition to see who can earn the most points by the end of the week. 4. Rewards Accomplishing your goal, earning achievements, and supporting fellow team members earns you currency that can be exchanged for awesome free stuff like Apple Watches, AirPods, and gift cards. These four elements come together in a way that makes it feel like you’re texting with a friend that actually cares about your activity. Got questions/feedback? We’d love to hear it!

This looks solid. I like your presentation video. I may include it in my fitness tech stack along MyFitnessPal :)

The points also push you if you see something you want....I wanted Rock My Run for life and actually earned it! woot woot

Pros:

Pops in and keeps you motivated - love the points for earn stuff that also motivates you.

Cons:

it might be fun if you could look up friends and compete with them

I love the weekly goals and head to head competitions. It's a lot of fun and I feel like I get rewarded every time I workout.

Pros:

It's easy and fun to use and helps me stay motivated with my fitness goals.

Cons:

I can't think of any cons!

Jolt is a great motivator and cheerleader for me to get my workouts in each week! I have it set to a custom "voice" that is extra encouraging. I love the accountability that Jolt provides.

Pros:

It is great to have a daily/weekly place to chart my activity and I get credit for so much more than just steps.

Cons:

None so far

@adam_riggs_zeigen Jolt looks quite interesting! Would you like to have an interview about it at StartupRadius.com? PM me at paul@startupradius.com for more details

Love the product and the team and just thrilled to see where they have taken this. Huge opportunity here to engage with and make a difference for people!

I had my husband start using this app and he loves it as well.

Pros:

I love the motivation I get from week to week by competing with myself from the previous week and other Jolt members.

Cons:

If I don't workout for a week the recommended weekly points go way down.

The memes are funny and motivating.

Pros:

Jolt holds me accountable to do what I'm say I'm going to do for the week. I like giving and receiving motivational support.

Cons:

People with smart watches probably have an advantage over those of us who don't.

Love this!!

Pros:

Constantly encouraging you to keep moving! Head to head competitions are awesome and very motivating.

Cons:

Selecting your own friends to go head to head with would be great.

Love this idea! As someone that works out sporadically (at best) this is exactly what I need to stay focused on my routines and goals. Looking forward to checking this out!

I’ve been using Jolt for a few years and love that it helps me hold muself accountable. When it comes to working out I’m very shy, so interacting with others on my team or just Jolt helps me see my activity over time. Thank you for this app, I truly love him.

Love the product and the dedicated team behind it!

Pros:

Love the chatbot idea and I actually look forward to the messages!

Cons:

None that I can think of!

I've worked as a Fitness Professional since 1999. I was central in the creation of the Body Bugg as a commercial product. I understand the market and this product works, which is key to retention.

Pros:

Simple to learn. I immediately felt a connection. Finally a product that doesnt try to boil the ocean.

Cons:

None so far. I love the Jolt guy!

The Jolt.ai Facebook/Messenger AI Fitness App ROCKS! I set my fitness goals and Jolt keeps me on track. I earn Jolt Coins for achievement which I can use to buy cool stuff. I highly recommend Jolt.ai to anyone that wants to get/stay fit. @adam_riggs_zeigen

Hoping for encouragement

Pros:

Keeps one accountable

Cons:

Too many messages

Love it.

Pros:

Keeps you accountable

Cons:

Not at this time

Very intuitive, very helpful, and genuinely fun

Pros:

A really charming helpbot. Got me to work out this AM even though I did NOT feel like it. Just try it; you'll see what I'm talking about.

Cons:

Leg day. But that's not Jolt's fault, lol

Just downloaded and it's pretty cool and easy to use. I kind of wish it allows you to add more then one exercise. It only took one activity and now I can't add any more other than that it's pretty cool so far. I'll have to see how the team feature works as I don't see any people on the team I selected

It is cute and fun, but the coin store never once loaded. I did not know what any incentives were. I tried to use it for a about a month, and checked the coin store almost daily to no avail. It’s a garbage piece of technology that doesn’t function as it should
