Jolt.ai - The best fitness accountability partner you've ever had

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.
