It’s a Kickstarter campaign that aimed to reach a goal of $100,000 and surprisingly, it reached that amount in just 90 minutes as soon as it was introduced last June. The money raised for the project was even doubled in just 24 hours after the campaign started. Just goes to show that people are eager to have their own personal trainer.
So what does one get in this AI personal trainer?

It has real-time insights and can guide you throughout your workout. It even motivates you to improve and do better. Vi recognizes commands and questions as well – responding to questions such as “how’s my heart rate?” The personal trainer was designed to be sweat proof and non-slip so that you don’t have to worry about losing it along the way.
While it is still recommended for runners, the developers are currently working on making it available for swimmers and bikers.
