Bo AI: The Texting Assistant for Your Schedule and Health
Bo AI is a personal assistant you text. Its makers say it helps you “stay organized, save time, live healthier, and answer your questions,” all by text. In practice that means a morning brief with your weather, calendar, inbox and headlines; booking and moving meetings by message; reminders; and coaching on sleep, activity and nutrition using data from Apple Health, Oura and other trackers. It works in iMessage, with a companion iPhone app, and is made by Bo Labs, Inc.
The quick answer: Bo is a friendly, health-leaning texting assistant. It’s strongest if you want one thread for your daily schedule and your fitness data, and it says it has helped more than 30,000 people. It offers a free service with paid plans priced at signup. A disclosure: we make Carly, another assistant you can text, so we’re in the same space. We’ve stuck to what Bo’s own site, policies and App Store listing say.

What Bo does
Bo’s homepage walks through its main uses with sample conversations:
- Morning briefs. Ask for “a morning brief every day at 7am with weather, my calendar, inbox, and top headlines,” and Bo sends one each morning, including notable emails such as a flight time change.
- Calendar. Connect your calendar, then book meetings and move them by text (“push it to 3PM”), with invites sent to attendees.
- Activity and steps. Connect Strava and set goals like 10,000 steps a day, and Bo nudges you when you’re behind.
- Sleep. Connect Oura and Bo sends a daily sleep summary with your sleep score, deep and REM sleep, and readiness.
- Nutrition. Log meals by text, get calories and macros back, and ask for suggestions that fit your targets.
- Reminders. Daily reminders for anything, including medications and supplements.
The iPhone app is “your window into everything Bo tracks, plans, and coaches you through,” according to its App Store listing. Recent updates added a Health Journey card showing today’s sleep, steps, nutrition and hydration, side-by-side sleep data from Apple Health and Oura with heart rate and HRV, and a “Quality Life Hours” view that estimates the time Bo saves you.
Bo says it has exchanged more than 10 million messages and is “helping 30K+ save time.” Those are the company’s figures.
A health assistant at heart
Bo’s legal documents are clearer about its focus than its homepage. Its terms of service describe it as “an AI-powered health, fitness & life assistant delivered via text message,” and its privacy policy is written around health data.
That policy defines health data broadly, including “weight, height, body measurements, dietary preferences, allergies, medical conditions,” activity levels and exercise history. With your permission, Bo imports data from apps and devices including Apple Health, WHOOP, Oura and Garmin, “solely for the purpose of importing health information to enhance your coaching experience.”
Bo is careful about what that coaching is. Its terms state in capitals that “Bo is NOT a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment,” and that it doesn’t guarantee results like weight loss or improved fitness. Its homepage examples include reminders for supplements and prescription medications, so it’s worth treating Bo as a reminder and tracking tool rather than a source of medical guidance.
Plans
Bo operates on a subscription basis, with “subscription fees, billing cycles, and payment terms” shown on its website and during signup rather than on a public pricing page. Its help center says access to Bo’s free service is separate from paid billing, so check which you’re on in your subscription page. Bo handles sign-in with a code texted to your phone number.
Privacy
Because Bo deals with health information, its privacy policy, last updated May 21, 2026, is worth a read before you connect trackers. It explains what health data Bo collects, which third-party health apps it imports from, and how that data is used. Apple’s App Store listing shows that Bo Labs indicated its app may handle health and fitness data.
If you’re comfortable sharing your Apple Health or Oura data with a coaching service, Bo is built to make use of it. If not, you can still use Bo for scheduling and reminders without connecting trackers.
How Bo compares
Bo is one of several assistants that live in your text messages, alongside Poke, Tomo, Boski and others. Our roundups of AI assistants you can text and Poke alternatives compare several. Bo’s distinguishing feature is health: few texting assistants pull in Oura, Apple Health and Strava and coach you on sleep and nutrition.
Carly overlaps with Bo on the planning side. You can text it, and it labels and sorts email across all your Gmail and Outlook accounts by rules you set, handles advanced scheduling, and makes and answers phone calls and texts, the same way every time, from inside ChatGPT or Claude too. If your days are run by your inbox and calendar more than your fitness tracker, our guide to the best AI personal assistants covers that side.
Who Bo suits
Bo is a good fit if:
- You want daily briefs, reminders and calendar changes by text.
- You already track sleep and activity with Oura, Apple Health or Strava and want coaching on top.
- You like the idea of one conversation that covers both your schedule and your health.
Look elsewhere if:
- You need heavy email management, such as sorting and labeling across several accounts.
- You’d rather not share health data with an assistant.
- You want published prices before you sign up.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
