Kicker: An AI Health Agent for Habits, Sleep and Workouts
Kicker is an AI app that calls itself “the first personal health agent.” It connects to wearables like Oura, WHOOP and Fitbit, plus your Gmail, calendar and notes, and uses all of it to plan your meals, workouts and sleep. Then it acts on your schedule: it picks the three things that matter most today, blocks time for the gym, and moves meetings later after a rough night. It’s made by Companion Intelligence Inc. in San Francisco and works as an iPhone app with a character you can dress up.
The quick answer: Kicker stands out because it treats your calendar as part of your health, rather than coaching you in isolation. It’s subscription-based after a seven-day free trial, and it’s young: the iPhone app launched in April 2026. A disclosure: we make Carly, an AI assistant that manages calendars and email, so there’s some overlap on the scheduling side. We’ve stuck to Kicker’s own pages.

What Kicker does
Kicker’s homepage describes it as “your little AI buddy for building healthier habits, staying motivated, and pushing you past your excuses.” Its examples show how it mixes health and scheduling:
- Daily priorities. “Kicker picks the 3 things that matter most today and keeps you on track.”
- Workouts. “Kicker checks your gym and blocks time so you actually show up.”
- Recovery. After a late night, Kicker moves your meetings to the afternoon “so you can ease into your day.”
Every plan includes a daily health plan that “tailors your meals, workouts and sleep to how you’re doing,” unlimited chats with long-term memory, connections to Gmail, Calendar, Notion and Reminders, wearable sync with Apple Health, WHOOP and Oura, and a gamified side where you dress up your Kicker.
The pitch is personal. “Most AI only cares about your productivity and your work. Kicker is the one that actually cares about your life and your health.”
How it learns what you need
According to Kicker’s FAQ, “conversations, preferences and data from the devices and apps you connect give Kicker context,” which helps it understand your routines and suggest habits that fit. You sign in with your phone number or Google, then connect devices and apps, or skip that and add them later in Workspace.
On its About page, Kicker says it has “built an adaptive harness and model stack that learns from users’ preferences and becomes more personalized over time.” It has also partnered with supplement suppliers to make personalized health support part of everyday life, and says it’s researching “safe recursive self-improvement” for personal health agents.
Plans
Kicker’s pricing page says every plan starts with a seven-day free trial, with no credit card required, and that subscriptions are purchased and managed in the app.
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Weekly | $3.99 a week |
| Monthly | $14.99 a month |
| Yearly | $119.88 a year (about $9.99 a month) |
All plans include the same features. Kicker’s FAQ adds that you can create an account and connect devices and apps for free, and that paid plans are shown before you subscribe.
The team
Kicker doesn’t name its founders on its site, but its About page describes the team’s track record: a game studio that reached a million users and $4 million in annual recurring revenue, an AI video platform built to $30 million in annual revenue, an image generation evaluation paper highlighted by Andrej Karpathy, and more than 40 papers at NeurIPS, ICML and ACL, with one team member a principal investigator at McGill University.
Kicker says it’s “trusted by 150,000+ people.” Its iPhone app, KickerAI, was released in April 2026 and had 21 ratings on the App Store when we checked. The user figure is Kicker’s own.
Privacy
Kicker’s FAQ addresses data directly. It “uses what you share in chat and information from devices and apps you choose to connect,” and you can remove connections in Workspace. You can delete your account, connections and history from your settings, or email support for other data requests.
Because Kicker combines health data with your email and calendar, read its privacy policy before connecting everything, and connect only what you want it to use.
How Kicker compares
Kicker sits between two categories. Health coaching apps like Bevel focus on interpreting wearable data, and AI assistants manage calendars and email. Kicker’s difference is that it does both and links them, letting your sleep and recovery decide how your day is scheduled. Bo AI, a texting assistant that also coaches on sleep and nutrition from Oura and Apple Health, is the closest comparison, and we cover it in our Bo AI explainer.
If your scheduling problem is more about work than recovery, Carly is built for that side. It handles advanced scheduling across your calendars, labels and sorts email across all your Gmail and Outlook accounts by your rules, and makes and answers phone calls and texts, from inside ChatGPT or Claude or by text.

Who Kicker suits
Kicker is a good fit if:
- You wear an Oura, WHOOP or Fitbit and want coaching that turns that data into a daily plan.
- You like the idea of your calendar adjusting around your sleep and workouts.
- You enjoy a friendly, gamified companion rather than a dashboard.
Look elsewhere if:
- You don’t use a wearable and mostly need help with work scheduling or email.
- You want a long track record. The iPhone app launched in 2026.
- You’d rather not combine health data with your email and calendar in one app.

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."
