Hobbes is launching an AI-powered wellness coach that's fundamentally rethinking how busy professionals manage their nutrition—and it couldn't come at a more critical time, with 1 in 2 American adults facing pre-diabetes, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease.
Over a billion people have downloaded nutrition apps, yet 90% abandon them within two weeks. The problem isn't awareness—it's that existing apps fundamentally misunderstand how busy professionals actually eat and live.
Built for Real Life, Not Perfect Days
Hobbes specifically targets early to mid-career professionals in tech and consulting—people working 50+ hour weeks while juggling family responsibilities. Early beta testers include software engineers at major tech companies, management consultants traveling four days a week, and startup founders who've tried (and abandoned) every nutrition app on the market.
Three Features That Change Everything
🎯 Frictionless Voice Logging: Log meals in under 30 seconds through natural voice conversations. Just tell Hobbes what you ate like you'd tell a friend—the AI handles the rest, asking clarifying questions and providing nutritional insights without tedious database searches.
📅 Proactive Meal Planning: Instead of telling you "you have 400 calories left" after dinner, Hobbes creates personalized meal plans based on your actual eating patterns. Love protein-heavy meals? Get suggestions for hearty salads with grilled chicken. Frequently cook Asian food? See quick stir-fry options that fit your goals.
🌱 Science-Backed Habit Formation: Moving beyond pointless badges and streaks, Hobbes uses proven behavioral science to help build sustainable eating habits through achievable weekly goals, visual progress tracking, and personalized education—not punishment for eating pizza.
Why This Matters Now
Healthcare costs from metabolic dysfunction are exploding, reaching nearly $4 trillion annually. Employers desperately seek solutions as healthcare premiums skyrocket while employee productivity plummets from preventable chronic conditions.
Meanwhile, AI capabilities have finally reached the point where truly personalized, conversational health coaching is possible. What would have required a team of engineers and nutritionists two years ago can now be delivered through elegant AI-powered experiences.
Limited Beta Access Opening Soon
Hobbes launches in August 2025 with beta testing beginning in the coming weeks. Join 500+ professionals already on the waitlist for exclusive early access to experience a fundamentally different approach to nutrition coaching.
