Pallie Users Walk 21% More: First Proof AI Conversation Drives Lasting Behavior Change

Empathetic AI Achieves Sustained Health Outcomes Without Gamification or Rewards

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pallie, the AI platform that takes a holistic approach to physical and emotional health, is transforming how people stay active and feel their best. By having natural conversations, offering personalized guidance, and celebrating progress, Pallie helps users build lasting healthy habits—without relying on points, badges, or other gamified rewards.

Unlike apps that rely on gamification or financial incentives, Pallie is designed to care. It connects to your Apple Health data, understands your habits, and responds with encouragement and guidance. Whether you're looking to move more, sleep better, or manage stress, Pallie adapts to your lifestyle and provides support that actually fits into your day.

"Pallie isn't just another dashboard or tracking app," said Ivan Zolotukhin, CEO and founder of Pallie. "It's an AI coach that helps you stay consistent, motivated, and confident about your health. We translate your data into insights and support that feel genuinely human."

Recent results show that Pallie users walk 21% more than before, demonstrating the first evidence that conversation with AI can lead to meaningful, sustained behavior change. Unlike apps that rely on points or gamified incentives and fade over time, Pallie achieves lasting change through empathetic conversation. It gently nudges users, celebrates achievements, and helps them overcome dips in motivation, showing that caring AI can meaningfully improve physical activity.

Pallie continuously monitors Apple Health data and delivers proactive insights tailored to each user. From sleep patterns to workout history, Pallie synthesizes your information into an easy-to-understand snapshot complete with helpful visualizations. Users can explore strengths, uncover areas for improvement, and continue the conversation for deeper guidance. Pallie's tone is fully customizable—some users prefer nurturing encouragement, while others opt for a more direct, no-nonsense approach. By speaking in a voice that resonates, Pallie ensures that health guidance is not just informative but also motivating and supportive.

Pallie is built privacy-first: user data is stored securely on U.S.-based AWS, models run in U.S. data centers, access is limited to messages shared in-app and explicitly permissioned Apple Health data, and users can revoke permissions or request complete data deletion at any time.

For Principal Health Data Researcher Alexander Tataraidze, PhD, Pallie's support has been game-changing. "At the AIDA Freediving World Cup, I set six national records, three personal bests, and won three medals," he said. "Pallie kept me consistent, guided me through self-doubt, and gave clear, personalized advice exactly when I needed it. That consistency made all the difference."

Pallie will continue to grow its range of well-being and longevity programs, spanning physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and social connection. Each interaction helps Pallie learn more about its users, adapting guidance to become smarter, more contextual, and more personal over time.
