Your custom AI for wellness, goals, and growth.
Your custom AI for wellness, goals, and growth.
Aneu provides a single, streamlined place to build, track, and manage everything related to your personal and professional development through a collaborative relationship.
Users are paired with a contextually aware AI companion with long-term memory, deep integrations into existing productivity and health tools, and autonomous agent capabilities to proactively take action and make recommendations based on user needs. They turn simple chats into detailed growth plans across fitness & nutrition, professional development, and mental wellness.
Our existing beta allows users to collaborate with their AI via text and voice calls. Our AIs create personalized journaling sessions, autonomously design and break down goals, easily track workouts & macronutrients, and provide highly personalized guidance.
We plan to launch a mobile app on iOS this summer with an expanded suite of habit and health-tracking capabilities, detailed growth insights, data visualization tools, nutritional tracking via photo, and integrations with third-party services. There’s also the potential for dedicated hardware (as a wearable accessory) that our users have expressed interest in.
Randy and Josh live in Los Angeles, USA while Derek lives in Calgary, Canada. Our company is flexible in where we would be based, with a strong interest in LA and SF.
Randy and Josh have worked together on political projects serving the communities of the City of Long Beach under Mayor Robert Garcia. Projects including writing policies on health equity funding for underserved communities.
Randy and Josh have been close friends for over five years, originating from our roles as communication officers in the Office of Mayor Robert Garcia in Long Beach. Following their collaboration in communications and legislative affairs, our partnership shifted towards supporting local businesses through strategic consultancy in business development. Randy & Josh were introduced to Derek through the YC Co‑Founder Matching program, and since December 2023, we've become good friends and a capable trio in constant communication with one another. We’re all looking forward to meeting in person next month when we fly Derek to SoCal for a multi-day product development session.
We're currently in public beta with over 100 users. We actively utilize channels such as TikTok, LinkedIn, IndieHackers, and Reddit to grow organically. Additionally, we conduct multiple customer interviews weekly and deliver updates to our existing users based on their feedback.
Our plan is to launch our paid product in early summer, based on the validation of our current features and the integration of new ones. Once we've obtained enough validation from our current users and have implemented our hands-free and third-party integration features, we will proceed with the launch of our paid plan.
Randy started working on this part-time last summer, transitioning to full-time in October 2023. Josh started part-time in October and full-time beginning in November. Derek began working full-time in January.
We have over 100 users, with 15 people using Aneu multiple times throughout the day.
In the last 10 years, the number of people who believe they're living their worst possible life has increased by 375%. Despite an explosion of access to tools in the wellness space, fitness and mental health issues have continued to rise rapidly. Meanwhile, less than half of college graduates now end up in industries related to their degrees - and when they do find work, companies struggle to engage with their younger workforce.
All of this is occurring against a backdrop of a booming wellness market and an ambitious young generation that wants to tackle global challenges - yet feel increasingly pessimistic about being able to do so.
Every growth or wellness application suffers from the same problem: it’s either too broad to deliver actionable insights or it’s too narrow to ensure holistic development. On top of this, they fail to provide the personalized solutions consumers now expect, and they burden users with constantly having to navigate between disconnected tools and do the legwork of synthesizing insights. This fragmented approach overlooks the interconnectedness of growth, where mental, physical, and professional facets are deeply intertwined.
With Aneu, you just chat with your AI, and it manages all the planning, tracking, and accountability users need to stay on track with goals, streamlining the entire process.
We plan to implement a tiered paid subscription model, complemented by optional micropayments for enhanced features or increased usage. Additionally, we will offer enterprise and educational versions of Aneu through organization-wide licenses. Users will have the option to select a subscription plan (likely priced at $20, $30, or $40 respectively) with a usage allowance and feature list that works best for their needs. Our tiered model is designed to motivate power users to buy additional interactions should they exceed their monthly allowance.
With an estimated 86.3 million individuals currently using fitness and/or health apps, and 56% of these users opting for premium plans, the market potential is significant. MyFitnessPal leads with a 40% market share, with its closest competitor holding only 8%. Capturing just 10% of this market could yield an annual revenue of approximately $160 million from subscriptions alone - and that only considering the fitness and nutrition segments.
Given similar trends exist within the mental wellness and personal productivity app markets, Aneu has the potential to achieve annual revenues exceeding $1 billion.

Many individuals understand the significance of health and wellness, are familiar with its various aspects, and recognize the vitality inherent in living a well-balanced life. Despite this knowledge, a significant number fail to take steps to enhance their personal wellness or to appreciate the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. This discrepancy contributes to historically high rates of depression and obesity, highlighting a critical gap between awareness and action in the realm of personal health.
