Wang Ziru's first AI product VIVA unveiled: Three virtual personas manage diet, training, and sleep
Beating AI newsflash:ZEALER founder and former Gree executive Wang Ziru announced the first AI product VIVA being developed by him and his team, focused on personal health management.
It brings virtual personas—a nutritionist, fitness coach, and lifestyle assistant—into a single chat interface. Users only need to photograph a meal or state what they ate, and AI can estimate calories and log nutritional intake.
The fitness coach can schedule training based on the user's calendar, guide workouts, and track progress. The lifestyle assistant supports integration with Apple Health and adjusts daily recommendations using sleep and activity data. For example, if the user did not get enough sleep the previous night, it appropriately reduces training intensity that day. The personas can share information from the conversation, eliminating the need to open separate tools.
The product has some prior history. This year June, Wang Ziru demonstrated a AI health-management prototype he had developed. He disclosed that he had previously used AI to assist with fat loss, reducing his weight from 86 kilograms to 74 kilograms. During development, he sought to address key issues: Chinese cooking is complex, making calories difficult to estimate; and data from smart wearables is fragmented and must be manually organized before AI can analyze it.
This year August, Wang Ziru said that the startup software would be launched no later than September. The team now plans to provide October 23 to 25 on-site experiences at Xiaohongshu's “Mañana Tomorrow Park” in Haikou.
