A way to motivate people (including myself) to exercise with a chat bot that tracks your progress.

Originally built it to track how often I worked out, and if I didn't, what the reason was and have that reported back to me regularly. Now I have a bunch of people using it, but as you can imagine, makes me zero dollars. Well, technically it costs me money so it makes me negative dollars.

Great job. Thanks for sharing. It doesn't recognize me though

I'm following _kaizen_ technique to improve my reading skills (eg. reading 20-30 pages, everyday). Would be interested if your bot support more than exercise
