Is "needy" exercise equipment a thing? That could be a cool product. Or, instead of the bike needing attention, how about the bike feeds/walks/plays with a cute dog. If you don't use it you have an app of your dog begging you to exercise.

We'll put a social aspect in there too. If you sign up with a friend, your pet will start asking for food from your friend if you don't exercise enough (to your embarrassment).

Every fitness tracker can already do this, or at least could, yet it's not really taking off. I'm guessing that blame and negative emotion are not the best ways to sell stuff.

Except maybe if they are physical products. Having a thing or a person that reminds me of my chores is probably easier on me than a non-local notification system that makes my whole e-mail experience unpleasant, or social media experience, or even spoils my whole phone.

I want it to talk to the user in an Alien Kid voice from Her.

"Get off your fucking fatass, you fucking fatty! You call that tub of shit a body? The scale tells me you gained four fucking pounds this week!"
