Sleepagotchi launches AI sleep coach, names Kenny Wood CEO

Sleepagotchi announced the launch of an AI Sleep Coach MVP and named Kenny Wood as chief executive, while founding CEO Anton Kraminkin moves to a strategic advisor role. The company said the product is available now and represents the first public release in a planned set of connected AI agents.

The AI Sleep Coach connects daily biometric and behavioral signals from wearables to AI tools that identify routine changes, emerging patterns and suggested next steps. Live integrations with Whoop, Oura and Apple Watch feed sleep and recovery metrics into the coaching experience, according to the announcement.

Sleepagotchi reported that its Telegram Lite product has reached 2 million all-time users and that 78% of users open the app within 10 minutes of waking. The company also said a recent three-week beta generated more than $100,000 in revenue.

Kenny Wood joins Sleepagotchi with more than 20 years of experience in games, simulations and AI-driven creative systems. His background includes work on consumer games and technology projects and leadership roles at companies such as VSTEP and Moonlander. Anton Kraminkin will focus on long-term vision, partnerships and the platform’s original gamification model. Investors Shalini Wood and Aditya Julka will serve as growth partners, concentrating on brand, community and user expansion.

Sleepagotchi described a product strategy that places user-owned health data at the center of the experience. The company said users will have permissioned control over any data shared with partners. The platform’s native $SLEEP token is intended to support AI agent credits, subscription benefits, staked user tiers, gamified rewards and marketplace access, with token mechanics tied to future permissioned data use cases and partner campaigns.

Investors have provided $6.5 million in funding, with participation from Sfermion, Inception, 6th Man Ventures, Collab+Currency, 1kx, Alliance, GSR and Everyrealm. Sfermion and Inception supported the leadership change and pointed to daily engagement metrics as a basis for expanding the product beyond sleep rewards.

The company plans to add more AI agents for wellness coaching, meal planning and shopping support that link daily health data with concrete actions across sleep, diet, exercise and recovery. The announcement identified the next tests as user adoption of the AI coaching product beyond the core sleep rewards base and the implementation of permissioned data partnerships and token-based utilities.
