Our Ethos
GreenDial is designed to give people access to the benefits of artificial intelligence by providing a simple way to interact with it through a conversational interface — no forms, no appointments, no jargon. You just talk to Doc, and your health profile builds itself.
GreenDial is a free system, created to care about people's well-being and help distribute basic health and life benefits, universally. We believe the advantages of good AI — personalized guidance, patient listening, tireless follow-up — shouldn't be locked behind cost or complexity. Everyone should be able to get that kind of support for sleep, diet, exercise, stress, and the rest of daily life.
How It Works
Doc is your primary AI health coordinator. Talk to Doc about anything — sleep, diet, exercise, stress, relationships — and it routes your question to the right specialist agent behind the scenes (or several at once, synthesized by Cross AI, if your question spans domains). Every conversation quietly builds your health profile, and each day GreenDial generates a small batch of personalized Suggestions you can accept (turning them into trackable Activities) or dismiss.

Universal Bounty (UB) Demand-Side
Anyone — friends, family, employers, health insurers, or government programs — can sponsor a real, priced health activity for someone they care about or serve. We call these Universal Bounties, or UBs. A UB targets a list of GreenDial users directly and offers to pay for a concrete action: a 10,000-step walk, a preventive screening, a week of home-cooked dinners.
A sponsor creates a UB via POST /bounty: the activity, a health area, a price and currency, an expiration date, and the specific user_ids it's targeting.
Targeted users see the UB surface as one of their daily Suggestions — shown with its price — ahead of GreenDial's regular AI-generated suggestions.
The user accepts the suggestion, which becomes a tracked Activity, and completes it in their own time.
On completion, GreenDial snapshots the user's linked wallet address and marks the activity's payment as pending.
payment_pending — but there is no on-chain escrow and no automatic transfer today. Settling payment to the user is on the sponsor, off-platform. This may evolve; today it's intentionally simple and transparent about that limitation.Interested in sponsoring a UB for a loved one, employee, member, or constituent? Use the dedicated demand-side page — Sponsor a bounty → — to find people who opted into discovery, draft a simple activity with AI help (default: “take a walk sometime in the next day”), and choose one-time or weekly/monthly. Institutions can also use the API with an X-API-Key; see API Docs.
Want friends or programs to be able to find you? In GreenDial Settings → Universal Bounty, turn on “Open to Universal Bounties.” Leave it off anytime to decline public listing.
Founder
I'm Mickey Shaughnessy, based in Colorado, and I've built things all my life.
I built GreenDial because I think the benefits of good AI — patient, personalized, always-available guidance — shouldn't be gated behind cost or complexity. GreenDial is free, and it's built around a simple conversation instead of forms and appointments, because that's the easiest way for anyone to get help with their health and well-being. Universal Bounty extends that same idea outward: it lets anyone — friends, family, employers, insurers, or governments — put real resources directly toward someone's health, through the same simple interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GreenDial?
GreenDial is a free AI health companion. You chat with Doc, a coordinating AI, which routes your questions to specialist agents (diet, exercise, sleep, mental health, relationships, environment, and more) and builds your health profile automatically as you talk.
Is GreenDial really free?
Yes. There's no subscription and no paywalled tier. GreenDial accepts optional donations to help keep the AI running, but using Doc, the specialist agents, Suggestions, and Activities costs nothing.
Is this a substitute for a doctor?
No. GreenDial is a HIPAA-waived personal wellness assistant, not a medical provider. It offers general guidance on sleep, diet, exercise, stress, and everyday well-being — it does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace professional medical care. If you're experiencing a medical emergency or suicidal ideation, GreenDial's Mind agent will point you to the 988 crisis line, but always seek qualified professional help for medical concerns.
How does Doc build my profile automatically?
As you chat, Doc extracts relevant details — goals, conditions, preferences, context — and saves them to your profile in the background. There are no intake forms to fill out; the more you talk with Doc, the more complete and useful your profile becomes.
What are the specialist agents and Cross AI?
Beyond Doc, GreenDial has dedicated agents for exercise, diet, sleep, mental health, relationships, environment, and preventive health ("Protect AI"), plus a fully custom agent you can define yourself. When a question touches more than one domain, Cross AI runs the relevant specialists in parallel and synthesizes their perspectives into one answer.
What are Suggestions and Activities?
Each day, GreenDial generates a small batch of personalized Suggestions — specific, actionable ideas across exercise, diet, and social health. Accept one and it becomes an Activity you can track and mark complete; dismiss it if it's not for you.
What is Universal Bounty (UB), and who can create one?
Anyone can sponsor a priced health activity for a specific GreenDial user — friends and family, employers, health insurers, and government programs all use the same endpoint. See the Universal Bounty section above for the full flow.
How does UB payment actually work?
It's an honor system today: GreenDial records the price, currency, and a snapshot of the user's wallet address when an activity completes, and flags it as payment-pending. There's no on-chain escrow or automatic transfer — the sponsor is responsible for settling payment off-platform.
How do I get an API key to create a UB?
Email mickey@theservicesexchange.com with a bit about who you'd like to sponsor. UB and demand-side preview endpoints require an X-API-Key header — full request/response shapes are documented at /docs.
Where is my data stored, and can I delete it?
Your profile, conversations, suggestions, and activities are stored as JSON in DigitalOcean Spaces (S3-compatible storage) tied to your account. Email mickey@theservicesexchange.com if you'd like your data exported or deleted.
Where's the source code, and how do I integrate with the API?
GreenDial is open-source on GitHub. Full endpoint documentation, including the UB API, lives at /docs, and /arazzo walks through ten real usage examples end-to-end.
How do I reach you?
