About the client

Founded early in 2022 in New York, Motus is a fitness platform that revolutionizes yoga in the home. Like Peloton for cycling, users can select workouts from their favourite trainers, and receive coaching in real time through AI analysis of their body movements. This new approach to 1:1 coaching has led to explosive growth from launch.

Goal

The founder, Ankit, had an ambitious goal to relaunch the app with AI by the end of 2022.

Problem

Ankit could not find anyone with the skillset (TensorFlow/ML) to develop the program for recognising the body movements of users to enable real time feedback.

Why they chose Skipp

Ankit was referred by existing customer because Skipp has an existing network of vetted specialists. He supplied us with a detailed description of what they needed, emphasizing the importance of high-quality applicants with deep machine learning knowledge. The first candidate was a perfect match, and was hired to start working on the project within 1 week of the first conversation with Skipp.
