What if your health assistant didn’t just track your data and provide insights… but actually acted on it for you? 👀📱 That’s what @karina_repko and her co-founder @MadlenerNikolai are building with @getmiora, what she describes as the “OpenClaw for Health.” 🧠⚡️ An AI-powered personal health assistant that works through iMessage 💬, connects to your wearables ⌚️, books your workout classes🏋️‍♂️, orders your food and supplements🥙💊, and gives you personalized health insights designed to help you make better decisions in real life. In this new episode of Original & Unconventional @oaupod, I sat down with @karina_repko, CEO & co-founder of @getmiora, to talk about what it actually looks like to build an AI startup in health tech today. 🚀 We talked about: • the origin story behind miora ✨ • fundraising and startup challenges 💰 • building in public on LinkedIn and social media 🌎 • dealing with criticism and negative reactions online 💭 • the importance of having the right co-founder and people around you 🤝 • and one important piece of advice for anyone who wants to build something of their own 🛠️ What stood out to me is how transparent Karina is about both the ambition and the emotional realities of building a company from the ground up. A really interesting conversation about #AI, #wellness, #startups, and the future of personalized #health. 🧬 🔗This episode is now on YouTube: youtu.be/LHq3ROCrA-Y?si=acM0…

26yo 2nd acquisition offer today from a healthcare company for @getmiora got my dear cto thinking @MadlenerNikolai

This is why SF should be single till Series B. Who needs a girlfriend when your health agent: 1. Books your workouts, tennis courts and dinners 2. Runs your and friends schedule 3. Keeps you accountable @getmiora on iMessage.

health on autopilot: spoke about the future of (health) agents with @ArnaudAuger at @frontiertower yesterday

AI agents are about to run our emails, calendars, and companies. But who is running our health? Next week we’re hosting a small event on the future of health, wearables, AI agents, and why IRL community matters more than ever. Super hyped for this panel discussion with @JMstein Stein (@AlchemySprings), @ArnaudAuger Auger 🇺🇸🇫🇷 (@Cathayinnov Innovation) & @paulschneider_ (@fortwearable) ! DM for the link :)

I’ve been obsessed with @Barrys for the past 4 years. My weekly 6am classes in SF were usually booked out if I didn’t manage to reserve a spot a week in advance. So we built a new feature with our favourite health agent, @getmiora. miora can now: 1. Proactively book classes via Barry’s & @classpass 2. Add them to your calendar 3. Remind you 24 hours before in case you want to cancel based on your sleep or energy

super excited to be hosting this next week with @JMstein & @AlchemySprings & @getmiora DM for invite x

“Omg she slid into my DMs.” And no… it’s not a another situationship. It’s my dear baby girl miora. And yes - she now lives inside iMessage. We just launched miora on iMessage and I’m kind of obsessed. Now I can literally text my health assistant and she will: 1. Integrate with my @WHOOP , @classpass , and @Barrys 2. Book my favorite classes via text or voice memo and add them straight to my calendar 3. Remind me 24 hours before so I don’t get hit with the $30 cancellation fee 4. And (very important) also remind me to take my magnesium. Health apps shouldn’t just track your life. They should run it. PS: iMessage live on Testflight. Our dear @Apple is taking another nap.

Today I turned down an acquisition / hiring offer from one of my two top fav health brands. Four weeks ago, @MadlenerNikolai and I were going through a full founder identity crisis. Pivoting. Rebuilding. Wondering if we were insane. But something shifted. Suddenly, the idea of stopping now felt way crazier than continuing. So we said no. Let’s see what happens next @getmiora

Last September, when I first came to San Francisco, I didn’t know a soul. I arrived with no roadmap and no guarantees - just curiosity and a strong pull toward the energy of this city. Fast forward a few months… and somehow I’m now featured on the walls of @SFMOMA. How crazy is that? So now I’m part of Diversify: Female Founders in the Bay Area, alongside 100 founders breaking barriers and redefining industries. Still feels surreal. But here’s the thing: It’s 2026. There are more founders than ever. More capital than ever. And yet only about 2% of venture capital funding goes to female founders. There are so many incredible women out there - hungry, determined, and building companies that will define the next decade. They just don’t always get the same shot. So it's time we change that. Thank you @newsaddiction & @daxeinc for bringing awareness to this topic and creating space for female founders. If you are in town on May 6th, drop by the exhibit :)

RT @MadlenerNikolai: @fdotinc festival was a blast! we had a miora mirror at our booth. check it out and see your full potential 👉 https://…

Introducing a new category of app: your daily health assistant Think: OpenClaw for health. Unlike other health apps, miora is the first health assistant that actually runs your life: 1.) Books your workouts for you: integrates with ClassPass your favorite studios so you never miss booking windows or get waitlisted again 2.) Orders food for your goals: high-protein, cycle-aware meals without scrolling DoorDash 3.) Adjusts everything to your body: workouts, recovery, nutrition based on your cycle energy Why? Because staying healthy shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job. You shouldn’t have to plan everything. track everything. decide everything. Your health should just… run. 👇 welcome to health on autopilot @getmiora
