SAUDI ARABIA ANNOUNCES 2026 FUTURE AVIATION FORUM TO CONVENE GLOBAL AVIATION LEADERS, EXTENDS RECORD-BREAKING AVIATION GROWTH

SAUDI ARABIA ANNOUNCES 2026 FUTURE AVIATION FORUM TO CONVENE GLOBAL AVIATION LEADERS, EXTENDS RECORD-BREAKING AVIATION GROWTH

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SleepAI.com, a personalized AI sleep companion, today announced the launch of an AI-powered sleep and emotional wellness platform, now available on both the iOS and Google Play app stores. The platform is designed to address one of modern life's most persistent challenges: the growing disconnect between how people live and how they sleep.

Redefining Sleep Tech: A Custom-Built, End-to-End Intelligent Management Ecosystem

SleepAI.com moves beyond traditional sleep apps that rely primarily on static audio content. Instead, the platform delivers an adaptive, data-driven sleep experience powered by large-scale artificial intelligence models, offering individualized guidance that evolves with each user's emotional state, sleep patterns, and long-term habits.

At the core of SleepAI.com is an end-to-end intelligent sleep management system that spans perception, intervention, monitoring, and optimization. By continuously learning from user behavior and physiological signals, the platform is designed to adapt to individuals over time—rather than asking users to adjust themselves to rigid programs or one-size-fits-all routines.

Every individual is unique, and so is their sleep experience. More than just companionship, SleepAI.com learns from each user and continuously refines its approach, delivering science-backed improvements to help users sleep better, night after night.

Wearable-Free Sleep Monitoring and Adaptive Personalized Guidance

Beyond companionship, SleepAI.com emphasizes measurable outcomes. The system continuously adapts personalized sleep guidance based on real data, aiming to deliver science-backed, verifiable improvements in sleep quality over time.

SleepAI.com's capabilities extend across multiple dimensions of sleep and emotional well-being. The platform provides personalized sleep guidance informed by users' emotions, routines, and preferences, with AI-generated experiences designed to ease restlessness and reduce sleep-related anxiety. During sleep, the system can monitor breathing patterns, body movement, and ambient noise—without requiring wearable devices—and can issue real-time alerts when irregularities are detected, adding an additional layer of nighttime safety.

Upon waking, users receive a comprehensive sleep report covering more than 40 dimensions of sleep health. Progress is tracked continuously, allowing the system to dynamically adjust recommendations and optimize each user's personalized sleep plan over time.

SleepAI utilizes minimal required data for its personalized sleep and mental health support services. Data used for model optimization is subjected to comprehensive anonymization and de-identification, preventing any potential re-identification of individuals.

Meet Your AI Sleep Companion Pufflo, Optimizing Nightly Routines Through Empathetic Interaction

Recognizing the close relationship between emotional health and sleep, SleepAI.com also offers a private emotional space where users can reflect, express feelings, and engage in guided mindfulness exercises. Using AI-driven insights, the platform responds to emotional cues and supports users in building calmer, more balanced nighttime routines.

To further infuse the sleep experience with personalization and emotional warmth, the platform has integrated Pufflo, an intelligent AI companion. Moving beyond the role of a standard virtual assistant, Pufflo acts as a personalized wellness confidant that understands users and offers real-time emotional resonance.

During the pre-sleep window, Pufflo analyzes a user's emotional state, sleep history, and personal preferences to curate bespoke content—such as exclusive meditations, sleep stories, or soothing white noise. This seamless guidance helps users drift off naturally, helping to break the cycle of restless tossing and turning and sleep-onset anxiety.

"We have always been committed to enhancing global well-being through technological innovation," said Leo, CEO of Sleep AI Technology. "Sleep and emotional health are at the core of modern life. We believe that truly personalized AI companionship can empower everyone to reclaim their own peaceful nights."

As conversations around mental health, burnout, and sleep deprivation continue to grow globally, SleepAI.com aims to redefine what a sleep platform can be—shifting from passive content consumption to active, intelligent, and personalized sleep support for modern life.
