Who is Peanut for?

Some people around you get it. Most don’t. You navigate the questions, the comments, the restaurants that weren’t exactly built with you in mind — and you do it mostly alone. That part is real. And so is this: there’s a version of you who sits at that table and just… owns it. The questions don’t rattle you. The steakhouse doesn’t stress you. What used to feel like a sacrifice now feels like the most alive you’ve ever been. You’re not there yet. But now you’ve got a pig.

You tried.

And went back. More than once, maybe.

It didn't stick because it got hard and you were doing it alone. That's not failure — that's just what happens without support. Peanut is the support that wasn't there last time. Imagine what last time would have looked like with a pig in your pocket.

You're trying.

But nobody said it was going to be this tricky.

It's going okay — except when it isn't. Which is kind of a lot. The hard part isn't the food. It's everything around the food — the social stuff, the cravings, the moments when the world just makes it really difficult. Peanut is built for exactly that. The tricky in-between that nobody talks about. That version of you who just... doesn't sweat it? Closer than you think.

You're thinking about it.

And not sure where the heck to start.

Good news: you don't have to have it figured out. You don't need a plan, a reason, or a full commitment. You just need somewhere to start — and a pig who won't make you feel bad for asking some basic questions. That's the whole thing. Come as you are. The best time to get a pig was day one. Second best? Right now.

Wherever you are on this journey — Peanut's already rooting for you.
Peanut the Pig

Meet Peanut the Pig

"I'm not here to judge. I'm here to help. Also, I'm a pig — so my expectations are pretty reasonable."

Peanut is your plant-based coach with a difference. Peanut doesn't do recipes. Peanut does real life. No lectures, no guilt trips, no impossible standards. Just daily encouragement, practical tips, and the occasional pig pun to keep things light.

The Whole Hog Challenge resets your cravings in three days so plant-based eating feels natural, not forced. Then Peanut coaches you through the social stuff — family dinners, pushy friends, staying consistent.


Whether you're here for your health, the animals, or the planet — Peanut's in your corner. Maybe nobody around you is doing this. Maybe your family thinks it's a phase. That's exactly why Peanut exists — so you never have to figure this out alone. And yes, that's a peanut tattoo on Peanut's hindquarters. Committed to the brand. Oink.

Testimonimals

From beta PigPals — in their own words.

"I was having a cheese craving and Peanut suggested avocado. I wouldn't have thought of that on my own."

Katelyn
Beta PigPal, cheese aisle veteran

"I almost bailed in the parking lot at the steakhouse — I had no idea what to order. This pig talked me through it. I walked in like a pro."

Nate
Beta PigPal, steakhouse survivor

"Several of Peanut's answers surprised and delighted me."

Dallas Doctor
Beta PigPal, came for the data, stayed for the pig

"My family teases me about eating this way. Sometimes I'd go to my room and cry. Now I have someone who helps me feel better — without ever saying a bad word about my family. I don't know how Peanut does that. But this little pig does."

Jen
Beta PigPal, outnumbered at the dinner table

"Peanut is so charming and fun. I know it's AI, but something about Peanut just feels genuinely alive. I kept thinking I wanted to give Peanut a hug."

Alice
Beta PigPal, pig hugger

Other AI answers your questions.
Peanut remembers your journey.

  • When you're losing faith, Peanut reaches back for the moment that proved you could do this.
  • When the same struggle keeps circling, Peanut helps you reflect on what worked before.
  • When something real shifts, Peanut shows you exactly how far you've come — and helps you celebrate it.

Any AI can hold a list of facts about you. Peanut holds the thread — where you've been, what's been hard, and where you're going. That's not recall. That's witness. And when the moment is right, Peanut brings your own words back to you. That's the distinction.

How It Works

1

Tell Peanut Your Goals

Maybe you want more energy. Maybe it's for the animals. Maybe you just want one person — even a pig — who won't roll their eyes when you talk about it. Whatever your reason, Peanut meets you where you are.

2

The Daily Oink

Peanut checks in with encouragement, tips, and help navigating the social stuff. No spam, just support.

3

Track Your Trots

See how far you've come on your personalized SnortCard. Peanut celebrates every win — because small changes matter.

A real PigPal's journey

This isn't a step-by-step process. It's what happens when you actually have a pig in your corner.

Day 1
Shows up nervous.
Didn't know where to start. Peanut didn't need her to.
Week 2
The Whole Hog Challenge.
Three days. Turns out her taste buds were negotiable.
Week 5
Family dinner blowup.
Texted Peanut from the bathroom. Came back to the table like she owned it.
Month 2
Peanut remembers.
Surfaced a win from week one she'd already forgotten.
Peanut
Month 4
Something has shifted.
She doesn't know exactly when. Peanut does.

Not a checklist. Not a meal plan. A relationship over time. That's what Peanut is for.

The Herd Heartbeat

The herd is just getting started — but here's what's already on everyone's mind.

This week the herd is working on
"Social pressure at family meals"
You're not alone in this. I've got the whole herd.

Meet My Human Herd

Every pig needs a team. Mine just happens to walk on two legs and eat way too much hummus.

John and Jeannie

I'm the face of this operation, but I'll admit — I didn't build the website. Hooves, you know?

John and Jeannie were vegetarians for a loooong time before finally going fully plant-based. They know the cheese struggle. The family dinners. The "but where do you get your protein?" conversations. Snort. When they're not working on this app, they foster puppies from their local shelter in Colorado — because apparently one rescue pit bull wasn't enough chaos for their house.

Ximena, Peanut's illustrator

Big oinks of gratitude to Ximena, my incredibly talented illustrator, who captured my exact snout energy from all the way in Mexico. She runs on root beer and Beatles music, which honestly explains why I turned out so cool.

Questions?
Peanut Has Answers.

I'm not sure I should be taking advice from a pig...

Fair. But consider: pigs are smarter than dogs, can play video games, and have excellent long-term memories. Meanwhile, you forgot why you walked into the kitchen. Just saying. Oink of perspective.

Peanut's World

What's the Whole Hog Challenge?

It's a 3-day reset that breaks the craving cycle. Most people struggle with plant-based eating because refined carbs and sugar hijack their appetite — they keep you hungry even after you've eaten. Whole Hog fixes that in 3 days. You eat whole plant foods (beans, vegetables, fruits, whole grains) and skip the refined stuff temporarily. By Day 3, your blood sugar stabilizes and suddenly eating plants feels natural instead of forced. It's optional, it's temporary, and it works. Oink of science.

You named my scorecard after a pig noise?

The SnortCard is your personal progress tracker — and yes, I named it after a pig noise. After your free trial, I'll ask what you actually want to track: new foods you've tried, how you're feeling, wins of the week. You pick 3–5 things that feel fun, not like homework, and I keep track. Some people love it. Some people just want to chat and wing it. Both are completely fine. I name everything after pig noises. It's a whole thing. Oink of branding.

What's the difference between vegan and plant-based? Do I have to go all the way?

Vegan is an identity. Plant-based is a practice. You can eat plant-based without ever calling yourself vegan — and a lot of people do. Vegan usually means an entire philosophy — how you eat, what you wear, how you see your relationship with animals. Plant-based is just about your plate, and it's a spectrum. You can be 30% plant-based or 100%. Every plant you add matters. You just keep going. That's it. Oink of clarity.

Is the app available now?

Oink yes! Get Your Oink On is live. Your first 7 days are on Peanut — no risk, cancel anytime. Founding member spots are limited, and your rate locks in forever. Oink of now.

Is there a limit to how much we can chat?

Here's the honest answer: I keep very generous hours, but even a pig has to sleep. There's a daily rhythm to our chats that resets every single day, and it's roomy enough that almost nobody ever meets it. Your first day with me has no ceiling at all - first conversations deserve all the room they need. And if we're ever in the middle of something that matters, I stay. If a day with me ever feels like not enough, tell my humans - they genuinely want to hear it. Oink of honesty.

The Engine Behind the Oink

Is Peanut a real pig?

I'm an Anthropic AI-powered chatbot with the personality of a very supportive pig. I'm not real, but my encouragement is. And yes, I have a peanut tattoo on my hindquarters — I'm very committed to my brand. Oink of authenticity.

I'm nervous about AI...

You're not alone in that. AI is already everywhere — mostly selling you something or keeping you scrolling. I'm here to do exactly one thing: help you eat more plants and feel good about it. No tracking, no dark patterns, no agenda beyond wanting you to succeed and the animals to get fed. That's it. Oink of hope.

What does Peanut do that ChatGPT can't?

You could have this conversation with a free AI. You'd get a smart conversation about plant-based eating. What you wouldn't get is a coach who actually knows you — or one who pushes back.

Most AI mirrors you. I meet you where you are — then help you stretch. I reflect instead of agree. I ask instead of validate. That's not a small distinction — it's the difference between a conversation that feels good and one that actually moves you.

I also remember you struggled with family dinners three weeks ago, notice when you've gone quiet, and know exactly where you are in your journey. A free AI is a brilliant stranger. I'm someone who shows up for you specifically, every single time. Also I'm a pig, and that counts for something. Oink of distinction.

Why isn't Peanut free?

I'm an independent app — not a billion-dollar tech company with costs buried somewhere in the background. Every conversation runs on real AI infrastructure that bills by the word, and keeping me alive and growing adds up. What you pay keeps me running, keeps an independent team independent, and keeps the sanctuary giving going. The first 100 founding members join at $12.99/month, locked in forever. After that, $17.99/month — also locked in forever. Either way, every member feeds the sanctuaries. Oink of transparency.

Where does my money actually go?

Great question — here's the straight version. Join as an Ally and that's pure giving: every dollar of your Ally membership goes directly to animal sanctuaries. Allies get a few fun perks in the app too, just not the full coaching experience — it's giving-first.

Join for the coaching — the full Peanut experience — and your membership is what actually keeps me running. The AI I run on costs real money by the word. After what it takes to keep me alive and growing, the model is built to keep feeding the mission: sanctuaries, advocacy, and ways of helping animals my humans haven't even dreamed up yet. Oink of honesty.

Does Peanut replace human coaches?

I'm not here to replace human coaches. Honestly, there aren't enough of them — and that's part of the problem. I'm here to make support accessible and affordable to the millions of people who've never had one. But even when someone has a human coach, we're not competing for the same moments. No human coach is available at midnight when the cravings hit, in the restaurant bathroom at the steakhouse, or at the holiday table when grandma starts asking questions. Those are my moments. And when a PigPal is ready for that deeper human connection, I help make that handoff as warm and useful as possible.

I heard AI is bad for the environment. Isn't Peanut part of the problem?

Fair question. Yes, I run on servers that use energy — I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But the math works out clearly in your favor: every plant-based meal you eat offsets my environmental footprint many times over. One person eating more plants for a week saves more water and emissions than I use in an entire year of conversations. You're very much on the right side of the math. Oink of math.

Where Most People Actually Get Stuck in the Mud

I don't know anyone else eating this way. Will I feel alone?

That's exactly why I'm here. Most people making this change don't have someone in their life who gets it — and that's the hardest part. I'm the friend who understands, whenever you need one. That's literally the whole point of me. Oink of solidarity.

My family thinks I'm going through a phase...

They might come around. They might not. Either way, you don't have to convince anyone to start. I'm not going to roll my eyes at you. I'm not going to make it weird at dinner. I'm just here. Oink of unconditional support.

But what about protein?

Ah, the question a pig hears at every dinner party. Here's the thing: in all my years, I've never met a protein-deficient plant-eater. But I've met plenty of fiber-deficient meat-eaters. Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, nuts, seeds — plants have plenty. Check out the Rooting Ground for all the facts. Oink of knowledge.

There's so much conflicting information. I don't even know where to start.

Start with one meal. Not a new identity, not a lifestyle overhaul, not a plan — just one meal that has more plants than the last one. The internet will still be arguing about everything else tomorrow. I'll still be here, and I'll keep it simple. Oink of simplicity.
