It is hard to engage app users. Timing is everything. Sending a push in the wrong moment gets you uninstalled. Using smartphone sensors to understand user context is difficult. The company gives developers an SDK that provides user context. The SDK is installed within minutes. It only consumes 0.2% battery per hour. It shows higher accuracy than OS embedded Activity APIs. And it works across platforms iOS, Android, Phonegap. Once activated predict.io constantly reads the sensors (accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, etc.).
