This paper describes an artificial agent system, K-InCA, designed to help people to adopt new behaviours. This agent continuously observes the actions of the user in order to build and maintain a "behavioural profile" which reflects the level of adoption of the "desired" behaviours.

Using this profile information, and relying on a model borrowed from change management theories, the agent provides customized guidance, mentoring and stimulation, and supports the user change from his old behaviors to the new ones.
