Coach+ AI chat

Coach+ is an AI chat feature for real-time conversations with your personal coach β€” grounded in your actual fitness data, training history, and goals.

You don't need the chat to plan

Coach+ is optional. Everything it can do, you can also do directly in the app, and your plan works fully without ever opening the chat. Your weekly TSS target comes from your goal and your weekly availability, and the planner builds the sessions to fit. To shape your plan, use the Training Plan page (adjust availability, weekly TSS targets, and periodization) and the Calendar (move, edit, or delete any session). The chat is just a faster way to ask for those same changes in plain language.

What you can ask

  • Training advice β€” "Should I do intervals or endurance today?" "My legs feel heavy, what should I do?"

  • Performance analysis β€” "How has my FTP progressed this season?" "Am I training enough in Zone 2?"

  • Race prep β€” "Plan my pacing for a hilly 100km ride." "What should my taper look like?"

  • Nutrition β€” "What should I eat before a 3-hour ride?"

  • Workout changes β€” "Make today's workout shorter." "I only have 45 minutes."

  • Plan changes from chat β€” rebuild your weekly plan, build a custom workout from natural language ("5x5min at 105% with 2min rest"), or add and manage race events without leaving the chat.

Run up to 30 conversations in parallel, each with an AI title and context-aware starters. Persistent memory means Coach+ remembers your instructions ("focus on threshold", "avoid VO2max mid-week") across conversations β€” and they influence daily workout selection and your weekly plan, not just future replies.

How Coach+ handles changes: Ask first, Direct or Discuss

Under the message box you'll find a small mode chip. It decides what happens when you ask the coach to change something (move a ride, shorten a session, mark days off). Your choice is remembered for every conversation, on the web, iOS and Android.

  • Ask first (the default) β€” every change comes as a card you approve or cancel before anything happens.

  • Direct β€” small changes are applied right away: one workout created, moved, scaled or removed, or a few days marked unavailable. Each of those cards has an Undo that reverses the change for 24 hours. Bigger changes (clearing a range of workouts, rebuilding the plan, settings that affect the whole plan, races, memories) still come as a card.

  • Discuss β€” the coach proposes the changes in words first and waits for you to confirm before doing anything.

Whatever the mode, the coach only ever says a change is done when it really is; if something couldn't be applied, it tells you so.

Send a photo or screenshot (Max)

On Max you can add an image to a message with the Add media button next to the message box (on the web you can also paste or drop one in). Whatever is on your screen or in front of you, send it and Coach+ coaches on it: the coach reads what is in the picture, says what it sees, and responds to it like anything else you tell it. No retyping.

  • One image per message (JPEG, PNG or WebP). Your device shrinks it before it is sent, so a large photo is fine.

  • The full image is only used for that reply. Afterwards the conversation keeps a small thumbnail and a one-line description, so later messages stay fast.

Proactive nudges

Coach+ is mostly reactive: you ask, it answers. But it also reaches out on its own with the occasional timely heads-up (push notification) β€” for example when tomorrow has a demanding session to fuel for, when you’ve missed a planned workout, or when your fitness is trailing your goal. Tapping the nudge opens a Coach+ chat already focused on that topic, so you can act in one step. You control these in your notification settings.

Message limits

Limits reset monthly and only your messages count β€” the coach's replies are free. Pro includes 20/month, Max 200/month. See remaining messages in the chat panel. Max users can also buy top-up packs (100, 200, or 500 messages) that never expire.
